The Carnival Panorama was in the process of disembarking passengers this morning when they stopped. A sick passenger is now at the hospital getting tested. No one on, no one off. ( Unclear if anyone actually left before it was stopped). That began at 6:30 this morning. Luggage was eventually brought back to the passengers rooms. Many have missed their flights.
The passengers waiting to embark are stuck off the ship with nowhere to really go and no answer to what may happen to their cruise. They don't even know if they should get a hotel room.
This is a mess. Carnival owns Princess.
Honestly, I am at the point where if I see someone out and about and they sneeze, or blow their nose, I believe they may have the virus. I think it is all over the place now. It might have happened eventually, but I blame the CDC for their total imbecilic way of handling this virus the past 6 weeks. NO excuses for ONLY ALLOWING testing for people from Wuhan, not all China at the beginning. NONE! NO excuses for just recently adding other countries to the mix. No excuses for not having the test kits. No excuses for not properly preparing the country. NO excuses for not providing proper training and procedures for people greeting the returned Wuhan Americans.
We know our president is incompetent. We deserved competency from our CDC.
It is a travesty. People have died because of their inaction. We have only just begun. We are soon going to enter a time when hospitals are over flowing with ill people and I doubt we have any plan we can implement if that occurs. We still have normal flu cases which require people to be hospitalized on vents.
if you was in Italy you wouldn’t have to worry about a wine stash. Wine was flowing from faucets for a couple of hours.
He walked in like my teenage son when I make him go places he does not want to be. He is spreading so much information and I don’t understand why? This is a serious thing not one of his rallies. I don’t watch Fox News I wonder if they are helping him with this misinformation that he is spreading?
I tend to agree with that. The woman in Floyd County (12 miles from me) first went to drs on 2-29-20... she was treated and sent home... went back again.. and was again sent home...all without being tested.. went again.. and now she has it and is in a negative pressure isolation room and "is not threat to anyone in the hospital" .. well.. maybe not now.. but.. what about all the people she came in contact with and her family members came in contact with PRIOR to being diagnosed???? Oh.. and she is a presumptive case...she had recently made a trip to Washington DC prior to becoming ill so they are speculating that is the source of vectoring. We have 3 new cases here today. The school children from the boy diagnosed with father had attended class at a private school.. one of his classmates is now sick... it's not if.. it's when. I think the lack of availability for testing is coming from Impotus...who wants to "keep the numbers down".... don't think that is going to happen. The next two months are gong to be hectic.
On a litter note about the wine in Northern Italian
Now, was this really a "MALFUNCTION" or was this a gift to the town people who are dealing with the bad Covid-19 outbreak in Northern Italy?
If one must quarantine, that is the way to do it I guess ha ha!
I know there must be a ton of "end of times" jokes circulating now too.
Just how does a winery malfunction like that even happen and does anyone know if a chocolate factory is nearby making hot fudge?
OMG what is wrong with these people. People believe them, I don’t know why, but they do. Thank god most of us believe in this virus and are trying to get what we need. There is no alcohol, disinfecting wipes, aloe to be found. What are his supporters doing? Oh wait look at this:

I think that is a reasonable assumption. Given how virulent it is, even when no symptoms, it is too late -- there is no containing it at this point and it's going to spread like wildfire.
Now, if everyone could get enough surgical masks to wear for about a month, and stay home once symptoms start, that could help matters a bit. The surgical masks would keep the infected from spreading the virus so easily.
I don'y know which country I read this for, perhaps one of our states in the US, but they have started asking medical workers NOT to self quarantine for 14 days if around someone who had the virus, only if they get symptoms. They realized they will be running low on staff if they do that. They will run out of first responders too.
I think if this gets more severe, that will start to happen many places.
Thanks to our community and lots of helpful posts on this site, we are prepared to stay home as much as possible. However, I worry about the wine stash. Do we have enough? I wish I had gone to the cannabis store, too. Sorry. Just keeping it real. This is a public service announcement to those who still have time to make those purchases.
Love you Bluebelle!!! I've got wine, vodka, tequila, cannabis (as tincture form), and plenty of chocolate (which btw can help a cough!). You probably still have time to get cannabis delivered (they do that here in CA, not sure about WA?).
Hahahaha! My mental health went out to lunch and still hasn't returned!
You two are both over the edge and as soon as I return I'm joining the fun and I barely drink. But desperate times call for necessary measures!
My hubby (a recovering addict), has long held the notion that high blood alcohol levels prevent illness. He says when he was drunk he never got sick with a virus. Makes sense. So Tito's - not for external application so much as internal LMAO!
“This is a serious thing not one of his rallies. I don’t watch Fox News I wonder if they are helping him with this misinformation that he is spreading? “
Im still not speaking to my sister over the 2016 election and her crazy ass ways of thinking. My brother said she is calling the Coronavirus a “cold.” Her husband, my brother in law, lives in a long term facility because of MS. ITS THE SAME COMPANY WHERE ALL THOSE PEOPLE IN WA HAVE DIED, BUT HE IS IN IDAHO. He’s going on 78. Will it take trump supporters dying to realize they’ve been lied to?

Horrible Cruise news day.
The Ruby Princess in Australia let people disembark but also had some major health screening. Not sure if everyone was let off. Not body has been allowed on today and no word to passengers waiting to board.
The Royal Princess canceled their cruise late tonight due to a crew member being transferred form the Grand to the Royal.
The Grand is floating off the coast of California where 21 people ( 19 crew, 2 passengers) tested positive. Is expected to dock...somewhere in a few days to do...who knows what with passengers.
The Carnival Panorama is delaying the sailing of their next cruise at least a day due to "health" reasons. Passengers still on board from last cruise and are not allowed to leave.
A river boat in Egypt is quarantined with 33 new cases of Covid-19.
Wasn’t there a prediction that the countries would have to work together because of a global crisis?
Also, I spoken to a “friend” sticking with trump because his 401k has risen so much. Isn’t this virus telling people we are all vulnerable, no one is better than another, no matter how much money they have?
We’ve been losing loads of money in the stock market my partner inherited. I don’t want to lose it all, of course, but it might be our sacrifice to help wake up people. This isn’t going away anytime soon.
