President Donald Trump said he would ask Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to allow the docking of a cruise ship with passengers who have had contact with patients suffering from COVID-19.<\/p>\n

As of Tuesday evening, four people on Holland Americas Zaandam cruise ship had died, according to a statement by company officials,<\/a> with eight people testing positive for the CCP virus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheyre dying on the ship,\u201d Trump said at a briefing<\/a> Tuesday, addressing DeSantiss opposition to letting the Zaandam dock.<\/p>\n

\u201cIm going to do whats right, not only for us but for humanity,\u201d the president added.<\/p>\n

After leaving Argentina in early March, the Zaandam has been stuck at sea, with passengers anxious to disembark once they reach Florida. DeSantis said the states health care resources are already stretched too thin to absorb the ships CCP virus caseload.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot afford to have people who arent even Floridians dumped into South Florida using up those valuable resources,\u201d DeSantis told Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe think its a mistake to be putting people into southern Florida right now, given what were dealing with, so we would like to have medical personnel simply be dispatched to that ship, and the cruise lines can hopefully arrange for that, tend to folks who may need medical attention,\u201d DeSantis said, according to Fox.<\/p>\n

A second Holland America ship, the Rotterdam, took on about two-thirds of the Zaandams passengers who passed a medical check. It is expected to arrive at Fort Lauderdale by the end of the week.<\/p>\n

Orlando Ashford, President of Holland America, urged authorities to show compassion.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are dealing with a not my problem syndrome,\u201d Ashford said in a statement<\/a>. \u201cThe international community, consistently generous and helpful in the face of human suffering, shut itself off to Zaandam.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNations are justifiably focused on the COVID-19 crisis unfolding before them. But theyve turned their backs on thousands of people left floating at sea. Are these reactions based on facts from experts like the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), or fueled by irrational fear? What happened to compassion and help thy neighbor?\u201d he said in the statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlready four guests have passed away and I fear other lives are at risk. As of March 30, 76 guests and 117 crew on Zaandam have influenza-like illness, including eight people who have tested positive for COVID-19,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe COVID-19 situation is one of the most urgent tests of our common humanity. To slam the door in the face of these people betrays our deepest human values,\u201d Ashford wrote.<\/p>\n

To date, more than 4,000 people have died from the CCP viruRead More \u2013 Source<\/a>
