Two articles on the HA MS Zaandam and her sister ship Rotterdam off Panama.

Looks like Panama has allowed the boat to transit. Risky as the canal pilots have to wear hazmat suits to make the passage.

They have allowed “healthy” passengers to switch to the Rotterdam which will sail to San Diego to disembark. Priority for transfer was given to those over 70 with an inside cabin.

Haven’t they read that healthy looking, asymptomatics spread the virus exceedingly well. They are going to end up with two ships infected.

Fort Lauderdale not exactly thrilled with the prospect of their arrival as Broward County, FL already a hot spot.

Why not have both ships haul [censored] to San Diego. They have already housed quarantines before at MCAS Miramar. Is this so HA can get their boat in position for next cruise?

Never been censored before but i thought the use of haulass was appropriate.
