The Princess ship that was previously quarranteened and (obviously) released now has 21 positive tests for the virus 2 passengers and 19 crew members and they haven't finished testing. The ship is off shore in California. This just heard on the TV news from an interview with the CDC.
One has to ask why this ship took on more passengers. It also makes me wonder about that Dominican Republic ship in SXM that they removed passangers from and few back to DR plus flew by charter other in to catch the same ship.
The CDC also said it's hoping to make tests available to physicians very soon.
President Trump said he doesn't want to remove the people from the Princess ship because it would add to US numbers of cases. To me it's worse to leave them all on board in close quarters. But I'm not meaning to be political here.

CDC just said 9 hundred thousand test kits sent out yesterday, 2 hundred thousand sent today and 100 thousand expected to go out this weekend. This is a swab test.

Sorry?? The Princess ship that was previously quarantined was the DIAMOND Princess. The current ship is the Grand Princess. Totally different ship, totally different area of the world.
Respectfully, pay attention people.

So much misinformation circulating on the internet and sometimes this forum. This is a classic example.

I apologize. I read the ticker tape at the bottom of a news report and I figured they knew what they were talking about. I won't assume anymore. In fact no reason to post anymore unless I see it first hand.

RonDon--you probably misinterpreted what you saw, as it might have said something like "Princess ship has corona virus again". Or, they just flat got it wrong. A good percentage of news reports have been wrong with regard to this thing, from the very beginning..

I have been following these two sisters that have been live streaming on youtube. They were on the Grand Princess cruise ship that finally docked in Oakland, California. They are now off the ship and in a bus without ever being TESTED. This is so irresponsible and people are spreading this on the bus. I will get off my soapbox now!
