Agree. i watched the news and the steps they are taking is amazing like food delivery has the temperature of the person who made the food and delivered the food. when food I delivered it is put on the ground and the person steps way back until picked up. they have hundreds of folks who do nothing but walk around trains and malls and public places with disinfectant. why china built a hospital in 5-6 days. Too bad back in December China did not listen to the whistle blower who got arrested and then the poor fellow also died. The WHOLE WORLD will be studying this Virus and how it spread and what measures worked and did not work for years to come. Watch CNN tonight Thursday at 10pm with Sanjay Gupta for a whole hour on this subject 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time for USA to lead by example. I'd bet they disembark and place passengers in a land based quarantine. The USA has a perfect opportunity to show it can do it better than Japan but I suspect it will be justy order everyone home to self quarantine. I am of the opinion now that all susceptible persons on the planet try and self quarantine as trace and report now doesn't seem to be stopping the spread at all.

I am not so confident western citizens especially those from the USA will respond in such a co-operative maner in country. We have people fighting over dunny paper here in Australia right now !

lostchild Posted March 5, 2020 #332 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Pretty sure they won't repeat Japan's mistake of quarantine them on the ship for 14 days. So either let people with no symptoms (or tested negative) go home for self quarantine or bus them to some kind of a military base. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logically, a respiratory disease can only spread when there are symptoms like coughing and sneezing. Earlier reports of asymptomatic infection turned out to be wrong. Patients had been using medication to suppress flu symptoms. At some point, the patients must have become became symptomatic without remembering it. One problem may be that a person may be infected with the common cold and COVID19. At an early stage of infection, the common cold may spread itself and COVID19. Then, the common cold subsides and the patient seems to be asymptomatic, as the body does not progress to more serious stages of COVID19. It more be a good idea to get a vaccination for the common flu. It reduces the ability of COVID19 to hide, and reduces the complications if infection gets serious. A lot of research is needed to understand this bug. Let's not spread alarmist news. This is not true at all: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/transmission.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know that of the 60 that took a back to back that out of those 10 or possibly more are showing signs There are now 3 identified passengers from the earlier Grand cruise that tested Covid19 positive. 2 are alive, one is dead. Local health departments are supposed to be tracking down all the other passengers, but the US does not have enough test kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still more effective than all standing together and breathing on each other when you strongly suspect you have multiple cases on board. Like hand sanitizer, it's not perfect, but it's something... And it also ensures employees can be pulled from shifts and checked themselves (vs keeping open a pool, a bar, etc) and focused on super-cleaning... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragnar Danneskjold Posted March 5, 2020 #344 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I sure hope that all the more modern ships that have rotary heat exchangers in their hvac systems have switched them off. And somehow shut down recirculation of air in the public spaces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were to stop the spread to the rest of the population. They could do the same thing by keeping them on the ship. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
