“A cruise ship is no place to quarantine people. It’s an enclosed space and causing the spread. '

As more passengers on Diamond Princess become infected by the coronavirus, fears are mounting that quarantining passengers on a cruise ship is not safe.

Very bad to see all that washing on the line. Must be a crap cruise

SO TRUE!

Sounds like a good place to put quarantined people. If the people can't escape neither can the virus.

I believe it is the perfect place. Most tabloids and rag readers go on cruise because they are too lazy to have a proper holiday

Public Transport, schools and offices are probably just as bad. But at least on a cruise ship you could be ill while sipping cocktails and working on your tan by the pool!

Of course you are but the same can be said for any quarantine space

nora virus has no difficulty spreading on cruise ships and effective deep clean after an incident seems to be problematic

Having been on one cruise only, I can see how it would spread. On the first day, we were called for an evacuation briefing all together in one room. We were there for roughly one hour. We were all walking around the liner , in the viewing gallery etc.

The Modern day plague ship!

Nope, because I will never step foot on one.

They are guinie pigs...let's see how long the incubation period really is. Lets see how many healthy people we can make sick and how many will die....good control group don'tcha think Just sayin'!!!!!

its an incubator...... didnt anyone actually realise this.....?

The air recirculating system doesn't help.

Coronavirus cases on Diamond Princess in Japan rise by another 44The remaining 3,500 passengers and crew on the Diamond Princess are confined to their cabins in Yokohama with questions mounting about whether the quarantine is working. Nidhipa yet you claim China fail . This is just one ship and there were only couple of people infected but Japan make mess out of it. I’m not sure the public understand the threat the coronavirus poses globally. Im not sure what you expect. You have people trapped with people who have the virus. This is more of a waiting game than anything else.
