1. Great....the crew was infecting all the passengers....

2. And now what?

8. The passengers are all going to air force bases to be tested

and quarantined; the crew will quarantine aboard the ship.

4. The crew live in really close, unsanitary quarters. Perfect petri dish. nt

5. A few passengers of the previous cruise on that same ship

have also tested positive. And those thousands of passengers are spread out around the country now. They will be tracking them down to be tested.

[Mrs. Overall]

7. Yes. And the one fatality from CA (he died near Roseville in Placer County) was aboard this ship

on the previous cruise.

6. Just wait until they are able to test everybody on that vessel.

IMO, it's going to be a nightmare.

9. Another thing.

Pence or one of the Task Force members said most of the passengers on this ship are in their sixties, seventies and eighties--in other words, the most vulnerable cohort.

It must be a nightmare on that cruise ship.

10. You couldn't pay me enough to get on a cruise ship right now.

I follow these ship situations on CruiseCritic.com b/c often the onboard passengers post to their forums and you get more current info. You'd be amazed by how many posters are moaning about their cruise being cancelled or re-routed due to CV. They still want to go!

Others are looking forward to cruising bargains being offered to lure people back to the ships.

Good luck to 'em all.

11. Before COVID-19 I wouldn't be caught dead on a cruise ship. Now I'd

Only go on one if I wanted to be dead.

12. My rough math says that's about 40% of those tested.

I cannot for the life of me understand why they only tested 46 out of 3500???

[califootman]

14. They tested those presently (or as of two days ago) displaying COVID-19 symptoms. nt

[spanone]

13. BUT they have only tested 46 people.....fuckers

[Mrs. Overall]

15. Oh no. I didn't know that.

Yes.....fuckers.

[spanone]

16. Yep....so 21 out of 45 is not looking too good for the overall number

Plus the people on the ship heard about the test results from the press conference

Ultimate clusterfuck

17. These ass-covering idiots are going to end up killing us all...
