In Japan, where travelers aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship have been quarantined for over a week, the mood among passengers shifted Wednesday as dozens more people"[We] really just need to get off this boat," New York resident Guy Cerullo told ABC News in a text message.
All those infected with the disease have been brought ashore for treatment, while the other passengers remain confined to their rooms on board until the quarantine period ends, the ministry said. The Diamond Princess cruise ship is seen beside a Japanese flag as it lies at anchor while workers and officers prepare to transfer passengers who tested positive for the novel coronavirus, at Daikoku Pier Cruise Terminal in Yokohama, south of Tokyo, Japanm Feb. 12, 2020.
Approximately half of all people who were on board the Diamond Princess are from Japan, while more than 400 passengers are from the United States, according to the cruise line spokesperson. The wife in another couple on board the ship, whom ABC News interviewed earlier in the week, said her health has declined. Utah resident Karey Maniscalco said she is suffering from kidney stones but hasn't sought medical attention because"they will remove me alone from the ship and leave my husband here."
A floating coffin. Thanx China.
That s a Stephen King short novel of a nightmare situation to be in.
AmericanMOM01 Reason 30 to never embark on a cruise ship It's a flotation device for sickness and disease. Every year, every season, something calamitous occurs on one. 🚢🛳️⚓️
ship is like floating lab experiment. of course everyone on board will end up w the virus, how could they not? They s/have been allowed to dock, med personnel come on board to chk everyone out, the ill taken to hospital, the not yet ill taken for monitoring to a facility on land.
How does anyone ever get on that ship again after it’s been infested with the virus
