Cruise-ship workers suffered from more confirmed cases of Covid-19 than passengers, according to newly released government data, suggesting that a slow, arduous process for repatriating idled crew members increased their exposure to the contagious virus.

Crew members also had more cases of “Covid-like illness” of undetermined cause than passengers, according to the data released Friday to The Wall Street Journal.

CarnivalCruise stock will be $50 as soon as they open up this october. Don't miss out. FOMO

I’ll buy one of their boats if they’re to retire a bunch....

This industry is really doomed until a vaccine happens the question then is if it happens.

There are NO cruises dumbasses this is about the CREWS not the CRUISE. Why are planes at full capacity elbow to elbow for hours on end?

Donald Trump should take a cruise with his whole family.

Hey! remember when they said covid was 10x more infectious but these closed in passengers and crew on these ships, who had weeks of close contact, most weren't infected, remember? remember? yeah? remember?

Anyone going on a cruise right now should just be left out to sea.

The best for the ocean and the planet. This industry should disappear.

I’m sorry, I thought cruise ships were docked.... why is this even a thing?

how is it gonna turn out placing millions of children on buses sending them to school . is this how trump gets revenge for so many people disagreeing with him ?

Why the hell are people still flocking to cruise ships? Is it a 'last vacation' contest?

should have been the first closed and last to open or not

'[..] the world’s largest luxury cruise operator emitted nearly 10 times more sulphur oxide around European coasts than did all 260 million European cars in 2017'

Whoda think that!? Hmm, their large customer base is a lot of .. retired folks. WHO should be avoiding crowds.. retired folks.

Who thought this was a good time to get on one of these?

This article is interesting in a number of ways. One of them is: “More crew members had Covid-like illness of undertermined cause” Khazakistan has apparently been having a lot of a mysterious severe pneumonia which is Covid-like, but does not test positive for Covid.

Ya think?

at least something good

Good! less rapes and human trafficking In my high school, there were 4 separate girls who were raped on cruise ships by cruise staff. Mine was a drugging and a rape. I was 16. They claim international waters and the criminals get to stay on board. My rapist stayed 4 more years

No thanks!

Their living accommodations are terrible and their immigration/citizenship status is exploited by the industry. Lot of money in cruises. They need a union.

STILL?!?

Duh...a no brainer 🇺🇸

Thanks Captain Obvious CaptainObvious

Wait so COVID-19 hits on cruise-ship crews when it's hard?

Melt the cruise ships into bicycles for children. That industry is over.

These Petri dishes of the see have been a concern since before COVID. Not sure why anyone would think it would be fun now.

Why are you stating the obvious

Not only cruise industry as well as entertainment and sports.

Hard to imagine an illness hitting the working classes harder than the leisured....

True....in one of my retweet I suggested that they make those line cruises stuck in the ocean into hospitals. At least their will be space. Just imagine if they put one cruiseship dock in every States and turned them into hospitals. Better than to start rebuilding hospitals.

Who in their right mind would board a cruise ship at this stage? Airplane, OK - 4/5 hour trip at most.

TrumpGate Since he was impeached nothing has changed with the most corrupt president in our history. Please retweet and follow us!
