You see, that is the issue. They ARE presenting great risk to the "public". If there was an easy way, without a lot of people being exposed to those already sick, and those sick and not yet showing symptoms, than no one would be upset. I think it is up to the cruise ship to have their people on board to drive them home. ….Then burn the car? I will never get over how I feel that cruise ships are big Petri dishes with their holding tanks of water festering in dark wet holds. How many times here in Florida have we seen neighbors and friends returning from cruises with stomach viruses? There is no simple answer to anything right now Jon. I will always remember the school nurse in Junior High teaching us just how infectious, infection disease is. This bug will kill. It has killed. It will continue to kill.
