Happy to see that the author updated the story after it was confirmed TWICE that this was a false positive. The man had diarrhea, not COVID. Yet of course, the media ran wild with scary stories about cruising being unsafe. Unbelievable.

If someone gets sick, we must shut it all down. Because no one has every gotten sick before. Honestly, if the media wasn't constantly piledriving fear into people's minds, no one would have any idea there was a "pandemic."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this article suggest that the first result could be a false positive...said passenger had tested negative twice immediately upon landing.

Articles like this one are becoming annoyingly commonplace. Every time a cruise line has even a single case, out come the "doom and gloom" stories about how awful this is, how the cruise industry just isn't ready, they should have waited, done a better job screening people, blah blah blah. COVID-19 is a fact of life for the time being, something we all just need to acknowledge and accept. But the world hasn't stopped turning, and people have to continue to live their lives, and travel is a part of that. While vaccines are being developed, tested, distributed and administered, it doesn't mean everything else shuts down or is held to a ridiculous 0% positivity standard. Cruises will keep going, some people will get sick, and a tiny fraction will die. A TINY fraction. Meanwhile, people can and should keep going on living, working, shopping, raising families, etc. Let's please leave the scare tactic stories in the tabloid press where they belong.
