A cruise ship with nearly 300 passengers and crew was ordered quarantined in the Caribbean port of St. Lucia after a case of measles was confirmed on board, island health officials said Wednesday.
One female crew member has a confirmed case and St. Lucian authorities said they've been working in close consultation with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA).
The ship has been under quarantine since Monday morning, officials said.
"Measles in a highly contagious disease. Anyone who is not adequately immunized against measles can contract the disease, if there has been close contact with a confirmed case," according to a statement issued Wednesday by Dr. Merlene Fredericks-James, the island nation's chief medical officer.
"It is therefore likely that other persons on the boat may have been exposed."
St. Lucian officials declined to name the ship involved.
"The ship’s doctor has the confirmed case in isolation on the ship," Dr. Fredericks-James said. "The individual is in stable condition."
That’s 21 days of their lives they’ll never get back.
seasles - Measles at sea
The media is blaming the kids not vaccinated but it could be illegals coming from other countries.
The ship will make it fun for them. The food and drink will be plentiful and all for free. I’d love this myself.
Are they stuck in their own cabins for those 21 days?
Now THAT is a measles party!
Do they stay and get to do an extended port call, or are they (more likely) locked up on the boat?
Free drinks all around?
Measles? Stable condition? Got drama?
They dna test measles to assist in backtracking cases so as to identify and quarantine the exposed.
The recent outbreaks in NY, WA and OR were tracked to Ukraine and imported by unvaxxed child travelers.
Apparently the cruise line doesn’t insist on proof of vaccination from job applicants/employees?
If so, some lawyers are gonna make it regret that...
This is now a full on propaganda campaign by the doctor liberal axis
This propaganda about vaccines and measles in particular is nothing new
they’ve tried it many times Ie. H1N1. Flu every year
for some unknown reason they’re trying measles now which is a pathetic disease it doesn’t hurt hurt or kill anybody really. It’s like chicken pox m
It’s all about money and it’s all about getting the public used to the idea of sticking needles in your body that cost money that they tell you you need to do. Vaccines are ineffective at best - harmful in many cases
You can combatv. at all these internal illnesses caused by viruses and bacteria using colloidal silver.
I highly suggest you keep it in your body a good concentration is it all time and will simply ward off infective single celled organisms
Which all viruses and bacteria are
Fighting parasitic Illness is a constant process
Viruses , little bits of DNA , are everywhere around you -in the air the water they circle through the atmosphere
The key with any of these pathogens is to never let them get any concentration in your body
The silver ion is the key ion for this purpose
The jury is not out
there is no debating it
the reason why nobody really talks about it is it’s free. Yes free.
All you need is 3 9V batteries , distilled water and two silver electrodes
( You can also buy bottles of it for $100).
Cheers !
Truth over power .
Importing third world diseases ...
I'm sure they're confined to the cruise ship. Although there are worse places for this to happen than St. Lucia.
Indeed!
Sounds like a rash decision.
That’s 21 days of some of the best food you will ever eat.
