Here's a  'thought' I had...

Yes there's a cruise ship just off the Florida coast, and its passengers and crew some of whom are currently sick, all of whom are frightened, all in desperate need of help. So, limiting the options JUST to allowing or not allowing that vessel to dock, to me, is simply INCONCEIVABLE... especially when there is an OBVIOUS 3rd option....  and that's to do a Kobayashi Maru!!!!

Instead of having to chose between allowing it ship to dock to avoid the spread of the disease from the ship or refusing to allow the cruise ship to dock and the risk that presents...

Send HELP to THEM!!!!!

A hospital ship like the one docked in New York, OR a military vessel, either way, capable of ship to ship transfer, and carrying doctors nurses equipment, supplies, test kits, everything needed to care for those who are sick and space enough to quarantine those who aren't for no less than 14, or, perhaps as many a 17 days.

It does not require the vessel dock nor does it leave those on the cruise ship without help, and MOST IMPORTANT,  It's the HUMANE thing to DO!!!!!
