A cruise ship allowed thousands of passengers to disembark in Miami Sunday without undergoing screening just days after a passenger left the ship and later tested positive for coronavirus.
The passenger left the MSC Meraviglia in Miami March 8, with 103 passengers and crew remaining aboard for the next voyage. By the time the Health Agency of Canada informed MSC Cruises the ex-passenger had tested positive, the ship had sailed again with thousands of additional passengers, the Miami Herald reported.
The company said it isolated seven crew members who had been in close contact with the passenger in individual cabins upon receiving the results, but said that health officials authorized the ship to dock Sunday and follow normal disembarking procedures.
A total of 3,877 passengers disembarked, several of whom proceeded to Miami International Airport. In contrast, the California health department and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have kept thousands of passengers on the Grand Princess cruise ship before eventually allowing it to dock in Oakland, where it remains as officials work to repatriate crew and passengers.
“If we have it, it’s going to spread throughout the country,” a passenger on the Meraviglia told the newspaper from his home in South Carolina.
“When I say there was no check, there was none whatsoever. I expected us to have some kind of a screening. They didn’t do a single thing. We walked straight off the ship. There wasn’t any check on anyone for anything,” added the man, who asked to remain anonymous.

My response to a friend - I'm already very angry about the entire situation. I can't buy toilet paper, I can't buy meat in the grocery store/s, I can't go to a restaurant, I can't go to PUBLIC places such as the Lincoln Park zoo, I can't shop at stores that are closing their doors, I can't attend sporting events nor watch them on TV, I can't go to work, etc., etc.; etc. POSSIBLY all because a country (not ours) that absolutely knew the risks of having "wet markets" still allowed them to exist.
And... The crazy thing is "this" could be a whole lot worse. I couldn't even imagine if it was spreading as fast as some/many/most "experts" felt it would.
Goodness. T’s & P’s.

(I'm reading that this has been confirmed.)
What's been confirmed?
Originally, Reuters said the "exclusivity" portion had been confirmed by German government sources but has had to walk it back.

jmo, and i've said it before, but it’s more about the cultural issues associated with using all forms of wildlife for various purposes, not at at all limited to basic food consumption
