As usual plague ships bringing infection, pollution and overcrowding to Palma. This time the hospital. It’s actually Madrid that controls the port. The Balearic Gov need to fight to protect Palma.
They should Ban the cruise ships from coming to Mallorca or Ibiza for at least a year all of them only nessaray ships with life articles on board can come equipment food etc medical supplies etc , the problem is the gov gets money from docking fees etc and they are all in the club too far area so they very seldom go to town what they need to do when this all goes back to normal is have free taxis to the old town for these people so they come to the town and spend some money , all good could talk about this for hours !
So...whats first...THE MONEY....OR THE HEALTH of the Public..!!! And of course the Strain that is being put on the Hosptial Nurses and Doctors there...!!! that fact that this is the 2nd time in 1 week...!!! I hop they STOP^these Cruises for at least 2 weeks....AT LEAST ..or more if nesscisary..!!!
Why would anyone with an ounce of sense set foot on one of those things. Ah, they have NO sense.
Here we go again. Cruise ship are the ideal environment for disease spread. It’s not about vaccine for COVID-19 it’s about not learning. I don’t think there is a vaccine for that.
Do the cruise companies not make it compulsory for all members of crew to be fully vaccinated? If not why? They should not be sailing or allowed to Dock anywhere!! They should be regularly tested.
Hahahaha, Peter: well said! These floating plagaue platforms should be banned forever.
Really, I would never have thought that would happen. :-)
