If the Chinese can't stop it......no-one can..... the youth here are so full of themselves ..... it's devil may care........as far as they are concerned !

That picture makes me 🤢

For god’s sake, they must have gotten it from the air conditioning...why didn’t they take the people off the ship right away? I hope they will get well soon!

Bet they voted Tory? Northerners take note 😊😎

The same British couple who were selfishly whining yesterday about being stranded by the government.

This isn’t the Brexit they voted for

Lock hundreds of people in a petri dish and suddenly everyone is shocked they've all been infected. Quarantine does not mean lockdown, quarantine means individual containment and care. These people were treated like rats. Sadly their demise will help virologists...

Oh dear.

Selfish carriers wanted to come back too

katyoun_hana Never mind about any other nationality ...

Why haven’t they taken off anyone that hasn’t contracted the virus. You’re bound to get it being left on there?!

Et bien ils vont pas faire leur américains de base ils vont se serrer les coudes et on pense à eux. La zone de test est là...

Is he the bloke that's been going on on social media for the past two weeks, says he's been ' abandoned '?

Quick HomeOffice Cancel their passports. Soz, my bad, just saw they are white

Surely the virus is circulating in the air conditioning

They are of course inconvenienced BUT it’s a cruise ship which means they will be looked after also isn’t it a British ship ? With multi linguistic staff ? They have quoted there is NO English speaking people what a load of rubbish The Love Boat🤣

Britain to evacuate citizens from coronavirus-hit cruise ship Diamond PrincessForeign office seeking to organise flight for UK nationals stuck on ship where more than 450 people have virus RT : Britain to evacuate citizens from coronavirus-hit cruise ship Diamond Princess I cannot help but wonder if like the US airlift where 14 people tested positive and we allow positive people to be released into the general popualtion resulting in deaths, will those who demanded that these people be brought back be made accountable for those deaths. Why the rush by all the nations to evac now when Japan is supposed to allow all people whos tests come back negative off the boat by Friday? The whole thing is nuts and im afraid many more people from that plague ship are goin to be popping up as infected over the next few weeks
