White House Cruise Meeting ?

[Ashland]

How do you all think the announcement about Trump & Covid will affect the start up of cruising ?

 

[Missusdubbya]

Badly

[flyguyjake]

I can't imagine the cruise executives would go to the WH now. They don't know yet how many are infected. VP positive? Chiefs of Staff positive? Mitch McConnell? Coney Barrett just met with Mark Meadows, McConnell & VP. This could have wide spread ramifications.

No impact. If the are allowed to restart, the will. 

[jean87510]

Virtual meeting if any.

[cruisegirl1]

I suspect the planned meeting will be canceled.

Maybe if today's meeting is canceled Royal will make their further suspension extension announcement today

or this.

All depends on his symptoms. If he has bad symptoms and is hospitalized there will probably be some serious shutdowns including the CDC DIrector getting his way in extending the no sail order.  If he has mild symptoms resembling a cold (or asymptomatic)  than you can be sure that everything will be opened and fast.

You know that he is not the first head of state to have gotten it?  Nothing changes.......nothing.   He will hang out for 10 more days at home, have press releases, participate in government activities when needed, continue with daily briefings.  This will have no effect on cruises.

yes - hopefully  it will be business as usual but I can't imagine that the White House is allowing many extra meetings or visitors  today. I can see the meeting being postponed a few days, or as others had mentioned, held virtual.

Nothing will change.

[Icesk8rReedy]

Hopefully it will be virtual.  But all those cruise giants travelled to DC already, hope they stay safe and don't get it.

[Gigi11111]

I think the President will do business as usual but virtual meetings. Maybe they will set up the Cruise Giants all virtual.

Right now they say the President and the 1st lady have very minor symptoms if any.

I expect him to be very busy virtually during his quarantine

I doubt there will be any effect on today’s meetings. I doubt the cruise line representatives would have met with Trump anyway (more likely the meeting was with Pence). It was just announced Pence tested negative.

You are 100% spot on correct. This announcement means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things.

As of the last report that I heard, he still has no symptoms.  This presents 3 scenarios:

• This is a false positive
• He has a viral load, but not yet infected. He will be given all those treatments that he has promoted and others have been naysaying. He will sail (word choice intentional) through this and be even more convinced that we really must open up the country.
• He will get very sick and/or die. That would be glorious for the Trump Haters.

I don't really think it will effect the return of cruising.

What's the source of the last report you heard please?

Meeting was with pence right? I doubt its cancelled.

 

That being said this isn't good for travelling if he caught it flying. I see it as a negative to cruises resuming

 

Doctor on news said new strain easier to catch, less severe. Still if its spread more easier even if less severe, I dont see it as a positive for people to want to travel. I know my first reaction was to head to my vitamins and take them. People will worry.

CNN is reporting that he has mild symptoms.

[Plum Happy]

I don't think that they were meeting with the President, they were meeting with the Corona task force, which is with the Vice President who chairs that.

[firefly333]

I think we should wait rather than report conflicting reports of symptoms rooted in politics. Wait for facts.

 

I've been listening since it hit last night. Another reaction I had was his airplane was fitted with same new air filters they are adding to cruise ships. I cant be only one with a niggling worry over the news he might have caught it on air force one. No way to make cruising absolutely safe. Washing my hands wouldnt help if air is infected. I'm glad I got a balcony, still want to cruise.

And Larry kudlow says he sounds good on the phone. He had no symptoms but was tested because someone else tested positive. He was reported asymptomatic.

 

We wouldnt know unless he gives a live conference and we see him with our own eyes.,  At least I want to see him with my own eyes, not hear rumors. I'm hoping to see him live tbh.

 

Since last night I heard 2 doctors say they wouldnt recommend that drug remdisavear.. cant spell it, since he has no symptoms and the drug could have side effects. ... we dont know.

You are the wind beneath our wings just for saying THIS.....thank you.

It will be interesting to see if the cruise meeting even takes place, not knowing how and who the president got the virus from. Seems to risky to bring these people together at this time.
