Coronavirus was probably like will be partying on the cruise for 17 days! lol 0:14
Let's take a cruise to coronavirus Island I heard it's beautiful there Let's Go Darling
How could virus survive for days even after cleaning…. 😠..
I din't believe the virus could possibly be this infectious, or there would be an insane amount of cases already. I would be more worried about someone infected just breathing on you compared to going into a room with infected people 1 week plus later after they have left the room. Finding traces of a virus doesn't mean the virus is alive.
In defiance of medical advice people still went on cruises – now many are stranded aboard as ports worldwide refuse to allow the cruise-ships-of- death to dock! The words 'hoist', 'petard' and 'willful ignorance' come to mind.
I guess I'm ok with my prime one day shipping taking until April 28th to get here. I'll have to leave by groceries in my car for 17 days now
Why are you using the word "survived" in this article title? STOP scaring people for the sake of your money. Ridiculous. Someone needs to explain the difference between RNA and a live virus to people and stop fear mongering. The whole point of the CDC study was to show it was spreading, NOT that it's "survived" implying 'viable.' https://www.sciencemediacentre.org/expert-reaction-to-cdc-report-on-covid-19-outbreaks-on-cruise-ships-which-includes-that-sars-cov-2-rna-was-identified-on-surfaces-in-cabins-up-to-17-days-after-they-were-vacated/
All you people making fun at this couple for doing this.. is awful! They were old and they were scared! They were desperate to find a cure so they did what they thought would stop the virus because stupid trump told everyone it was a GREAT idea and he HAD A GOOD FEELING ABOUT IT and went on about how he’s doing TREMENDOUS THINGS.. blah blah blah! His followers are so brainwashed they believe everything that idiot says! so unfortunately, this very old couple thought it was ok to take it too! It’s sad and not funny! 😞
The process of natural selection oh what a beautiful thing! Stupid as hell and they proofed it…..ðŸ¤ÂÂ
Reports like this is misleading and dangerous. All to make a buck. Sad. Shows people real sides.
Assalom alaykum..kanal chuq
No
The cruise operators sail into the perfect storm.
People, this is not newsworthy information. They found trace amounts of the virus' RNA, but there has been zero evidence that there was a stable/viable virus capable of infecting someone 17 days later. ABC could have had any doctor explain that this news is not something to worry about nor even unique among viruses, but instead they chose to scare people.
More people die on cruise ships from bad food or bad music than Corona…and dwarfed by the flu. Get real…get a life…learn math, brain dead millennials.
This is one reason why I say it will take 6 or 7 months of lock down to get out of this mess. And even then you have to seal the borders. I think there is a better solution:
No solution, just bitching by a half baked political hack.
HERE IS A SOLUTION.
Testing, Social distancing, Isolation is not going to work.
We would have to shut down everything for a least a year,
maybe longer until they get a vaccine.
Vaccine against most virus are not 100% effective. Maybe 60%
to 70% effective. The death rate would still be about the
same as if we did nothing.
They say they will have a test to tell if you have had the
virus in a couple of weeks.
SO HERE IS WHAT YOU DO.
1. Pass draconian laws if you cheat anyway on this testing (counterfeit cards – think Mafia)
harsh punishment my vote would be a firing squad. – Serious Martial Law would allow this.
2. If you test positive that you have had the virus then you are issued an ID picture
card clearing you for unrestricted movement.
3. Go to FULL LOCK DOWN. You have to exempt some jobs.
Food production, energy, supermarkets, drug and hardware stores.
4. As more recovered people come on line you can start opening
up more businesses.
a. This becomes the exit process from the lock down.
b. Builds Herd immunity.
c. Avoids entering the dark ages again.
There not telling us the truth just like most things, we are looking at 1 1/2 to 3 years of this and we can't
keep a 3 year lock down going. Not possible in any country. Not even China.
If were are not willing to something like this we might as well do nothing, bite the bullet, suffer the death
rate and get it over with.
I don't say this lightly. I'm 76 with medical problems.
Did anyone think that the cleaning people SUCK at their jobs?
Faux would never report this item. Also when these drug supplies are so short, how are people getting ahold of them? Especially without a physician. How did colton the stupid bachelor get these meds also? Shouldn't the feds be looking into this crap? We've got friggen doctors to keep healthy. WTF.
Self medicating means self responsibility! Stop blaming Trump for your bad mistakes!
Fake news ABC get your facts straight

Thus saith the Lord Jesus; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his strength, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.
It is mutating and becoming self-aware !
How the hell do you test a 72 day old surface for a virus. This is bull ship. You cant. Corona virus can only survive in a host . It will dry up and die on a surface. How the hell are they testing every surface on a ship.
It all lies. If you drink chlorine you will get sick. Trump said drink chlorine. Or something. So I drank coolade .
I'm fat and its trumps fault. Trump trump trump. Pull your head out people. This is a global igalen trick to steal your rights. Dont go out in the air. Or beach. Its danger. Be afraid. We will save you .
Fear mongering..
I'm embarrassed to be a human😷😷😷🤧🤧🤧🤕🤪
FAKE NEWS
Trump is not at fault if some morons decide to drink tank cleaner.
Hack journalism.
They should rename trump to President Killbot
I hate to say this. Suppose to cruise again in 2022. And already this type of news making me feel like. Damn I may need to call Carnival and ask for REFUND. After all this virus stuff ceases What condition are all them cruise boats gonna be in? Are they gonna be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. NCL, Carnival Cruise, Royal Caribbean, Princess Cruises, Holland American etc etc. Are y'all gonna sink them ships or burn them? Just asking?
meanwhile Trump wants to restart businesses in 17 days..
i used a form of fungus call psilocybin in mushrooms ,fucking walking zombies i swear theres 30% of humans who are mindless useless and just plain suckpumps
touch nothing public. yikes.
“Good evening world! This is the news! Today you should be frightened until bedtime. We have Rachel with some more things to be scared of. Rachel!â€ÂÂ
Well imagine unsanitised ny subway aquarium tanks? Lol USA people will be fed with aquarium tanks cleaner? Lol
Stop lying
People are going to buy Kayaks and Canoes from now on.
I am inmune to the virus because I am a virus myself
a BS misrepresentation
YOU FAIL TO MENTION IF THAT VIRUS WAS STILL ALIVE. I KNOW THIS IS SOMETHING EVERYONE SHOULD BE TAKING SERIOUSLY BUT YOUR REPORTING NOW SEEMS MORE LIKE YOU ARE ACTUALLY TRYING TO SCARE THE PEOPLE AND CAUSE PANIC.
Superbug? More like Chinese bioweapon.
Traces of covid19 doesn't mean the virus was alive and capable of infecting anyone!
What's with this insanely stupid fearmongering?
17 days later 😳
This virus lives in human lungs for long time even If you think your cured. It only takes one 1 piece of it to mutates. Like this . <—— dot
Has anyone ever thought this was a biological attack. The virus was planted on that cruise ship out of China. Hmmm???? Trump and Kim r not buddies amymore??? He had resumed testing missiles. Let the real truth come out. Also that ship had people on from around the world
Just food for thought 😣😣😣🤧🤧😀😀
Yeah, the old man drank fish tank cleaner!
Sorry, but that's just a stupid time to do. I'm sure the bottle said "not for human consumption."
Why some of the news Networks are even making it look like he took a prescribed medication (but showing the pills), is absolutely RIDICULOUS!!!
