Hmmm ... 250 years to late

[Mariner]

OK, this is panic.
But local government could insist on some testing of some, and eval of all passengers and not be unreasonable.

Will Africans carry the same signs? Seems unlikely

[katykelly]

My first thought . Bet they welcome the Islamic horde .

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Yep.

[VTenigma]

I’m really stressed, a nice long cruise to Asia sounds like just the ticket to unwind.

[xp38]

Time to short cruise line stocks.

“Time to short cruise line stocks.”

I missed it...5 weeks ago was perfect. Even now, I don’t think investors have priced-in the psychological damage to the ‘industry’. I expect, by this time next year, all of the large cruise lines to be bankrupt, as it’s hard to make payments on their huge vessels when no one is booking anything.

Similarly, I expect much the same for airlines which fly overseas for much of their market. Domestic airlines may survive, but only if the virus isn’t perceived as exploding here. In any case, unlike cruise ships, airlines will get bailed out as a critical ‘industry’.

I love cruises, but I will never take another one after this coronavirus nightmare.

And when they spurn?

[DannyTN]

You’ll unwind alright.

Medically paralyzed on a ventilator. Not even having to breath on your own. Relaxation like no other.

[fella]

Cruise ships are floating petri-dishes and airliners are flying petri-dishes.

[EinNYC]

On the one hand, they’ve got the coronavirus. On the other hand, Reunion is the site of numerous fatal shark attacks. What a choice!

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Those attacks will stop once the sharks start worrying about the coronavirus.

[Stentor]

I’d throw rocks just because they were Australians.

[SkyPilot]

Really? Why? I love Aussies.

[eartick]

Better way to unwind.

Go to the seediest parts of town at 2am and find an ATM.

Withdraw a box of cash and then just stand around for a few minutes.

Great way to unwind and get some shooting practice

[eartick]

I hate the thought of a cruise and that was before people getting sick and before the Corona con Lima virus

[eartick]

Cruise ships are floating petri-dishes and airliners are flying petri-dishes.

And liberal cities are festering wounds on America's arse
