One of the airports taking added precautions is JFK in New York. However, as Tammy Bruce pointed out, it’s taking some time to implement:
JFK temperature screening starts Saturday. It's Wednesday. It takes them 3 freaking days to implement basic protocol in a ltd environment?!

@HeyTammyBruce @mikepfingston2 getting thermometers from Walgreens takes a while! Have you ever seen how long the prescription line can get?

@HeyTammyBruce It's a govt agency. If it were a private company, it would have to ask permission (in triplicate) from politicians.

@HeyTammyBruce In the grand scheme of things, these screenings are virtually worthless. Stop the flights, close the borders.@wendykjohns

Now, now. Remember, as the CDC director said, blame the virus, not the people involved.
