Quarantining them has to be one of more bone headed actions and then while our Gov't evacuates our people out of China, they let them incubate in a cruise ship..........~50 cases in Japan not associated with that ship. Wonder if anyone will ever use that ship again.....1st death in France
I don't think it was our idea to keep the passengers Quarantined. Japan would not let them off the ship. We made special arraignment. We have a plane that is either there or on the way to transport those ( American Citizens ) that want to come home will be transported tonight.
Apparently the rest of those on board will have to stay. The other countries could care less about their people....
Forty infected Americans among cruise ship evacuees
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-51524460Forty Americans being taken off the quarantined cruise ship Diamond Princess are infected with new coronavirus, a US official says.
They are among 400 people from the US leaving the vessel docked in Japan.
Most are due to depart for the US on two government-chartered aircraft. But those carrying the virus will be admitted to Japanese hospitals.
Meanwhile, China has tightened restrictions on movement in Hubei province, the centre of the outbreak.
