TRUMP risks more deaths to help supporters in cruise industry

Unread post by AHE »

Robert Redfield, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, was overruled when he pushed to extend a "no-sail order" on passenger cruises into next year

Redfield argued that the government's ban on cruise ships, which expires on Wednesday, should be extended until February 2021 because of the virus' severity and the vulnerability for spread on cruises.

a politically motivated White House is ignoring the science and pushing too aggressively to reopen the economy and encourage large gatherings.

the Trump administration plans to extend the no-sail order for cruise ships until October 31. (That matches the endpoint of the cruise industry's self-imposed ban.)

the industry is a major economic presence in Florida — a key battleground state where the polls are statistically tied.
