Covid -19

Like those poor passengers aboard the cruise ship previously quanantined in Yokohama, the sister ship bound for California also has passengers infected with the Corona virus, and like the the Japanese, the Americans have stupidly placed the ship in quarantine, refusing any passengers or crew to disembark.

The infection is liable to spread, as it did previously via the air-conditioning and many more passengers are likely to get the virus, some of which may even die from it.


Families of cruise ship Britons call coronavirus quarantine a 'death sentence'

The families of Britons trapped onboard a US-bound cruise ship have blasted the decision to quarantine the vessel as a "death sentence".

The Grand Princess has been stopped from docking in San Francisco amid evidence it was the breeding ground for a cluster of nearly 20 cases of Covid-19 that had resulted in at least one death after a previous voyage.

More than 3,500 people from 54 countries were heading from Hawaii to San Francisco and are now being held off the California coast so people with symptoms can be tested for the virus.

But the worried relatives of several British nationals onboard the Grand Princess have spoken of their concern at the decision.


Lisa Egan, whose 90-year-old dad Cliff is on board, toldThe Sun: "I'm worried he won't survive if he has the virus. Keeping people on board is going to be a death sentence for many."

While passenger Jackie Bissell, of Dartford, Kent, said: "We are waiting for the ship's captain but I think he's as much in the dark as we are."

Another passenger, Sharon, 58, said she fears there may be deaths during the quarantine.

"I'm thinking more and more that this is going to end up like the Diamond Princess with hundreds getting it," she said.

"There's definitely a very good chance there could be deaths while we're in quarantine — most of the passengers are over-70s, so they're the most vulnerable.

"The longer we're on here, the more frightened and anxious we're getting. The staff are all wearing masks and run away when we try to speak to them."

On Saturday, cruise officials disclosed more information about how they think the Grand Princess outbreak occurred.

Grant Tarling, chief medical officer for Carnival Corporation, said it is believed a 71-year-old Northern California man who later died of the virus was probably sick when he boarded the ship for a February 11 cruise to Mexico.

The passenger visited the medical centre the day before disembarking with symptoms of respiratory illness, he said.

Others from several states and Canada who were on that voyage have also tested positive.

The passenger probably infected his dining room server, who also tested positive for the virus, Mr Tarling said, as did two people travelling with the man.

 

Well california shall welcome those passengers with open arms. Trudeau will keep them from returning home to Canada. 6 days ago, the 256 Canadians on the Japanese cruise ship have still not returned to Canada, even though Trudeau says they will return. The date for their return has been changed several times
