Governors are not required to listen to the CDC. Do you have something to show us proving that they do have to listen to the CDC, or is this just your opinion?

The person I responded to was talking about jobs overall, not specifically cruising (unless there's 40 million people in the cruise industry without jobs 😯).

Lol you need to take off that tin foil hat! I'm pretty sure governors and business owners are not required to listen to the CDC.

Good point.

The CDC does not issue lockdown orders. That is done by local and state officials.

Why would they? That's not their job.

What about ports with little or no hospital facilities (Coco Cay, Labadee)?

What do you do with someone that has a high temperature boarding at a port of call?

They are not including antibody tests as of May 23: https://www.kcur.org/2020-05-24/missouris-covid-19-testing-outlook-declines-after-health-department-removes-antibody-tests-from-tally In light of that, it's somewhat telling that their numbers actually went up after they stopped doing that. I would have expected them to go down. I would guess that their reporting methods haven't changed regarding your other questions, so any trend should be considered fairly accurate. If they have changed their reporting methods, then of course any trend is questionable.

Cases are going up in Missouri: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/missouri-coronavirus-cases.html

What happens when you forget to order a piece of bread? Or some dressing for your salad? Or a cookie? Do you have to then place and wait for another order?

Also there was the TV series, Under the Dome. They never did say what state it was in. Now we know!

You might want to check out those local websites yourself.

You said "Even the big city...largest in the state near me...has seen no violence or looting." Not sure what your definition of violence is. And I liked your statement basically saying, "Except for the place where there was violence, there was no violence." 😁
