My phone default is to clear the last hour. I knew something was wrong when it cleared so fast. I had to change it to clear all.

I would guess he is not allowed to bash the US Navy and to advocate no sailors on ships.

All I can say is "rah rah sis boom bah".  And, as child of a US Sailor who served in WW2, shame.

And I am the child of a US Sailor who was on a ship heading for Okinawa when Truman ended the war. And it was through the Navy that he met his wife, my  mother, who was a WAVE at the time.

From the Article:

Arnold Donald, the chief executive of Carnival, said in an interview on “Axios on HBO” in mid-March that ships provided a “less risky environment” than being on shore and compared ships to Central Park, saying there is “a lot of natural social distancing.”

He insisted that cruise ships are not to blame for spreading the coronavirus.

 

Wow

Indeed.

 

Now he - or perhaps CCL's general counsel - can try selling that same three-legged donkey to Congress.
