President-elect Joe Biden unveiled a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus plan on Thursday. It includes $1,400 checks, according to Business Insider. Biden had pledged $2,000 direct payments to Americans. The $1,400 checks would be in addition to the $600 direct payments provided most recently. This would be welcomed funds as more and more Americans face eviction and hunger. Most developed countries worldwide have been supporting their citizens with funds since last March.
In March the cruise industry came to an abrupt halt. The World Health Organization declared coronavirus a global pandemic. Cruise lines are legally mandated to run test cruises before they are allowed to officially set sail again. The company's president said Royal Caribbean has already signed up 100,000 willing volunteers. Last week, the first cruise to sail the Caribbean in months was forced to return to port amid a coronavirus outbreak among passengers.
The first major cruise in the Caribbean set sail this week. SeaDream Yacht Club's SeaDream 1 set sail despite many warnings against doing so. They used strict pre-departure coronavirus testing guidelines. Even still, five passengers aboard the ship have now tested positive for coronavirus. Since the first passenger tested positive, the ship has docked in Barbados and is on lockdown. This is the first major cruise to embark in the Caribbean since March, says Business Insider.
