The cruise line operator Royal Caribbean has said it will refuse any passengers with Chinese, Hong Kong or Macao passports, regardless of when they were last in China.
The remarkable statement comes after reports that about two dozen passengers aboard a cruise ship that docked in Bayonne, New Jersey, on Friday morning were screened for coronavirus and four were sent to a local hospital for further screening.

Read the linked article, but that is what it seems like, to me.

The #coronavirus epidemic highlights the over-dependence of our companies on one country, #China, that is both unreliable and hostile to America. We must, as a national priority, manufacture at or close to home. #ProximityManufacturing
Senator Tom Cotton (R) doesn’t buy the ‘started in a seafood market’ theory:

only 2 dozen of the passenegers from the whole ship were screened?
I just bought a new cellphone...
Never mind, it’s a Samsung...
can you blame them? these lines don’t have dozens of ships and taking one or two out, cripples them for, what, a month?
Can’t say I blame them for instituting this policy, given the extreme liability involved with allowing those people to board their cruise ships.
Who in the world would take a cruise NOW? Everyone knows that cruise ships are floating Petri dishes. A tummy virus is one thing, but DEATH is another.
I’d be more concerned with where these people have been that their actual citizenship; the US has given citizenship to plenty of Red Chinese.
Exactly. Who cares what their nationality is.
What's important is to bar people from entering if they've recently been to the host country of the virus.
The globalist have done a good job erasing any significance to “citizenship”; how many “Americans” seized in foreign countries actually originated there anyway?
