Regarding infected people being allowed to fly to USA from China, if they had refused Americans wanting to leave, and forced them to stay in China Americans would have gone bananas and threatened nuclear war. This is an interesting proposition MQ. But the US did embargo travellers from China and then quarantined US citizens much later. I guess your point is that it was politically acceptable then but wouldn't have been when the virus wasn't as clear. But for this to make sense wouldn't you think the Chinese should have at least told US and other countries that they wanted to shut down flights? And if those countries protested then your argument would make sense. But that isn't what happened. In fact, even when the US wanted to shut down flights, much later, China protested and even told the WHO to protest it. So it doesn't seem to match your story that China merely reflected the concerns of US citizens wanting to get home. To me it seems clear that China prevented travel from Wuhan to other parts of China much before it prevented travel out of Wuhan to other countries. Somehow the same level of safety or concern was not communicated to the receivers of flights from China as was communicated to the Wuhan police at the airport in Wuhan for flights to other parts of China. The elephant in the room though is Dr Li Meng Yan who is a defector from Hong Kong to US at great personal peril. She was very much involved with the virus in a Hong Kong research facility involved in coronavirus oversight. She is saying that the virus is not "natural" and was definitely a combination of elements that are much more dangerous to humans than were viruses in bats. So it is becoming clearer that they knew the virus was much more dangerous, much earlier, since someone in their labs made the virus. So this makes the decision not to ban flights even more serious. You can hear her discussion more clearly in Episode 307 and 308 of Stephen Bannon's War Room podcast. Here is a link to podcast 307. podcast.app
