What do you think about the 2 cruise ships docked in Florida? So many sick people will be in Florida, although I understand most will be treated on the ships, but what about those on land who do not show symptoms yet. They will spread the virus. There are many elderly people in Florida. Kind of scary.
Take care

Hi,
I’m not against the 2 ships docking. They will all get sick and dye if someone does not let them dock. The 13 critical passengers will be transported to Florida Hospitals and the governor checked the capacity of the hospitals first. All passengers will be tested and cleared. Florida residents who are cleared will go home. For other passengers who are foreign nationals who are cleared they will be transported by bus to Canada or to airports .I think this is being arranged by the cruise ships. They will not be roaming around in Florida. I’m not sure how the foreign nationals who have tested positive but are not critical will be handled but they won’t be allowed to enter Florida. I don’t know how this will play out if their countries won’t admit them. Hopefully there are not that many foreign nationals who test positive. I think I have all this right and so far it’s up to date.

There are many cruise ships in the Pacific at the moment. There are six in Australian waters refusing to leave. They propose to fly passengers needing hospital care to mainland. In New Zealand passengers on a cruise were not allowed to disembark. Precisely for the reason you fear in Florida that they will spread the virus. Of course if there are your own citizens aboard that is another matter, but here they would be screened and have to produce a self isolation plan or be quarantined. Tough all round.
