Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted February 7, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I wish this article offered more details. Published Thursday evening 11pm (2/6). 12 Chinese nationals showing signs of pulmonary issues being held in isolation and will be tested for corona. No word where they will be held in Bayonne or how debarkation/embarkation will be handled. https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2020/02/06/cruise-ship-set-to-dock-in-bayonne-will-test-12-passengers-for-coronavirus/amp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted February 7, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 7, 2020 That article also says that we are returning from the Bahamas. We’re not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisemapper shows you anchored outside of bayonne right now, have you been told anything? I read you came back early to outrun a storm, but that would also coincidently allow time to get corona test kits onboard. I don’t like that the article can’t be substantiated and it sure does seem like this could be significant (if true) given what is Happening with diamond princess.

mbrown001 Posted February 7, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I received this E-Mail concerning tomorrow’s (2/7/2020) embarkation. Sounds like they are either spooked or exercising an abundance of caution. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted February 7, 2020 Author #7 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Oh boy- I believe in an Abundance of caution given the infection rate on diamond princess. Only 230 passengers were tested (those directly in contact with then ground zero passenger). Of those, 61 are positive. Bad odds. Currently those 61 infected on diamond princess are the largest Concentrated number (after China) listed. Apparently Japan did not want to claim the diamond princess passengers in their stats, so an entirely new category “other” was created. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted February 7, 2020 Author #8 Share Posted February 7, 2020 NBCnewyork has picked up the story. Confirmed that it is anthem of the seas where there is concern.

Not much clarity being offered from rcl. i suspect things might be chaotic in Bayonne this morning... “It is unclear whether the unwell passengers will be held on board while tests are carried out, or whether others will be allowed to disembark from the ship” https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7977547/amp/Sick-passengers-board-New-Jersey-bound-cruise-ship-tested-coronavirus.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is the unknown of the virus. How contagious is it and how deadly is it. The regular flu is deadly when not treated (and sometimes when it is treated) The key is can this be treated effectively only time will tell. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bloomberg.com/amp/news/articles/2020-01-29/10-year-old-boy-raises-fears-wuhan-virus-could-spread-undetected 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcell Posted February 7, 2020 #12 Share Posted February 7, 2020 So not only the cruise but the flight, hotel, etc... they were on people "maybe" at risk. I received an email a couple of weeks ago regarding not letting on anyone from China/HK (carrying passport passengers) or if they have a cough or fever, etc... I guess it was not implemented in time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably precautionary, or they may be taking people to designated screening areas. Or it could be completely unrelated to any of this.

#55worktoplay Posted February 7, 2020 #25 Share Posted February 7, 2020 For those on ship, are normal disembarking procedures happening? I suppose if normal some would be off ship by now? Wishing those scheduled to be off or on ship today all the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
