  1. Why, because of increased testing (larger denominator) or larger sample size?
  2. Agreed. Unusual, Miami media usually measures white stuff by the kilo. I guess you could say they caught em' rollin dirty!
  3. oh man... that sucks for him and his family, but he was coughing up blood and decided to get on a plane?
  4. Yeah... I can't imagine getting behind a leader because he swims really well. That was his shtick.
  5. I think we may be talking past each other. I was incredulous that this was being considered a good option considering the available alternatives. I was not arguing against it being the best option. I don't think anyone thinks that. Sure the ships hook up to shore power ... That would be a potential point of failure with higher risk than a permanent terrestrial connection. There is a reason hospitals are built so close to power sub stations.
  6. This started when I posted that The president and Mickey Arison had a discussion about this option. Were there experts in the room? IDK I'm not in charge of the "plan" for this emergency. I'd be willing to wager I'd have done a MUCH fucking better job than the current crew. Really any poster here would have. Or maybe I do ... Can you name me all the sources of power a cruise ship has? Vs say a hardened municipal building powered by industrial powerplants (FP&L ) and with built in generator backups.. Go a ahead let me know what you find out. But in that post I was thinking more about electrical draw of medical equipment... so my bad there
  7. I'd be shocked as hell if a cruise-ship room has more juice running to it than a school room or hotel room. Sure a cruise ship makes a good alternative during a natural disaster when terrestrial infrastructure is damaged. You'll never convince me cruise ships are the best option unless we send them to the Virgin Islands even then... I just want the best outcome...
  8. Florida school buildings are controlled entry and access also. Not cruise-ship controlled, but better than hospitals for sure
  9. Rick Scott has been the voice of reason so far in Florida... and he's been largely ignored. Former governor and CEO of a massive healthcare ORG what could he possibly know, Am I right?! Full Disclosure: I am not a Rick Scott fan.
  10. So hospitals struggle to maintain sanitary conditions... therefore we should give it a shot on a cruise ship designed for comfort not healthcare ?? Repeat after me...Cruise-ship carpet! Or are we on the hook for a whole retro-refit when we are done?
  11. I'd hope so. I'd also hope it would not be the company that cleans. They have a really bad track record. Sure Nope I'm worried about the medical personnel in tight confined spaces with poor ventilation and porous surfaces everywhere. Like I said if the experts are for it great. If this is a half assed two for one bailout/handout that might cost people their lives... yeah pass
  12. On that note... The party is still on! Sen. Rick Scott pleads for people to get off Florida beaches as spring breakers party on https://www.sun-sentinel.com/coronavirus/fl-ne-florida-beaches-coronavirus-20200319-45upiema4vdftanmkreuph7kk4-story.html
  13. Or that we have currently empty municipal buildings that could be more easily sanitized and used. Yes schools are out for a month and at least down here they are simple concrete and terrazzo construction. Bubba could pressure wash the whole thing with the disinfectant of your choosing. Easy access for ambulances, already physical security, food prep... They are owned and empty. Room after room after room. But sure let's rent a cruise-ship! Full disclosure I'm all for the medically best solution in this crisis.
  14. Stop it man, you're giving the hipsters ideas "It's like... the realest version of food"
  15. Good lord man... This company has a spectacular track record of spreading infections. Have they discovered much less solved the transmission and sanitation problems on their ships... in the last (checks calendar) 1 days?! Many of these ships just returned to dump off their remaining passengers (without testing BTW) as early as yesterday. This is a bailout for the cruiseline... it's insanity. If medical professionals think turning luxury high-density cruise liners into plague ships then I guess I'm on board. But I can't imagine there aren't better safer places to handle overflow.
