Cruise Ship Passengers Desperately Plead With FLORIDA to Allow Them In.

WTF! Why is President Trump allowing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to play God and decide who lives and who dies?

Get the f*cking ship into port and get the people off the f*cking ship and quarantine them someplace where they can get proper medical care.

What the [b]HELL[/b] is with these two f*cking idiots?

The [i]Zaandam[/i] has four dead passengers and 179 others with flu-like symptoms.

[quote]In a tweet Monday afternoon, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo thanked the government of Panama for allowing the vessels to sail through the Panama Canal "so that we can safely bring hundreds of #AmericansHome."[/quote]

But...

[quote]"We cannot afford to have people who are not even Floridians dumped into South Florida using up those valuable resources," DeSantis said on Fox News. "We view this as a big, big problem, and we do not want to see people dumped in Southern Florida right now."[/quote]

@JT123 Why is anyone out and about? People are generally idiots.

@Graylight I'm pretty sure people got on that ship before the alarm was sounded about social distancing. It really has not been that long since everyone was living a normal life.
Graylight · 51-55, F
@Peapod Yes. This is likely true. Though why anyone gets on a cruise ship is something I can't figure.
Peapod · 61-69, F
@Graylight I never got the appeal of getting on a cruise ship either.
JeanAnna · F
@Graylight I've been on 5 cruises, loved all of them, but I doubt I'll ever get on another one. They are very enjoyable.
Graylight · 51-55, F
@JeanAnna I can see the appeal, but I'm more a sailboat/small craft kind of person.

(Although, I'd LOVE to do a transatlantic crossing.)
JeanAnna · F
@Graylight I enjoy the small craft too. My son has a speedboat and it's a lot of fun. I didn't think I'd like a cruise either, I can't swim, but the trips we took...Alaska, Carribbean, Hawaii, Bermuda, Bahamas were all great. I would love to do another one, but I doubt that will happen after all that has happened lately.
