Well, there's a textbook case of how not to do things.

I defended keeping the people on the Cruise Ship, but I honestly
thought the experts would make wise decisions and prevent what has
taken place.

What a screw-up.

Not since obama imported active Ebola cases...

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

Some of the cruise line slogans need to be reworked.

Experience the magic onboard.

We put the romance back into cruising.

You’ll love where we take you.

We live it. You’ll love it.

This is way more than a cruise.

The Celebrity treatment.

A different kind of cruise.

[Leaning Right]

Who in their right mind would sign up for a cruise these days? I wouldn’t go even if the cabins were free.

Perhaps the older and/or larger cruise ships need redesigning or retiring. Some newer ships iirc have atriums.

IMHO. Send the cruise ship out to sea and sink it before these 40 can reproduce!

But the good news is that your cruise has been extended for an extra 3 weeks for free.

Is anyone catch the fact that Cambodia cruise liner had
a infected American on board and Malaysia stopped her travels .
That probable means that boat had more infected people on board that Cambodia just unleashed on the world .
How many have jumped on planes by now and infected planes loads and heading back here .
The DR on that boat either lied or was a idiot .
That woman was an American she caught on that ship from someone else!
We need to stop them from flying back here.

Wait till virus hits one of our US Navy ships. 6000 sailors on an aircraft carrier and no one to drive the thing because they are in their bunks puking up their toes. If this hits one of our subs there isnt enough beds for them to sleep since they hot bunk. 3 sailors use the same bed to save space in a rotating shift.

[ronnie raygun]

Americans should have been removed and housed nearby to monitor, not left on the virus ship to eventually be infected

Wondering if any of the 40 Americans are of Asian descent since Asians from reports are more susceptible than Caucasians?
