Fauci on—just suggested elderly and vulnerable people “consider” not getting on planes or cruise ships.
Ouch.
Ouch.
Yeah, he’s making me really think about my 91 year old father with diabetes and kidney disease, who lives with my sister in Montgomery County, MD, where 3 cases of Coronavirus were announced yesterday. He had MOHS surgery 2 days ago, so he’s got the stress of that, too. Kids in the house. My brother-in-law runs a huge soccerplex with lots of contact with hundreds of people every day.
I’m thinking he should move in with us for a while.
I still havent called NCL but going to and tell them I am elderly and White House said I shouldn’t be on a cruise..please refund my money as I dont want to die on your Alaskan cruise
For those new to these threads, let me explain why Fauci’s comment rated a double ouch:
The virus has a latency period of a couple of weeks. That means _anyone_, repeat _anyone_, one more time _anyone_, could be a carrier and not know it.
They would then spread the disease at the airport, on the plane, at the destination airport, and throughout the destination location.
They could infect dozens of people who infects dozens more who could infect dozens more.
That is a _much_ bigger threat than some older folks catching the disease on _their_ trip.
