They are at Tilbury Vic, according to several papers yesterday Lewisham Hospital London, admitted they had turned away
coronavirus patients, if true then perhaps the ships will be used, I think they said there is over 2000 cabins available, cheers.

Re: Saga Cruises
May have to speed thing up as the Saga Sapphire currently docked in 'London; maybe sent to India for scrap as she is old and with the cruise industry shut down she may not go back into service.
Have been told by niece in London hospital that there have been cases of people having two tests each time because they think a runny nose means they have the virus.
Happy daze John in Oz.
