More than 120 Diamond Princess cruise-ship evacuees to be released from quarantine in Texas
More than 120 evacuees from the Diamond Princess cruise ship are scheduled to be released by federal officials from quarantine Tuesday at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg confirmed.
Nirenberg told The Washington Post that he is “grateful for our state and local medical professionals, as well as the on-the-ground boots from CDC.” He said that he was satisfied with the plan for the evacuees’ release because the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had changed its testing protocols.
Nirenberg’s reaction is an about-face from Monday, when San Antonio filed an emergency lawsuit attempting to prevent federal officials from releasing the former cruise-ship passengers over concerns they could endanger the public.
The city did so after learning that the CDC had released an evacuee from Wuhan who was also staying on the air base back into the community for about 12 hours, only to then return her to quarantine after test results came back that were positive for the coronavirus. (The woman had previously tested negative, leading to her release.)
U.S. District Judge Xavier Rodriguez denied San Antonio’s request in a three-page order Monday, writing that he “has no authority to second-guess” the CDC. But he also expressed sympathy with the city, adding that “the Court also shares the concerns expressed by the plaintiffs.”
“The United States Government is, in effect, washing its own hands further of this quarantine,” Rodriguez wrote. “This is disappointing.”

Today the fat lying bastard once again insinuated a vaccine was a few months away. That lie came shortly after the CDC once again stated a vaccine is 12 to 18 months away.
