US bans cruise ship passengers & crews from flights

[Oxo]

FYI, read this on one of the news feeds.

How can this be enforced?

It is for existing passengers and crew still at sea

This is going all over Facebook as well.  Seems to be misinterpreted as a new standard by many folks, but is intended for the passengers and crews currently on ships.

I can see why people are not reading in the current situation of only ships currently at sea. Very misleading.  Thanks for the info. 

Don't use/read Facebook!

It should also apply to anyone in an assisted living center, nursing home, college dormitory, or soldiers home.

There is a thread on carnival started longer ago, and someone who worked for the govt before says there are words like recommend, and may, words not enforceable. Idk. 

 

Whatever it takes to get everyone off those ships and home sometime. I suspect the hal pax have 2 weeks quarantine that couldnt get off and had symptoms. Not soon.

 

Cdc guidelines. Guidelines, the word even sounds like they are recommendations.

 

3rd paragraph says "it is being recommended "

 

Cdc doesnt write laws.

Correct they don't write laws.  I guess they could issue regulations, but they would have to publish the proposed regulation. Have a public feedback period, etc.  They can't just snap their fingers.

 

I guess the President could issue an executive order though.

They can't even issue regulations.  All they can do is make recommendations.  They do not have the power to enforce anything.
