Cruise ship passengers under federal coronavirus quarantine say they are lacking food, medical attention and are being housed in unsanitary conditions, contradicting Trump's claims that getting them off the Grand Princess was a"tremendous success."
Food was not delivered to their room for more than 12 hours after their arrival, she said. Their room had no towel and one small bar of soap, and she has been told there is no more, despite the constant public health reminders to wash hands. They found a stark contrast between protocols onboard the ship and at the bases. On the ship, they had been restricted to their rooms. But after being carefully guided off the ship, maintaining a wide distance to avoid the possibility of spreading infection, they were tightly crammed into airplane seats, then buses, to take them to the military bases.
A representative for the governor of Montana complained about having difficulty getting information to assist residents of her state who are quarantined. Others raised concerns about travel logistics and lost luggage. “We thank you for your patience as we try to resolve medication, luggage, linens and room equipment problems,” HHS spokeswoman Cheri Rice told those on the call, acknowledging “many significant logistical challenges.
Routine medical care reportedly has been lacking at Dobbins, too. Barb May, 63, from Bloomington, Illinois, said her requests for help refilling a prescription for her husband went nowhere. Ultimately, she found a local pharmacy to deliver it.
That’s dumb. There’s no reason food, etc can’t be brought out to them by people in hazmat suits to prevent exposure. Fuel and supplies to maintain the ship. There’s no reason to let conditions deteriorate.
But they got plenty of toilet tissue
Good idea not to go on a cruise when shit like this is happening. They knew they gambled and now suck it up!
