A ship that has a passenger capacity of 4,180, allowed passengers who were potentially exposed to coronavirus to leave a cruise ship docked in New Jersey, despite the fact that 27 Chinese nationals have been quarantined inside the ship and four have been taken to a New Jersey hospital for Coronavirus screening.
Four Royal Caribbean Chinese passengers, who had traveled to the cruise directly from China, were taken off the ship for testing for coronavirus. At least one was carried on a stretcher by medics who were shockingly were not wearing protective gear or masks, aside from gloves.
According to WNBC-TV, the four passengers were taken to University Hospital in Newark, which has negative-pressure isolation rooms.

Thanks Trump you moron!
This guy has no screwed us harder than obama did when he let ebola into the country. so the cdc says mandatory quarantine yet these dipshits let thousands of potentially infected people into the U.S. and send medical workers without masks on to the ship?

Wow are you stupid, blame Trump for everything
.. this is the CDC yahoo!
Well trump is a traitorous scumbag like every other politician.. This is cdc and local law enforcement and national law enforcement not doing their jobs. The coast guard should have barred entrance.
