The contract for cargo ship sailors spells out they can't sail longer than 11 mos w/out a solid month off. Many workers have been stuck onboard longer & aren't allowed off the ships. NEVER. No going to grab some food or GET A DAMN VACCINE, which is why they're stuck on the ship.

Actually, not at all like that. These cargo ship sailors aren't allowed off their ships. NEVER. No going to grab some food or GET A DAMN VACCINE, which is why they're stuck on the ship. Catch 22. Little or no phone/internet. NO FAMILY CONTACT!
