You can tell from the article the CDC sill wants to cripple the Cruise industry, but has ben frustrated by the White House.

Petri dishes.
I find it odd that the CDC has any say in this at all. Shouldn’t this be the pervue of state governors?
It would seem to me that if governor Coumo, Desantis, Abott or Newsom are allowed to open or close the rest of their states then the Cruise industry would in that state would be subject to their control.
Why can non-floating casinos in Las Vegas open but floating ones can’t?
I say use them as an experiment. Offer Every passenger an all paid for cruise to the Caribbean, but the catch is that each passenger that wants to cruise, has to take hydroxychloquine and a Z pack every day they are on the cruise. Hand it out at dinner and make sure they take it. If they all take it and get off the crusie with no symptoms or deaths, boom! Proof it works. Hell I’d sign up for that in a heart beat!
Imagine if people really were dying from this?
What’s the status of the cruise industry in other nations/markets? Anything going on in the Med?
Hallelujah!
Please resign like yesterday.

I wish they would stop using this stupid language.
Look, I follow the science. The science says that indoor crowding, choir practice, travel on cruise ships, dining in restaurants, and not wearing masks all increase the transmission of SARS CoV 2.
The questions after that, though, are not science questions, they are political questions.
Because no one in a position of authority has said, either, "Our policy is to eliminate new cases of SARS CoV 2 infection by doing any and all things necessary", OR, "Look, the virus is going to circulate, it's not that bad, go about our lives and deal with it" we are stuck with the idiotic "I follow the science" trope.
THE SCIENCE DOES NOT TELL LEADERS WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS DISEASE.
If Ebola were spreading like SARS CoV 2, we would not be having this discussion.
It is called Sturmabteilung. What ever happened to people making their own decisions? What ever happened to personal responsibility? What ever happened to the Bill of Rights? Kristallnacht is coming to a city near you soon!
Make an excuse, make a plan, carry it out to see if the sheep will follow. If they do you can cast them aside when their usefulness is exhausted.
"The cruise industry in the United States remains under a No Sail Order through October 31, the CDC [??? emphasis added] said in a somewhat controversial statement."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Patriots are reminded that the Founding States made the first numbered clauses in the Constitution, Sections 1-3 of Article I, evidently a good place to hide these clauses from Congress (sarc), to clarify that all federal legislative powers are vested in the elected members of Congress, not in the executive or legislative branches, or in so-called “federal regulatory agencies” like the EPA, IRS, or CDC in this example, constitutionally undefined federal agencies run by non-elected bureaucrats.
In fact, the Founding States had expressly constitutionally limited the terms of House members to two years partly to give legal citizen voters the effective power to “impeach and remove” representatives who like to raise taxes (1.7.1) from power in the next, “right around the corner" election.
H O W E V E R…
Patriots are now being oppressed under the boots of post-17th Amendment ratification career lawmakers who have scandalously unconstitutionally weakened effective voter power to “impeach and remove” corrupt House members by unconstitutionally front-ending federal legislative powers with non-elected bureaucrats, much of those so-called federal legislative powers actually stolen state powers.
After all, its questionable if Congress and POTUS would have extended a no sail order this close to election day imo. (Two-term career representatives would probably want to avoid taking responsibility.)
The remedy for unconstitutionally big federal government…
Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats home in November!
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.
I don’t see any problem with voting Republican ticket for 2020 elections.
Insights welcome.
Today was the day we were supposed to be heading out to take the RC Grandeur up the coast to Nova Scotia. My siblings and mom. She’s 86 and just wanted to do a cruise with her kids. We were going to surprise her with the upgraded suite with the piano. Had dreams of having our Happy Hour with our brother’s beautiful piano playing. C’est la vie. :)
the 8th cruise cancelled for me...Nov 28...
My next one is in Jan...

The Meeting of the CDC and Pres. Trump is today-Friday.
Pres. Trump has just come down with Covid-19 and it certainly will complicate the Cruise line shutdown talks.
As I say in my tagline: "It's COVID 2020 - The Events, not us, are in charge now."
We will have to see how this plays out now. -Tom
