You do you think cruise ships should be allowed to sail and cruises resume? You can currently get on a packed airline, stay in a hotel, visit Disney World and Six Flags, ride a subway, but cruises are still not allowed to sail.
The CDC is receiving comments from the general public for two more days on their website asking for public participation regarding the restart of cruises.
So far, just under 6,000 comments have submitted to the CDC pertaining to the planning/infrastructure and resumption of passenger operations.
The CDC has 28 different questions that you can respond to including:
How frequently should cruise ship operators test all passengers and crew? What steps should cruise ship operators take to prevent the introduction of COVID-19 onto ships after resuming passenger operations? Should cruise ship operators plan to reduce passenger and crew loads to decrease the risk of transmission on board the ship? Should the cruise line industry immediately cancel cruise voyages if COVID-19 cases are identified on board or after disembarkation? Should cruise ship operators limit shore excursions? The CDC is accepting comment until September 21, 2020.
And when you ask for opinions like the CDC did you can get the ones to suit your agenda. Click below.
I think self serving comments are to be expected in an open comment forum. One would hope the CDC would have some integrity when these comments are considered, one would hope?
Unless I missed it, where is a link to the CDC site where the wife and I can comment ourselves ??
George, the link to the CDC comment is in the Cruise Fever link.
To offset the negative cruisers , I submitted my comment today, mainly criticizing the CDC for getting involved in a business operation.
If you want to comment (one day left) click comment at the top of the page link below:
Thanks for the link Tom. It’s pretty obvious it all changes on Nov 4th.
Both senators from Florida , Marco Rubio and Rick Scott, are trying to get Cruises going again from Florida ASAP, but the establishment bureaucrats in the CDC will try to stall until after the election on NOV. 4 gets resolved. -Tom
CDC got TDS. That is their whole rationale for shutting down businesses such as cruise lines. To hurt the economy and make it harder for Trump to get re-elected.
Agreed.
When Trump shutdown Chinese citizens from coming to this country. there were thousands of American citizens over there for Chinese New Years.
When these American citizens returned the CDC had inadequate testing devices, and this allowed the spreading of the virus throughout this country.
What test kits the CDC had then were defective.
That's one of the reasons I describe the CDC as inept and incompetent. They can't be trusted when it comes to health problems because they have drifted into political agendas like gun control, and being anti-Trump, and anti-Cruise.
IMHO Pres. Trump did the right thing early on, it was the CDC that dropped the ball. -Tom
