OMG-4 passengers just died on a Holland America cruise ship headed for Florida

[Anonymous]

On an average day, a cruise ship is a floating Petri dish. People were canceling spring break plans right and left, but some people think it's a good idea to get on a ship?

He could have said “don’t go on a cruise”, but he said “this will all be over soon”.

Lol. You are really reaching.

I went on a March 7th cruise to the western Caribbean and it was absolutely wonderful, everyone on the ship was having a fun time, I am so glad that we were able to go before the cruise ships were stopped. I can honestly say that I am glad I went on that cruise as opposed to going to NYC...which we had talked about doing.

Bullshit. Trump did not say that.

Fauci and CDC are not Trump.

Ain't that the understatement of the year.

I wouldn't say that too loudly. I don't think the CDC has been doing an acceptable job during any of this either. This is literally what they are supposed to DO. There are thousands of people involved, all taking a good salary to protect us from these things and manage them properly. I have no respect for the CDC after all this.

If only they were properly funded and staffed.

I really don't see this as a reason. If every employee at the CDC was working effectively and doing everything they could to get PPE and push forward treatment development/discovery then I'd love to hear about that, but I really don't think it was the case.

People like Elon Musk could go and buy ventilators himself and bring them over and donate them to hospitals here. Do you think people at the CDC couldn't have been making those calls? I don't believe that for a second.

If they're so incompetent that they couldn't get PPE and/or ventilators for us THAT ARE OUT THERE ARE AVAILABLE then they aren't doing their jobs. Period.

Trump, Bannon, Miller tried to gut government agencies - staffing and funding. Guess what? It worked.

And guess what? Crappy leadership (incl HHS) ends in crappy results. How much were they “allowed” to purchase? Sounds like Trump is shopping around for deals himself (against the states).

You went on a cruise this month? LOL.

Yes. And I'm alive to tell about it!

This information was just broadcast on MSNBC. They interviewed two passengers on the ship who said they went on the cruise because Florida's governor said "people should go on with their lives" and President Trump said, "This will be over soon" (paraphrasing the interview content).

Read the article! The cruise began in Argentina and was supposed to end in Chile-it had nothing to do with Florida, the governor or the President!

Idiot, that information came from a reporter WHO INTERVIEWED SOMEONE CURRENTLY ON THE BOAT. The passenger said that she based her decision to go on the cruise on what she heard from those two politicians.

And the boat IS headed to Florida (though they may not be allowed to dock).

Can you refrain from posting information online when you are DEAD WRONG

Oh, wait, you are a Trump follower, so that is what you people specialize in: spreading misinformation.

READ THE ARTICLE, STUPID! Everything coronavirus related is not related to Florida! Your bias is showing, I get it, you don't like Fl's governor because he is Republican.

I'm not affiliated with either party, but it's not the governor's fault if people went on cruises in other countries, or lick toilet seats or have beers with the neighbors. Sheesh.

I guess you missed the HEADLINE in the sun sentinel article. But no apology is necessary. I find you tiresome to deal with, like a dim bulb or a dull knife.

The ship was trying to get permission to port in Florida and Florida said no. That ship was not originally bound for Florida and really has nothing to do with Florida, the governor of Florida or President Trump. The HEADLINE is BS.

Pence remarks on March 7th at a press briefing. He says to follow CDC guidance, discusses recommendations to stay at home and avoid large crowds.

"And so, for anyone within the sound of my voice, if you are yourself a senior citizen with a serious underlying medical condition or if you have a loved one with a serious underlying medical condition, it is just a good time to practice common sense just to protect your health, the health of your family, and the health of the community."

No.....
On March 7, people knew exactly what was coming. On March 13, they shut our schools down. That entire week before people were on egg shells and some businesses started asking their employees to work from home.

As for cruise ships, that’s when everyone was saying “Who the hell would go on a cruise ship right now???”
I suppose some people don’t pay attention to news or don’t believe what they hear, but they deserve their fate.

Italy was level 3 on 2/27. But at that time South America had posted no COVID. It must have been a very long cruise if it hasn’t finished by now.

Ummm what? Diamond Princess was already a huge fiasco by the end of February. Also at the end of February, there was evidence of community spread in the States as well as many other countries outside of China. My kids' school closed two days later. I was certainly contemplating cancelling my domestic travel plans for later in March by then and certainly wouldn't have gotten on a cruise!

Just stop it. We boarded our cruise just fine, had an amazing week and our teenagers (gasp!!!) held down the fort at home all by themselves.

How does it make you feel to read that everyone on this thread would have no sympathy if you were dying now because you did that.

This pandemic is bringing the lord of the flies types in our culture
