Florida has a real problem. Look at hospital capacity dropping as well. Palm Beach Hospital for example just reached ICU bed capacity. https://bocanewsnow.com/2020/06/17/coronavirus-palm-beach-area-hospital-at-icu-bed-capacity/ I’m not debating the fact that FL cases are spiking, but this Rebekah Jones story is false. She is a data entry person, not a scientist. The database is “her work” as much as a cashier invented the cash register she is typing on. Fake news re Rebecca, who incidentally has a criminal history that was prosecuted in Louisiana after she took the job in FL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harkinmr Posted June 19, 2020 #155 Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) Just now. Voluntary suspension of sailing through September 15th. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/19/cruise-lines-voluntarily-suspend-all-trips-out-of-us-ports-until-sept-15-trade-group-says.html Edited June 19, 2020 by harkinmr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMESCC Posted June 19, 2020 #156 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Well all this talk really is moot because carnival just took off 2 months of more cruises from the schedule. Royal will follow. There will be no cruising for quite some time. I would say not this year at all for the big lines and big ships and I'd say into next year. I'd guess late spring but why would another be changed by then either. It's all just guessing. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCDCA Posted June 19, 2020 #163 Share Posted June 19, 2020 21 hours ago, boatseller said: Look, if you not going to bother with any facts, please stop posting. Florida had the recommended downward trend and we reopened. No one thought that trend would continue, that's ridiculous. Stop lying about CDC recommendations. Business are following them and people are mostly going along. Whether or not they should is a topic for debate. All you're doing is trying to scare/shame people for getting back to life. Not gonna work. I still expect Carnival to resume in August because by then, there will be no legitimate reason to stop them. If people are willing to cruise and accept the risk, let them cruise (that will be an us come September). Cases attributed to cruising will be insignificant compared to the general population. Good prediction on August. LOL 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing we need to learn from is the incompetent leadership of the northeast and some midwest States. We can focus on protecting the 1,000,000 vulnerable people while the other 328,000,000 people get back to life, including cruising. If we had any type of leadership from the Whitehouse instead of daily lies, and just listen to experts we would be in a whole lot of better position than we are now. 15 case that'll be zero soon has turned into over 2 million cases and 120,000 dead in just 3 months. That's the incompetence we have now. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles4515 Posted June 19, 2020 #166 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Good prediction on August. LOL Boatseller also predicted that cruises would begin in August out of Florida because the governor was good friends with the WH occupant and they would overrule the CDC or something like that.

roger001 Posted June 19, 2020 #168 Share Posted June 19, 2020 We’re not going to be cruising for a long, long time. Today’s Newsweek/WHO report gets uglier and uglier.

Now it's predicted to be 200,000 by October. Failure like no other. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
