Why are people still going on cruises!!
Laura_R_chung Glad you’re keeping an eye on the cruise ships.

Laura_R_chung Should be enforced for self isolation for 14days
Laura_R_chung Wish them well . Sad to see the worst of humanity coming out when people wish them harm just because they took a cruise . They are victims too
Laura_R_chung yeeeeeet 🛳
Laura_R_chung Leave them at sea, if they’re stupid enough to take a cruise in the current climate.
