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.

I live in the Tampa area, Hillsborough County, FL and have followed the news on these two ships coming from Argentina. My heart goes out to those on board. About 14 critically ill patients were taken off the ship and sent to the hospital. Although the manpower, 70 sheriff deputies, paramedics, ambulances were a HUGE drain on the city resources I feel it was a humanitarian issue and the ships had to come in to get care for these folks. Have you heard there is another Carnival cruise ship off the Bahamian coast 1000 people aboard with 12 confirmed cases? I guess that will be the next one but don't know how the hospitals are going to handle the influx.

Hello,
Still rather concerned about the 2 cruise ships docking in Florida. People can test negative for up to 2 weeks, and in some cases longer, and still shead the the virus.
So many seniors in Florida, it can be a recipe for disaster.
I live in California, and it is bad enough here. Many nursing homes in California are full of cov19 cases, and because of the residences age, they do not survive.
I am a strong supporter of closing our ports of entry, until this thing blows over
