I agree with you Jason. Absolutely ridiculous to think there will be total isolation within a bubble. Do u mean to tell me that cab drivers, restaurant staff, Pier Park businesses will have NO contact with cruise passengers? I believe the Pier Park is open to the public. Unbelievable. From a health perspective, cruise ships have carried illnesses for many years, including the Norwalk Virus (Norovirus) and others.

It seems to be very unfair to visitors and hospitality businesses that the cruise ship visitors should be treated differently than land based visitors. The government is foolish indeed to think the residents will not be exposed.
