And how long were they on it? Or estimated time from exposure?

Chinese researchers are in the habit of selling their laboratory animals to street vendors after they have finished experimenting on them, instead of properly disposing of infected animals by cremation. That's probably how the virus got out...

DP is registered in the UK and the operated US company. Remember Westerdam of US company were refused to accept them in Guam (US). And, necessary to clarify whether the virus was already infected before isolation. Because there was heavy contact at dance hall and buffet served

Wuhan closed city on 19th and this departure on 20th. How come the Casino company let the ship tour start at the first place. This money making company is really killers.

Literally a cruise is the best place it can start lmao. Wash ya hands

The world needs to act on this as fast as possible cos its our problem not just them

Coronavirus cruise: British passenger David Abel asks to be evacuated of... YouTube

They need to quarantine that boat even when everyone is off of it. I would never book a trip on that boat.

😢

Japan doesn’t have enough facility. We even Japanese cannot take a test. Please be aware that this is BRITISH ship and they have a different rule that Japan cannot cope with !!!’nn

How’s about everyone stop taking cruises for just a little bit? You know, just until they get this pesky old murderous virus nipped in the bud?

Japanese P.M.Abe threatened a company(Hotel ANA intercontinental Tokyo). Intercontinental's spokesman has silenced . This is 'Threat' P.M Abe's crime .

The Japanese government rarely conducts coronavirus tests, so the number of infected cases is reported to be low. Many pneumonia patients want to be tested, but have been declined and are counted as normal pneumonia patients. I'd like you to report this issue to overseas media.

So sad

Time to hold countries like China liable for there reckless global spread of coronavirus. International Laws should be adopted making countries pay $Billion$ in fines for there lack of managing there countries health issues which now has effected the worlds health and economy.

When it’s eventually empty they’ll have tore-launch it with a new name. The Duchess of Sussex perhaps?

CNN shoud report 🇨🇳Travel agencies in China are selliypackage tours to enter Australia (and other countries) via 3rd country for Chinese who are banned to enter.🤬🤬 Chinese travel agencies try to spread further infection to the world 🤬🤬 YouTube

This ship is British flag. And management is an American company. People should blame the United States❗️❗️😡😡🥶 The world nation picks them up🤮🤮🤮

On December 31, 2019, the first case of Wuhan coronavirus (2019-nCoV) was reported. By mid-February 2020, it reached a mild-pandemic level that had killed more than 1,000 people in China and the world over. Facts CoronavirusOutbreak

rosemaryCNN Prayers...

Princess is reported to have plans in the works to scuddle the ship off the Asias coast... Cost to clean everything is porhi ;be

Why people are blaming Japan? The ship management learnt about the affection on the 30th and did nothing. Passengers continued to gather, kara-OK, dance and change partners for a week. They give the virus an ideal time window to spread thoroughly.

Scuttle this typhoid Mary!

Some HK citizens left the ship and flew back to HK. HongKong is a miraculous place where, gov says, coronavirus is already contained - while citizens are still being infected and dying from the virus, and lots of people are still entering from mainland China! What a miracle!

Way to go Japan. Just as reckless as Cambodia.

More than 5,400 people had been asked to self-quarantine in California alone as of Feb. 14,

On today’s Episode of how to totally fuck up a quarantine : Japan Oh and Good Luck with those Olympic Games that no other country wanted 😂

cdrsalamander If my own 10-day 2015 cruise on that ship was typical(Demographics:Old AF), they're doing good. We had to turn back to Kobe 10 mins after sailing to offload the first casualty. I'd predicted more at check-in and was not disappointed.

Two passengers in their 80s.

I have a feeling the heavy load of odoriferous fecal matter we're being told is about to impact the rotating air-displacement device at high speeds.

This epidemic is super-serious! This is why the world must collaborate to quickly find a vaccine or a cure. There is no time to stand aloof and say 'this isn't my problem'. It is our problem now! StopCovid19Now

What the hell is comapny of this ship doing tho?

Is it the two elderly married Brits who wouldn't leave ship apart from each other.

The Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare cannot recognize the biologic danger area. The Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare cannot recognize the biologic dangerous area.

UK takes no action while this is UK flag ship.

When? Moments before or moments after they unloaded everyone off the boat and sent the off to wherever they wished?

I hope the passengers were put in an additional 14 day quarantine if they came in contact. We must stop this!!

And yet Japan still maintains that every case originated from China, as opposed to what we know--that those helpless people were forced into a petri dish!

DAIAMOND PRINCE is belong to UK.

Thats only a 3/10 of 1% death rate. If that holds, it may be good news which demonstrates patients getting good treatment have a much higher survival rate when compared to the 4.6% death rate in china.

and we evacuated the rest?

Cruise ships for sale!

JFC. 😥😥

Still would like more coverage on the alleged “KILLER FLU” here in the states please. All I see is Corona virus 🦠 nothing much about the flu that is killing more than this is

Who was overseeing this quarantine? Why no interviews with the ship's doctor? Is it true the staff was not under quarantine thru-out? Today, China admits aerosol transmission of virus. Who would've guessed. But yes, yes: 'we're so much smarter than we were during SARS'.

katherineOma If we have to rely on this administration to contain this virus, we’re screwed. They haven’t been able to do anything that wasn’t completely screwed up!

Don’t worry it’s not that dangerous🙄

I can't help wondering whether they were sick BEFORE they were quarantined for 2 weeks...or whether being trapped in a failed quarantine killed them.

Doctor car.

Two deaths confirmed in Qom, Iran. Schools closed tomorrow

Good job with that thermometer, nurse radchet.

Very sad!

No one mentions Dengue fever in the Caribbean

Going onto a floating coffin tanker in times of pandemic apocalypse, you know, just for FUN. Focking geniuses deserve what they got.

andylancaster whoa

Wishes them Rest in perfect peace 🙏 😢

starlightgeek Stop. It IS bad, but not flu kills tons of people bad. Yet. Wash your damn hands, don’t frikking cough on other people. And GET YOUR DAMN FLU SHOT. Now.

Time to get those people off the damn ship and into a hospital...

love 2 ride in the doctor car

thenewsjunkie I hope they get their money back!

They need to be in a Hospital

japan is contemporary medieval state.

Did they die on that ship?

Because we r not being told the truth! Per National Geographic article 20% get some sort of permanent organ damage. With re infection..and YES you can get the Coronavirus AGAIN..then the risk rises for cardiac arrest. That’s why quarantines are happening! corvid19 coronavirus

Wait didn't 14 day quarantine just end also?

Understand coronavirus from virologists to get rid of anxiety and false infromation. ‘corona’ simply means crown. When you look at the virus through an electron microscope, it has these projections called S-spikes that look kind of crown-like.

not surprising
