Do we ban flights from Texas now?

Now that a nurse who was employed in an unsafe situation and got sick has broken quarantine, flown from Texas and potentially exposed more people, do we ban flights from Texas?

People in Texas should just vacation in their own state, no need to be flying all over and spreading their nasty germs. Right?

This is .

ETA, I wish her and all exposed the best of luck and health and hope to hell hospitals figure out how the fuck to quit over working, under staffing, and make conditions safe for all by providing proper equipment, gear, etc etc etc.

Too bad we didn't ban passengers that had traveled for West Africa when we had the chance.
