Are the people on these cruise shipped infected with covid?  If not, they've been quarantined long enough and should not be risk to the rest of us.  Let them leave the ship!

They have basically been living in a bubble; if no out breaks of Covid 19 has happened; then they should be allowed to go home to their respective countries now if allowed in. This is madness, how much longer do they expect to keep them on the ship? ???

   😷     Agreed!  But if they were treated like adults, they would be given a mask, get negative results for two tests and sent home!  Instead?  🤧
 Here's another take on this :
