"President Biden warned Saturday that
another terrorist attack at the Kabul airport sometime in the coming
days was “highly likely,” and he promised that the U.S. retaliatory
strike for Thursday’s suicide attack would not be the last.
The warning was yet another sign of the chaotic and dangerous situation as the U.S. tried to pull the last remaining Americans and Afghans out of a Taliban-controlled Afghanistan before the Tuesday deadline."
There are very few U.S. citizens left in Afghanistan who wish to leave now.
Afghan nationals are a different matter.

Oh?
Here’s a report on how New Zealand handled their latest outbreak. Their
contract tracers contacted 13,000 people and stopped 110 chains of
