Finally, I just read about stranded citizens from other countries. The various governments can hire cruise ships to gather, sanitize, medicate and quarantine citizens during the journey home. This way the onboard medical crew can help to stop the spread of anything and quarantine them onboard during the trip while the various countries prepare to welcome them home to a quarantine confirmation and repatriation. This would help the cruise lines and citizens at the same time and allow for quarantine preparations to be concluded. Furthermore we need to ensure procedures to care for the zoo animals and others that depend on us especially during this time. Lastly you should also ensure you have enough supplies and water in case of emergency in any time of crisis. Including first aid, medications that might be needed, water, canned food and anything else you might need for quarantine. Local shops and institutions can help to ensure prescriptions are filled and mailed and that each community and family is supported at this time. While we may not be able to interact with each other at this time, we can still look out for one another. Stand United. Have a Nice Day, John Ames Birch @johneames2
