Sorry you got stuck out there. I was at anchor in San Francisco when the first cruise liner came in with cases and the passengers were hoarded off and put into fema shelters under military guard.
We were panicking on board about getting off. I was sure that best case scenario I would have to somehow drive across country to get home if I was able to get off since they were talking about shutting down the airports.
I was lucky and got off just days before things really went to shit.
