The Grand Princess cruise ship hangs in limbo off the coast of San Francisco after 21 of its passengers and crew members tested positive for the new coronavirus.

...During a tour at the CDC on Friday, President Donald Trump said that the experts he consults, including Vice President Mike Pence, want to take people off the ship. However, Trump said that he didn't want the passengers raising the total case count in the US.

"I like the numbers being where they are. I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn't our fault," Trump said in a Fox News interview.

Both Biden, Sanders and Trump should get a clue -- stop the massive rallies for the sake of the health and safety of Americans. Imagine how man people could become infected at a rally?

Just five days ago:

Trump defends holding campaign rallies during coronavirus outbreak: ‘I think it’s very safe’

Coronavirus: Trump defends holding rallies during outbreak

President Donald Trump on Monday brushed off concerns that holding rallies presents a public health risk, even as companies are canceling major events and restricting travel.

“These were set up a long time ago,” Trump told reporters Monday during his White House meeting with Colombian President Ivan Duque.

“And you could ask that to the Democrats, because they’re having a lot of rallies, they’re all having rallies, they’re campaigning,” he added. “I think it’s safe, I think it’s very safe.”

Democratic candidates have yet to cancel their major rallies and events as the field of candidates continues to shrink. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., held a rally Sunday in a region of northern California that has reported a few infections of the virus.

Trump, meantime, held a rally Friday night in North Charleston, South Carolina, a day ahead of the state’s Democratic primaries. He is scheduled to hold one Monday night in Charlotte, North Carolina, the night before that state’s Super Tuesday primary. The GOP will hold its nominating convention in late August in Charlotte.
 
God. Please help us.

The outraged, spinning hyperbole from you and the rest of the Trump haters is so over-the-top, it can only be fake. Seriously...try being genuine once in a while. Heck, try using some reason once in a while.

For example, has it occurred to you that letting that many people make landfall will only increase the chances that the virus will move to people on land? Yeah...that could double the numbers.

I agree with Trump. Keep the numbers where they are...as low as possible. And keep those people on the ship where they are.

No. We need the truth from our incompetent leader. Nobody's blaming Trump for the virus. Have some compassion for those affected. Trump supporters are a sick breed.

For how long? The rest of their lives? Or just until after the election? Remember, not everyone on the ship has tested positive. Why are you afraid of people who are not sick?

What has Trump lied about?

Who doesn't have compassion for those affected?

Can you guarantee that the people who have not tested positive are not carrying the virus?

Heck, I've heard that people who actually had it and recovered were able to pass it on to others.

I can't guarantee anyone is not carrying the virus. Should I be calling for everyone everywhere to be quarantined?

And I've heard that that stupid people believe every cockamamy rumor that comes out about the coronavirus.

Here's an idea: How about Trump order the cruise ship towed out to sea then scuttle it with all hands onboard? If Trump were to order that, you'd go along. After all, what's a few hundred lives compared to getting Trump re-elected, right?

the subject was brought up in another post. Got to ask should all political campaign gathering be canceled? Other non political events are being canceled even though they were "set up a long time ago". President Trump believes it is "very safe".

"“These were set up a long time ago,” Trump told reporters Monday during his White House meeting with Colombian President Ivan Duque.
“And you could ask that to the Democrats, because they’re having a lot of rallies, they’re all having rallies, they’re campaigning,” he added. “I think it’s safe, I think it’s very safe.”

So what should be done?

It was considered outrageous that State went against the advice of the CDC and brought infected patients from that ship come into the country. (Where did YOU fall on that issue?)

You're saying here he's a "heartless fool" for not allowing more infected patients from that ship to come into the country.

So which is correct?

It's all just a hoax to defeat Trump in 2020. The markets are crashing, layoffs are looming, virtually every sector of the Trump economy is being adversely affected. And it is all orchestrated by Obama, Biden, and Bernie to take back the WH. Isn't that right? You better answer "right" because that is what Trump says. It's the next Dem hoax.

You always agree with you King. It's sad that you don't remember how to think for yourself. Locking people up without a crime or trial is now part of the Trump agenda?

So now you're suggesting that it is the CDC, not Trump, who is behind keeping people aboard that ship. So is Trump now taking orders from the CDC? Since when?

And you realize, but conveniently forget, that the vast majority of people aboard that ship are not infected. They are being held against their will without justification. You also ignore the fact that removing non-infected people and having them home quarantine is just as effective and safer for them than what is happening now.

I didn't suggest any such thing.

I said, plainly, that it was supposedly outrageous that infected (and non-infected) people from that ship were brought into this country, but now it's also supposedly outrageous that infected people from that ship are being kept out of the country.

Everything you said here was also true of the people who were flown home. But it was still an outrage.

So is it outrageous to bring infected people into the country, or isn't it?
