White House – Seniors Should Avoid Going on Cruises

“If you’re a senior citizen (over 70) with a serious underlying health condition, this would be a good time to practice common sense and to avoid activities including traveling on a cruise line,” Vice President Pence said, adding they were looking to cruise line officials for action, guidance and flexibility with those passengers.

Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar suggested older Americans and those with health problems should avoid crowds “especially in poorly ventilated spaces.”

Speaking on “Fox News Sunday,” Fauci said people with underlying conditions — particularly those who are elderly — should take steps to distance themselves from the risk of infection, including avoiding crowds and long plane trips “and above all don’t get on a cruise ship,” he said.

    All good common sense, and should be considered.

    However we will have to see how the Alphabet news media puts their ‘negative anything Trump’ spin on it.

    Remember Legionnaire’s Disease some years ago?
    As a travel agent for 21+ years, I would recommend that ANYONE taking a cruise ask about the medical emergency facilities aboard a cruise ship one is planning to take, regardless of their age or health. Some ships have excellent medical treatment facilities while others do not.
    I was once aboard a ship that had an OB-GYN as their on-board doctor and was glad nobody had a medical emergency during that cruise.

    Have quit referring to the recent illness outbreak as Coronavirus. From here on out, it’s the Wuhan Flu. After all, ya gotta give credit where credit is due whether China likes it or not.
    Besides – whomever heard of naming a virus after a Mexican beer . . . . . . . . . . .

      That’s…that’s…th th th that’s RACIST! (Well according to MSLSD et. al.) Shame on you J Soden for pointing a finger at the vile, backwards, inept totalitarian communist government that covered up the outbreak. That’s RACIST!

    From elsewhere on the web–

    “Things start to get screwy when you start asking how the Chinese created such a monster as we’re now seeing…? I mean, the Chinese are damned good at stealing technology and ideas, and running with them. They’re not particularly smart thinkers and inventors, as much as thieves. So how did they develop something so new and radical as this on their own???

    The answer is, they didn’t. This virus was created at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill…”

      I knew nothing about this but am not surprised. Not surprised at all. It sounds too much like a conspiracy theory but if true and provable it is pretty damning. The Wuhan lab coincidence seems hardly a coincidence. Thanks RHT, you da man!

      Pie here: As usual Chris the troll trashes the messenger. He should be ashamed of himself, but like all left-wing demagogues he has no shame. *YAWN*

      Even a cursory glance at that blog reveals it to be an extremist conspiracy theory site run by a psychotic racist. What’s wrong with you? You should be ashamed of yourself.

        That is literally all you have been doing to me all night.

          So let me get this straight. I pass along an article without comment. For this, the article and/or my act of posting it is said to be “despicable”, the blog is said to be an “extremist conspiracy theory site” and the blog author to be a “psychotic racist”. Further, there must be something wrong with me and I should be “ashamed”.

          Goodness me. What a temper tantrum.

          It has been my experience that the harder they bash the message and the messenger, the closer you are to the truth.

          • Pie Guevara says:

            Temper tantrum doesn’t even begin to describe the silly Mr. Souza’s spamming troll rampage in the comments section today. He has been positively foaming at the mouth.

            The poor fellow is clearly more than a few fries short of a Happy Meal. Always has been.
