Families of sick cruise ship passengers stuck at PortMiami plead for hospital care...

I guess phony Christian scumbag Gov. DeSantis never heard of the Parable of the Good Samaritan.

Family members of sick passengers still stuck on board the Coral Princess at PortMiami Sunday say their loved ones urgently need hospital care as their health deteriorates.

Five people were transferred to hospitals in Miami and Tampa Saturday after the ship docked in Miami with at least 12 cases of COVID-19 on board. A sixth person, Wilson Maa, 71, waited nearly five hours on board the ship Saturday evening before an ambulance responded to his family’s desperate calls to 9-11. He died later that night at Larkin Community Hospital in Hialeah.

He was the third Coral Princess passenger to die after two passed away on the ship Friday evening. On Sunday morning, more families pleaded with the cruise company and local authorities to get their loved ones off the ship and into hospitals.
