fabdug Posted April 6, 2020 #276 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Yes, that could be true. Pax in cabin opposite me was sick and had to remain on board. He wife was with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcummin Posted April 6, 2020 #277 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Considering the time involved on ms Zaandam, some of those showing symptoms could have recovered and become fit to travel. This would complicate any attempt to justify numbers. Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appears that Rotterdam is still going out late tonight (well, it's late for me. I'm on the left coast). Does anyone, @Copper10-8 perhaps, have any updated information? Still 22h22 -- but as mentioned previously, PEV uses 11h11 (for am) and 22h22 (for pm) as placeholder times, so interpret with caution.

I don't know who you are but almost all the regular HAL folks on this forum know that I'm a pilot (airplane, not harbor). So all of my computers, my phones, etc, are set for 24-hour time. I just naturally think in 24-hour time. And I'd already been using that link for many years. That's how I knew that Rotterdam's departure time was still set for late tonight. It's been that way almost since she arrived. And we all know that, whenever she departs, her destination is NOT Puerto Vallarta. That's why I believe that the schedule may not have been updated recently and..most importantly...that's why I tagged Copper John. I was looking for some substantive information.

Or if it was your number a lot more were crew. the above was a statement from HAl on thursday April 2nd and this did not include the 15 or so that were rotterdam with symptoms. So where did the 107 + passengers that were sick go to? This does Not include their travel partners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It said that they have reported like symptoms during the voyage. I don't think that the 107 was an additional number. Some of these passengers may have become absorbed in the 1,211 "Expected Fit For Travel." See the following.

I don't think that 107 number was intended to be added to the 1,237 total passengers. Any other ideas? Edited April 6, 2020 by Tampa Girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay so based on this information the 107 passengers that were ill on Thursday April 2nd (not including their travel partners that were in same cabin with them) only 26 remain on the ship +13 receiving shoreside care in hospitals - the other 68 people and their travel partners were all allowed to disembark and fly or drive home on Friday April 3rd and Sat April 4th even though they were sick 1 or 2 days before. Even with mild symptoms they should have stayed onboard or been sent somewhere to quarantine. Just more people out there exposing others as they traveled back home. Does that make sense and sound like it was a good plan of action? Not good in my opinion. I did not say the 107 was added to the total passengers.

HAL did not say that 107 passengers remained ill on Thursday April 2nd. They said that during the voyage 107 had become symptomatic of influenza but that they were largely mild cases.. It was not stated that all 107 were still symptomatic. It was never stated that the other 68 (your number) and their travel partners were all allowed to disembark. Where did you get that information? It was stated that an expected 1,211 might be fit to travel. All symptomatic passengers were to remain on board until the CDC cleared them. You have not pointed to any evidence that HAL allowed passengers to disembark who would not have passed CDC clearance, other than your concerted attempt to create such.

Let's just hope that all those passengers with or without symptoms did not pass the virus onto anyone else while traveling home.

The water company is digging up my street this morning. I looked out and nobody is wearing a mask. The two cops monitoring traffic seem to be staying far apart. But the workers are less than 3 feet apart while they're digging at the hole to the water main (or taking a coffee break). Yes, they're outside, but that doesn't change the 6-foot rule. (neither would a mask, but we're being asked to wear them) So whenever you're near someone, you don't know what they've been doing, whether they're careful or careless. Along the same lines, if you happen to go to your local drive-thru, whatever brand name/restaurant/coffee shop, etc. that might be, you'll find some where the employee is wearing a face mask and gloves, some gloves only, and some nothing at all. Go figure that one out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AIS forms part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) and is a requirement for all vessels over 300 tons on international voyages, 500 tons on non-international voyages, and all passenger ships to transmit, on VHF, information in digital form which says who they are, where they are, what sort of vessel they are and useful information like course, speed and heading 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
