More than 3,800 passengers disembarked from a cruise ship in Miami on Sunday without any type of screening for illness or potential coronavirus infections, the Miami Herald reported Sunday.

"When I say there was no check, there was none whatsoever," one passenger told the Herald. "I expected us to have some kind of a screening. They didn't do a single thing. We walked straight off the ship. There wasn't any check on anyone for anything."

A previous passenger on that same ship, the MSC Meraviglia, disembarked on March 8 and subsequently tested positive for COVID-19.

MSC told the Herald it "followed all protocols as required" and had been cleared to dock and disembark as normal by US health authorities.

2. WTF?

I guess people really are that fucking stupid.

3. Quick!...give them a ride to Mar-a-Lago

4. If USCIS/ICE cared 1% about this rather than then implementing Trump

and his overtly racist policies, we would be far better off.

THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN TESTING BACK IN JANUARY OR FEBRUARY. Period. End of discussion. That was criminally negligent and these agencies, plus DHS and Health, are TOTALLY to blame.

The lack of testing and total lying about it even today is criminal.

5. Don't think 3800 test kits were available in Miami

but the port authorities in Miami should have at least taken forehead temperatures.

6. Each kit is good for about 500 tests.

They'd need only 8 kits to test the 3,800.

8. Oh ok, so what was the excuse for not doing any?

Most people infected with covid-19 show fever, so taking forehead temp with electronic device is quick,
and there is limit on how many. Some countries are doing exactly that with flights arriving from affected areas.

9. Don't ask me...not my call!
