Why are people still traveling? We've been hearing about Covid since January.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.... the ship's captain and owners washed their hands of any responsibility or decision.

It's a no win situation. But the right thing to do is let them dock and take every precautionary measure.

I personally would not leave people to die on the high seas either, there are safe ways to handle this situauion if you use your mind...

Yeah, that was a bad move!

Australian Police Launch Criminal Probe Over Coronavirus Outbreak on Cruise ShipAustralian police launched a criminal investigation into whether staff of a cruise ship that docked in Sydney misled authorities about a coronavirus outbreak among passengers and crew aboard. I would. Wouldn’t you? Well certainly odd that it docked and unloaded people in the dark. These Cruise ships are the worst. They dodge taxes by flying under foreign flags and then spread Trumps Dem Hoax virus all over planet. TrumpGenocide 25thAmendmentNow TrumpOwnEveryDeath And here's where the panic set in. There were no cases of the virus, which could've really caused a riot on board. All this said, people are scared and aren't acting rationally, so I'd go easy.

2 Coral Princess cruise passengers dead as ship with coronavirus cases docks in MiamiA Princess Cruises ship carrying at least a dozen people on board who have tested positive for COVID-19 will be docking at Port Miami Saturday. Ya and they sent Canadians back to Canada carrying the bloody virus.....thanks Trudeau but no thanks If they don’t get them off the ship and force quarantine in a hotel, they are stupid. If they dock and let ppl disperse, they are being criminal. Australia forces ppl into hotel for 2 weeks the minute they land on soil. They’ve had 30 deaths. 30. bannerite If everyone wants to come to Fla. from the NY area & from Cruise Ships, I'm just waiting for Natl media to report how full our hospitals are. They are filling....with people that don't belong here! Not to mention exhausting our police/medical personnel from helping locals.

Cruise ship with passengers who tested positive for coronavirus docks in FloridaThe Coral Princess cruise ship, which has at least 12 people with coronavirus on board, arrived at Port Miami on Saturday morning after initially being blocked from docking after the US Coast Guard determined the ship lacked a plan for disembarking. Thank you President Trump thank you Remember when Canada took in stranded US planes on 9/11, sent troops to die alongside US soldiers in Afghanistan, sent help to New Orleans after Katrina? Because Donald Trump and De Santiago clearly don’t. This ship should have been allow to dock along time ago! America has always helped others in need including our own & we should never forget that, for the day we do. Then we are have no right to call ourselves Americas & Lady Liberty is then nothing more then a big statue.
