“Yikes. I’m thinking they need to quarantine them all 14 days PAST the last confirmation.”
I was thinking the same...there’s no law that says viruses must strike all people at the same time on a ship, and the Japan evacuation showed half of the people who tested positive didn’t even have symptoms.
“I presume they are confined to their rooms to minimize the spread.”
They are now, but weren’t initially...oh well.

SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – A fifth person who was evacuated from the Wuhan region of China and brought to Marine Corps Air Station Miramar was hospitalized Thursday after developing symptoms that warranted further observation for possible exposure to the deadly coronavirus.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the patient — described only as an adult — “developed a fever or a cough” that prompted the precautionary hospitalization. The person was taken to UC San Diego Health.
Four other people, including a 4-year-old girl, were hospitalized Wednesday afternoon, hours after a plane carrying 167 Americans landed at the northern San Diego military base. All of the passengers underwent medical screening upon landing.
