[Political Junkie Too]

The last sentence seems to imply the CDC is just indifferent, whereas I think the CDC is deliberately frustrating Cruising for Americans, for political purposes.

My guess is that they are simply suffering from analysis paralysis.

The CDC is afraid to make a decision that could result in another Diamond Princess incident. They might be more afraid of having to house and treat foreign passengers on American soil, unless they open up cruising from American ports to American citizens only.

They are more afraid of the press over such a case, rather than laying the expectation that IF it happens they are ready to handle it.

Either that, or they believe Obama's warning to never underestimate Biden's ability to eff things up.
