Whoops our bad...
What about ruining this woman’s vacation—impacting the vacations of everyone on that ship—and needlessly causing a whole lot of expensive uproar with these overreactions?
Just because someone works in a lab where samples are processed does NOT mean they are a risk of infection! People routinely process samples in labs without getting infections—in fact, lab-acquired infections are rare enough to be newsworthy when they occur.
This is what happens when hysteria, not reason, takes over.
I’m sure all the people who flew with Amber Vinson are relieved that she didn’t inconvenience herself.
These days too many think that all they have to do is say, “I’m sorry.” and they think that ends it. Shame and contrition do not seem to be apparent in the apology or after. That is what bothers me these day, the absence of shame and self-loathing for having harmed someone or, in this bungling mess, having harmed so many and terrorizing and damaging the safety and trust of a nation.
I have forever stipulated that the crime is only the beginning of an offense and that it endures and injures beyond the initial act by serving to make all of us less secure and less trusting on one-another.
so how did this issue even start and how did cruise ship even know about it. If self imposed why didn’t the person just self impose not going on thew cruise in the first place. Something is not being explained about this story
I would not be surprised if the story was that the tech would have skipped the cruise, but already had non-refundable tickets, and no one (lab, hospital, CDC) offered to cover the loss. So off they went.
Meanwhile, with ObamaStrain on the loose (and no all-clear possible until next year at the earliest), people are reconsidering their elective travel plans, including cruises. Is this trip necessary?
Cruise ships are notorious for various outbreaks (going back to Legionaires Disease), although usually non-fatal.
On a cruise, you are at risk of exposure from a confined population. You have little alternative if food preparation is suspect. There’s usually no place to evacuate to if a real threat arises. On-board medical is limited. Do any cruise ships have P4 isolation wards?
If I held cruise line stocks, I’d sell sell short.
How about the lab tech, obola and the CDC apologizing for ruining 4000 passengers’ vacations and all the money lost and will be lost by the ship?
“... She and a travel partner were allowed to disembark. “
We gotta STOP this MSM media usage of ‘partner’ everywhere. We know this person was her spouse/husband. Substituting and eliminating traditional wording is only aiding their perverted cause.
‘Partner’ is the kiss of the LGBT crows and must be stopped. COMPLAIN.
I also noted Sunday morning, the MSM coverage I saw was talking about the Belize incident and the return to Galveston.
No mention that Mexico at Cozumel ‘denied the entire ship’ dockage. Crickets.
“Hey Obama, be a MAN - Implement a travel BAN!”
Better to over react and live to tell the tale.. Uhhhh
Than tempt fate and what may blow your way.
