Please try to explain how 20 cases will be a meaningful difference in the overall population.  Because it is just that simple.

They will NEVER let a ship dock with 20 cases... first of all if there are 20 documented cases, there are 50 undocumented cases.

second, if everyone gets off the ship and undocumented , asymptomatic folk get off the ship, each one becomes a hotspot to give it to 10 of their friends and family. so if there are 20 documented, and 30 undocumented, the 30 asymptomatic each gives it to 10 more so thats 300 and they give it to their friends and family....

Nope.  Still not a reason.  Even 50 cases is barely 2% of recent daily totals.  Insignificant.  You can make the same argument about the theme parks, malls, restaurants or grocery stores.  People are still getting infected.  Whether it happens on a a cruise ship or resort hotel doesn't matter.

 

Cases attributed to cruising will be insignificant in the general population and indistinguishable from other activities.

Completely irrelevant to this discussion.  They're stuck because of travel restrictions often imposed by their home countries and panic based guidance issued by the CDC.  100% Governments' fault.

I would say hftmrock has answered very well the question you posed, despite your protestation. Interestingly, in the end you contradict your weak argument by stating in the final post quoted above '......panic guidance issued by the CDC.....'

 

Ultimately, it matters not what you think....what I or anyone else thinks....CDC will rule the waves around the USofA, whether that is viewed as 'panic guidance' or care of health and borders guidance.

Then by all means ignore it.

Article in today’s FT that makes the points I was making about how they react to 50 cases per day while Florida continues to ignore 2,500 per day...

 

This is how you win and get back to cruising
