wuhan flu is like rabies. with rabies you start foaming at the mouth and try to bite people. with wuhan flu you immediately get the urge to go on a cruise.
This was reported yesterday. They tested 273 people out of about 4,000 (obviously the ones they were most worried about). 212 came back negative, but these 61 came back positive (and they were removed). At this point, the ship has another 10 to 11 days of lockdown (I assume meaning that they’ll be released if no more infections).
We’ll see how it goes, but cruise companies are quickly finding that their boats are no longer welcome around Asia, as Japan’s case, though it seems small, is still huge strain on them...so why take anymore boats?
I have heard that this virus only affects Asians. At first, I said that that isn’t possible, but then I heard it from another source. I can’t Google it because you get pages full of “People are being racist towards Asians”, etc. Has anyone else heard this?

The medical staff of that cruise ship took everyone’s temperature initially WITHOUT A DISPOSABLE TIP.
They spread the virus possibly to everyone on board...
Me and the wife have discussed taking a vacation cruise, but honestly, the risks seem awful high. They are floating petri dishes.
