checking in via app and "have you been to China in the last two weeks" question

Yesterday when using OLCI for my return flight home from MEX this message popped up. The CBP officer at DFW also asked me the same question when I handed him my GE ticket. What happens if you say "yes"?

Further questioning is likely, possible results being anything from “have a good day” to “Do you know what a 14 day quarantine is?”

The latter would probably be guaranteed with “I was on the last train out of Wuhan to Shanghai, but my fever is so bad and I’m so tired I’d rather not talk about it after having a miserable time coughing and getting no sleep on the flight...”

the Trump administration said Friday that it would bar entry by most foreign nationals who had recently visited China and put some American travelers under a quarantine as it declared a rare public health emergency...

The administration’s action will restrict all foreign nationals who have been to China in the past 14 days from entering the United States. The restriction does not include immediate family members of American citizens and permanent residents...

any American citizen returning to the United States from the Hubei Province in China, where the outbreak is centered, would be subject to up to 14 days of mandatory quarantine. Any American returning to the country who has visited the rest of mainland China within the last 14 days will undergo proactive health screening at selective ports of entry.

I was wondering if CBD was helpful if you had Coronavirus, or is it better used to prevent Coronavirus.
I think the best way to avoid Coronavirus is to drink Dos Equis (XX) if you must drink a non-German beer

His first question should be "what the heck are you doing flying AA?" because he reads your posts on FT.
The second would be, " was that the PRC, Hong Kong or Macao, or transiting HKG/MFM? TPE/TNN or SIN? Or TYO etc.

If you do get the Coronavirus, the best solution is to also contract Lyme disease. Because, what's a Corona without a lime?
