@imallears Mary and @funcountess
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.

Hi sandytoes14,
The hospitals will be overwhelmed with sick people, and the doctors, nurses will be stressed, and get sick themselves. Just look at New York, and my state of California. Sick patients should be treated on the ships, with the medical care teams going on the ships. So many infected people are walking around spreading the virus, and they do not know it themselves.
In California we are losing law enforcement, fire fighters, and 1st responders on a daily basis.
Containment is the answer, but things are out of hand in the world, mainly because the governments, and world health agencies were too slow to react to a growing crisis in China.
I pay attention to doctor Anthony Fauci, he knows his business.
Hope you are staying in. Stay well
