I agree. If any of the cruise lines are registered in the US they should participate in the bailout. Having been on a bunch of cruises in the past few years, I'd bet less than 5% of the workers are American citizens. Buffalo now has (at least) two cases in my hospitals ICU. The storm is coming. |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18756 | I might pay to go on a cruise, where everyone gets pretested multiple times and then we stay out for a couple months letting no one new onboard. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Being on a cruise for months with no ports (because the virus could be there) would be bad. |

| ams288 Member since: Apr 21, 2016 Threads: 29 Posts: 12508 | LOLOLOL The Trump Campaign has sent a cease and desist letter to TV stations airing this ad. Dummies! Have they never heard of the Streisand effect?! https://assets.donaldjtrump.com/2017/web/hero_images/Redacted_PUSA_Letter.pdf “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

I love this cease & desist letter! It's a masterpiece. They're disputing the context of Trump's use of the word "hoax" in South Carolina on Feb 28. That's the hill they want to die on? Even if the critics took the word "hoax" out of context, (they didn't) the full quote from Feb 28 ends with Trump bragging about only having 15 cases of coronavirus, which is just as damning. Less than 1 month later... and we have 950 deaths. Your Streisand effect analogy is very apt. I don't watch much live TV, so I wouldn't have seen it were it not for the cease & desist letter. |

Wouldn't be surprised if most of our Navy has canceled all shore leave for months for ships required to patrol. I figure I can last a trip like the old sailing ships used to make. As long as I don't get scurvy. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

It infected 1.4 billion people worldwide and killed between 152,000-575,000. It primarily affected children and young adults. 80% of the deaths were in people younger than 65. There is still no vaccine for it. This is Schumer in 2009, bragging about cutting the funding to fight it: |
