Not so baffling if the goal is for people to get sick.

The CDC's cruise ship inspectors have been laid off, as well as agency's head epidemiologist for investigating cruise ship outbreaks

That baffled health officials since this program is paid for by cruise ship fees, not taxpayer dollars

Make norovirus great again

webrant.bsky.social•3 days ago

For some reason this came to mind immediately.

Unreal, so during Covid we learned just how fast a disease can spread aboard ship, so let’s emulate that?

Or, rather, if you just don't give a damn if they get sick. RFK Little's "walking natural selection" approach to health just means if you get sick, you deserve it.

Now more than ever not getting on one of these death ships.

Flashback to when Trump thought he could keep a lid on Covid by turning a cruise ship into a viral prison.

That crossed the line from stupidity to farce.

Does this mean that we’re all getting norovirus?

warrenotwasteland.bsky.social•3 days ago

The warm weather, it’ll all be gone in April. Or maybe we inject bleach. Or is it a UV wand up the arse.

Science. It’s so sciency. 🤷🏻‍♂️

When will these industries realize regulation helps them

robcodey.bsky.social•3 days ago

Don't blame the industry. They don't want norovirus outbreaks either. Blame the president and his lackeys.

Well any lingering thoughts I had about taking a cruise in the near future are over.

How much would it cost to organize a team-building Carnival Cruise for Trump's cabinet and White House staff?

Not setting foot on any floating germ-breeding petri dish.

Not baffling at all. They have no idea what any program does or who does it - they see line items that aren't important to them, and axe them.

This is it. They use the chain saw first without any knowledge other than the name of what’s being hacked off. Then they find out about it afterwards.

Make E-coli Great Again

What short memories ppl have. When COVID was first detected on a cruise ship off SF, trump didn't let them disembark bc he didn't want counts to rise. So anyone going on a cruise now is taking a floating coffin.

I feel like there’s an amount of revenge against the cruise industry that also motivated this - because the industry caused a problem for him by being a problem/ creating awareness of Covid when Trump was hiding it and hoping it just went away. It’s not logical, but then revenge never is, so….

The medical mafia makes a lot of money from preventable disease and medical errors.

It was cruise ship passengers that played a role in spreading the H1 and one virus.

joanq6.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’ve caught Covid on two different cruise lines in the past two years, despite taking every precaution. My husband and I no longer sail on large ships and we are even more selective about our cruise line choices.

We truly are living in the stupidest timeline
