Lets say after that first day of hell, the mindset quickly shifted and the light bulb moment arrived.

Non European flights are gated on the west side of Terminal 5, so there's a effort to segregate and will be for the foreseeable future.

For those departing, only two food services are open on the departures side. Goddess and the Grocer (departure hall) and Burger King by M7. Hub51's bar is still open within the main food court area.
The medical screening by CDC/CDC-cooperating health screeners at ORD is still done in substantial part in the baggage claim area?

When our embassies are contacted in Europe, AMS and FRA are the primary Schengen gateway referrals for Americans seeking repatriation travel to the US using scheduled commercial carriers.
