She said: "There are a lot of rumours circling around that the people of Hawaii are asking a flotilla of boats to block us from coming in."
I don't have any time to fact check this article. If anybody has more information I would appreciate reading it.

"No-one on board had shown any symptoms of the virus and they had been at sea for 14 days, which hopefully meant they were in the clear."
Not sure why you called it a plague ship ?
RE: Potential Plague ship headed for Hilo! - terracore - 03-15-2020
My bad, I thought that was the new term for "cruise ship".

At this point, I hope that flotilla is real.
Sorry, but to allow them to make landfall is crazy. Come close, be restocked, help them in anyway possible. Yes, absolutely. But allow them to disembark?
Hahaha.. folks read the history of Mount Pelee and the bustling little town of Saint Pierre on Martinique..
Politicians have been failing their citizens forever.

Easily fixed, you can edit the title of the thread.

From the lady's Facebook page:
But today we are told we cannot stay in Hawaii , we can only disembark the ship if we have confirmed flights back to our home country. Only problem is that there won’t be any flights between the USA and UK.
RE: Potential Plague ship headed for Hilo! - PaulW - 03-15-2020
Not sure where she got that idea, there are still flights from the US to the UK.

Virus is already here. I don't think it matters anymore.

I don't think it matters anymore...
Dude.. you must be immune to reality.
Sorry, but no matter here or not, flattening the curve, doing all we can to not participate in transmission, is critical, if not to you, at least to every person around you.
I think those with that sort of cavalier attitude.. grrr do I really need to finish that sentence?
Wake up!

She tried booking a flight and found the only flight to the UK that she could get a ticket on was from DFW and she would have to get their by flying thru Seattle. Didn't want to fly through Seattle.
