President Donald Trump said on Friday he would rather have passengers on a cruise ship, which was denied entry to San Francisco over coronavirus concerns, remain on board the vessel. But Trump said he would let others make the decision whether to allow the passengers to leave the Grand Princess ship, where 35 people have reported flu-like symptoms. ‘I like the numbers being where they are,’ said Trump, who appeared to be explicitly acknowledging his political concerns about the outbreak: ‘I don’t need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn’t our fault.’
