They are landing three cruise ships here full of infected people with "scout's honor" they won't hop on a plane and fly home. Get ready world, here they come. |

The ins here in quarantine from the ship even refused to be tested after the 15 days as the government said they would be able to leave if no symptoms in 14 days. Hope their families survive. |
