How silly is that given the new spike in cases in China? I'm sure I read it right but --- Avril A lot of the American cruises leave from Florida. Governor Ron De Santos relaxed lockdown too much and Florida is the new epicenter of covid19 with a spike in cases. The CDC in the US won't let them cruise until safe to do so.

The CLIA (the Cruise Line International Assoc) have announced all cruises cancelled until 15th Sept, departing all North American Ports. It's not the CLIAs fault, they are governed by the CDC (Centres for Disease Control and Preventation). The CDC won't give permission for cruise ships to sale but (ironically) they have given the OK for airlines - I kid you not. Don of Don's Family Cruisers, gives quite reliable info and it's worth listening to his rant :- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUWIgGgJMiM Sorry Bertie but I could only watch some of it. I got as far as CDC and I couldn't listen to any more. His monotonous voice is awful. He was like a record on 45 rpm that needed to be on 78. I got the gist though. It's understandable that cruises from America are cancelled until September 15th, their covid cases are bad and rising regardless of what some want you to believe. It's the cruises leaving China I can't understand. Avril Edited June 21, 2020 by Adawn47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact is simple, the airlines refuse to track and trace passenger contacts, on the grounds of cost, thus making it difficult for the Authorities to contain the virus. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/31/business/coronavirus-airlines-contact-tracing-cdc.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read China had 21 new cases in Beijing (sky news) but 100 new cases in total. From 60 days with no cases to now approx 100 new cases it could be a second spike ,and let's be honest they didn't do too well containing the first one. That's why was surprised by the announcement of cruises departing from China. Avril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason many cruise lines will start in China is because they will be the first to open as economy is everything. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeanlyon Posted June 22, 2020 #508 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I read that they have found the virus in sewage water as far back as December in Italy, so who knows where it came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to a doctor in Wuhan who was 'silenced' they had some cases of a coronavirus that they'd not seen before as far back as late October. I don't think we'll ever know the truth.

Avril There was an article in the paper last week about an analysis of satelite pics of Wuhan general hospital (shown in the article) which revealed a sudden increase in the number of cars on the car park in October last year. It was speculated that this could have been a result of Covid-19 over 3 months before China admitted its existence. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8416163/Satellite-photos-hospital-car-park-China-suggests-pandemic-taking-hold-October.html Edited June 22, 2020 by Denarius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
