This case is of obvious interest to the Space Coast, home to Port Canaveral. From the shores of Cape Canaveral / Cocoa Beach, one can observe cruise ships sitting at anchor a few miles out. And occasionally you will see them docked at the Port. I presume they stay offshore to avoid racking up dock fees and come in occasionally for provisions.

I am not alone in calling the CDC’s guidelines “capricious and arbitrary,” certainly in application of their disease control powers. If the CDC is so worried about the possible entry of infected people into this country, then why are they placing their boot on the neck of the cruise lines, who have presented comprehensive plans and protocols. Yet they leave our southern border completely uncontrolled??? There’s your arbitrary. The CDC doesn’t seem to give a rat’s arse about introducing thousands upon thousands of illegal entrants who have tested positive to travel to every corner of the US. But allow a passenger who has been screened and tested to step foot on the dock? Now there’s a place to draw a line in the sand! /s
