It's like they don't care that senior citizens with other illnesses are dying

[malaise]

of the virus. They're trying to suggest that it's the other diseases that are killing them.

De Santis, mother's boy, Rubio and Scott don't care about old people.
I hope the Con loving Fux loving seniors in Florida and elsewhere are listening carefully.

1. Does anyone have info

as to where that Cruise Ship with 3700 plus crew ended up last night?

[Yonnie3]

2. Grand Princess is still out in the Pacific Ocean

I just checked its position with https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:-123.5/centery:37.4/zoom


Its about 40 nautical miles from San Francisco

[Wellstone ruled]

8. So it has about four hours

before Breakwater.

[Yonnie3]

11. It has been doing ovals in that area for at least a day n/t

[Wellstone ruled]

14. Okay,

so they have to get Buses in place in order to move almost 5000 people into quarantine. That means,some 950 buss loads. Plus luggage. As some one who did Bus Scheduling at one time,what a nightmare. Can not fathom driving a Road Coach with a Haz Mat Suit on,it gets ugly just wearing a Jacket.

[magicarpet]

17. Thems driverless busses ready for the road yet ?

Fire up one of those.

[Yonnie3]

29. The ship has moved toward shore but stopped.

I checked back to see if it was moving in and see that it has moved to about 20 nautical miles from the Bay Bridge and stopped. It is rendezvousing with Miss Tammy. I don't know what they are doing. Could be resupply or personnel going on board. There was a similar meet up with the Coast Guard vessel Tern a day or two ago.

Miss Tammy is described as an:

Offshore Support Vessel - Crewboat / Supply / Utility Vessel
Passenger Capacity of 54
Load capacity of 26 short tons

It is 1/10 the length of the cruise ship.

[Wellstone ruled]

30. As per NBC News.

One passenger needed to be evacuated because of a major health issue.

This Ship will come in after dark if it berths in Oakland of Frisco. Most likely this ship is being kept out of Telescope as well as drone range.

Remember,we are dealing with a Mega Paranoid POS in the White House.

[Yonnie3]

38. I checked on the ship again. It has met up with Miss Tammy again 24 hrs later. n/t

[malaise]

3. I don't kow but I sincerely hope the confined passengers spare a minute

to think about the little children from Latin America who are locked up in cages. Just wait for the virus to reach those kids.

Don the Con cried wolf with his caravans - his lies have caught up with him and there is no way out this time.
Still his defenders in Florida are now counting the costs of cancellations all over the state. Tourism is fucked, the cruise ship business is fucked and so is spring break.
Let's see who jumps ship first - lil Marco?

[getagrip_already]

4. or the prison population......

Not that murica will care if a bunch of con's die from neglect, but guards and staff will start dropping out due to illness and people are gonna start dying locked down in place.

[malaise]

9. Good point

[Hekate]

19. Actually, you don't have to be a gajillionaire or a Repub to take a cruise...

Just someone fortunate enough to have some savings (or a credit card) and maybe a bucket list. I've just had other priorities -- and frankly, the bigger those things have gotten, the less appeal they've had for both myself and my husband. Suffice it to say, tho, that over the decades we've known quite a few folks of modest means who've gone to sea.

>Sigh< I read today that the passengers in question are getting more than a little stir-crazy, and the ones who've tested positive are completely stuck in their cabins. The still-healthy ones have another glass of wine -- and trash Trump. He has no friends there. They are prisoners of his malicious incompetence, and they could die because of it.

As for the children in cages -- Goddess Mother of All, this is surely one of the most shameful episodes in our entire checkered history. All I can do is send a other donation to the groups trying to get them back to their Mami and Papi.

All the best to you, Malaise.

[malaise]

21. I have friends who lose going on these cruise ship tours

and none of them are wealthy.
That said many of the Con's supporters aren't rich and have never given a thought to these locked up kids. They may want to think about them while they are in confinement (under much better conditions).

[GulfCoast66]

5. The irony is that their biggest block of supporters

Are old white people. Beating the drum that it is only old people seem counterintuitive.

[malaise]

6. That is my point precisely

and we need to nail it home to said seniors and their families

[hamsterjill]

23. But please remember not everyone fits into one category.

What you say is true but there’s always an exception. I am old and white and as liberal as it comes. Trust me, I cannot understand why anyone my age would vote for a Republican - ever!

[GulfCoast66]

25. Oh no. I did not mean to imply all older white people

Support him. Not at all. Hell, I’m no spring chicken myself.

But older whites are his largest support group.

[hamsterjill]

31. I know, and I'm cool with your post.

Your post is accurate, no explanation needed. I just like to generally remind that some of us are embarrassed about the rest of our age group.

Peace.

[bitterross]

28. Right? They're letting their base die.

Old white people are the core of their base. You'd think they might be concerned about that. Maybe they just want them off the Social Security rolls.

[Hekate]

7. Of course they don't care. It's not their Nana in the old folks home, is it?

On the other hand, there sure are a lot of silver-haired GOP Senators.

[malaise]

10. Has Moscow Mitch been tested?

[Brainfodder]

15. For rabies, an actual heart, etc etc.?

That man's pouch should be thoroughly investigated, I think he's hiding 400ish laws in there too?

[malaise]

16. laws or judges?

[Brainfodder]

18. The less I think about him the better on second thought?

[Hekate]

20. The kinds of things I keep wishing on him are bad karma for me...

....but I can't seem to spiritually rise above it, if you know what I mean.

[malaise]

22. I know exactly what you mean

I am just as guilty.

[lastlib]

35. Recall the GOPee healthcare plan--

(aka GOPeeDon'tCare): 1) Don't get sick; 2) If you get sick, please die quickly at your own expense.

[MiniMe]

12. It saves them money on Medicare

At least that is probably what they are thinking

[malaise]

13. We need to let the seniors know

[Delphinus]

24. That is

*EXACTLY* what I said to my husband when I listened to the news with him this morning at 11.

[malaise]

32. It is stunning

Anything but admit that they messed up big time. They are now blaming the victims

[dewsgirl]

26. I have followed every ugly, scary twist of this nightmare.

A guy that lives in the Red Zone in Italy, brought up a horrifying policy they are considering as far as ICU admittance goes, I pray it was a rumor.

[malaise]

33. What's that?

It's going to get worse

[dewsgirl]

34. It was about hospital admittance based on age, because

they can't save everyone. I saw it from another source as well, not long ago.,
Chilled me to my bones.
Unfortunately much worse, I believe.

[malaise]

36. Good grief

[dewsgirl]

37. I know. In the past month, I have seen some truly horrible things,

stuff I would have wrote off as fake and moved on in a second before. It just gets worse, every single hour. 😭

[Faux pas]

27. They don't care

when's everybody going to get it!
