A Florida man dies days after hundreds of people exposed to coronavirus walked around the world's busiest airport | CNN
What was supposed to be an adventure of a lifetime started with a coronavirus outbreak at sea and ended with hundreds of passengers on a flight to Atlanta despite risks of infection.
The passenger's were all covered in the virus, yet were allowed to leave a chartered plane into ATL airport and went about their business of eating, drinking and "moved away when other (travelers) got too close" as they continued their travel onto their next destination. Many knew what should have happened, but they figured, hey they let me off, let me catch my next flight home.
What really annoys me is the lack of personal responsibility among the passengers. Not one person stood up and said "hey, we are all exposed, some of us have symptoms, shouldn't we be quarantining somewhere?" Even the medic who was triaging people and self quarantined herself for 14 days in Atlanta.
Total lack of personal responsibility while they knew that other cruise ship passengers on other vessels had been quarantined. How the officials allowed this to happen, is beyond me. I bet maybe 350 of them and none of them thought it be a good idea to bring it up considering some knew ? This was March 20th, not March 1st.
I bet maybe someone thought about it, and was afraid of mob mentality when a few people speak up for what's right and the rest disagree. But you would think there would be more than one who felt this way (the medic) and could rally people in order to protect others. Atlanta is getting hit hard with this thing.
