cruise ship - adults in good health - but all dependent on Japan, a sovereign nation with its own sovereign waters. (I think, that Japan law precludes any forced quarantine of foreign nationals - so keep them offshore - might want to check that tho)
Katrina is pecan pie compared to this. Trump restricted travel, instituted quarantines, and got the first rescue plane on the tarmac Jan 28, within 5 days of Jan 23 Wuhan quarantine. Have fun trying to toss mud onto Trump, it ain’t gonna stick.
Lots of elderly on the cruise ship. Americans begging the US to evacuate them. Gradually more and more diagnosed while pickling in that offshore petrie dish.
Trump has overall likely done more sooner than another president would have done, but clearly the good times and prosperity of his presidency is at risk here with reelection upcoming.
If you don’t see that, you’re not paying attention.
