Keep snacks drinks in cabin. I hope others are being cared for too How much extra? People on this cruise would need at least 14 days extra supply. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously - this is just silly. Unless you have definitive proof of this, it’s just silly to share it. I know someone who works in a hospital that is caring for people with this disease. Word is that it IS very contagious, but in most people it’s much like having a cold or the flu. The people dying are people who already had serious health conditions before getting the virus.

Thanks for trying to add balance. Some of the posts on this thread are beyond ridiculous and it seems that even something simple in their everyday life would tip them over the edge. Fortunately now though it is easy to identify which posts should just be ignored. It appears that there are some that have no interest in other than scaremongering and convincing themselves that the world is about to end. Rant over. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So of they're negative now, they'll be negative They're not testing only those with symptoms presumably the last 10 passengers were mixing with the rest last week. So testing will need to be repeated in 5 /7 days .. if there are more positive cases quarantine may have to be reset and extended. Crew may be passing the virus. It will be very difficult to limit all contact. How are they doing laundry for instance. Presumably most passengers were going home with little clean laundry.

Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted February 5, 2020 #318 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Anyone else notice that threads on other social media sites are disappearing? I was following a thread last night from a lady currently onboard and the entire conversation has been deleted. I'm thankful CC has allowed the links to Davids videos to stay, but someone may want to tell him to create his own youtube account where the images can't be deleted. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I'm just heartbroken for the passengers with medical conditions requiring medications that they may not have enough of. I hope Princess can figure out a way to resolve that. As long as the medication is approved in Japan they should be able to go through the medical center and get perscriptions filled. Since they have phone and internet they can contact their physician/pharmacy and get a copy of their perscription. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare terry&mike Posted February 5, 2020 #321 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I disembarked the Diamond Princess on January 20 in Yokohama, with my group of 29 clients, after an awesome 14 day sailing from Singapore to Tokyo. All flew back to their homes in US between January 20 and January 25. Now that the news of the ship quarantine is surfacing, and that the infected man boarded on January 20, I am fielding some inquiries from my clients in regards to their health concerns. I am focusing on the positive that our group was on the sailing before this one, thank goodness. But I do have great sympathy for the crew we befriended while on board, and for the passengers who are stuck there. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know someone who works in a hospital that is caring for people with this disease. Word is that it IS very contagious, but in most people it’s much like having a cold or the flu. The people dying are people who already had serious health conditions before getting the virus. Not all people developing serious cases have preexisting conditions. Clearly there are groups that can be considered high risk This group are similar to those fpr the flu. The current stat show about 25% of cases turn serious. These include healthy adults. Since tmild cases often go unreported one can expect the 25% to be an upper boundary and the actual number to be somewhat lower. As with other new strains there is no preexisting immunity so there can be serious cases in otherwise healthy adults. Similar to a recent flu strain where many of the serious cases tended to be healthy young adults because they had never been exposed to that strain before, unlike those over 60 having been exposed in previous outbreaks. fear mongering is not good, but neither is dismissing potential risk. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
