The number of cases on the quarantined Diamond Princess tripled, as the death toll from the virus in China surpassed 600.
Japanese officials said on Friday that 61 people had tested positive for the coronavirus on a quarantined cruise ship in Yokohama, a steep increase from the 20 confirmed cases on Thursday.
Officials have screened 273 passengers they said were potentially exposed to the virus. The 41 new patients were to be taken off the ship for medical treatment.
More than 2,000 passengers on the Diamond Princess ship have been stuck inside their cabins for days as part of a two-week quarantine. Meals have been irregular, and only on Thursday were small groups finally permitted to go outside and breathe some fresh air.
“I keep hearing painful coughs from a foreigner in a nearby room,” one passenger wrote on Twitter on Thursday, noting with concern that crew members were delivering meals from room to room. “I might get infected today or tomorrow.”

FR is starting to resemble the loony left and their end of the work proclamations about climate change. All backed by ‘science’ of course.
Calenel, my apologies for posting to the wrong person. I’m sorry, sanjuanbob.
Yeah, I tried ordering some bio masks a week after this started and no luck.
I have 20-40 N95 but from what I have read (and not here on FR, exact opposite) the N95 is not as efficient as the bio masks in trapping viral.
I believe this because if they were, hospitals would be using N95s instead of bios.
This is important to me right now because I am going thru lyme disease treatment and my immune system is effed up bigly.
Fake news based upon total speculation.
Dang, try again Chicom.
Give you a hint, it is in Californification and is full of libtards and retards.
Sorry retards in other parts of the country but can't take a chance.
Bioweapon or not, in SoCA HiDesert, about 50%-80% of everybody I’ve observed in the last 2 weeks have had a new cold, shows symptoms of extreme exhaustion for about 3 days, then appears to be over, then hits again in about a week, for a day or so, extreme exhaustion and cough/post nasal drip, etc.
No nausea, no diarhea, just exhaustion and cough.
This week, nearly 50% of workforce called in sick.
Nobody really pays attention until they’ve had it for about 3 weeks. Everybody seems to have the cough, maybe coughs 5 times-10 times a day,..but known to be there.
With the news of coronavirus, people are a lot more hygiene conscious.
Only the person who WROTE THE BIO WEAPONS ACT
that was PASSED BY BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS!
... beyond that, why suspect it is a Bio Weapons virus,
since my NBC news tells me do not worry.
LMAO
And by the way, could you please provide a reference to every letter of every word of your last sentence.
Well, no.
“Of course it will spread through the ventilation system.”
And kitchen and food delivery staff.
Yes, we should have reasonably decent numbers in six months.
I doubt we will.
Corona with lyme. Don't do that!
And from the MSM?
Crickets.
Why attack there? There aren't many Americans!
“A Royal Caribbean cruise ship scheduled to dock in Bayonne, New Jersey, early Friday has at least a dozen Chinese nationals on board in isolation who will be tested for coronavirus, a source familiar with the ship said.”
Every friggen time we sailed an underway trip half the damn ship came down with one bug or another. 70 guys all jamming the sh!tters simultaneously or hugging the rail doing the techni~color yawn.
These cruises are great fun!
Here's hoping they stay slight.
So do you guys think this is going to ravage the US like it is currently doing in Wuhan? I just don’t think they’re being serious enough about stopping travel. Also, absolutely zero updates on the known cases in the US?
Here’s what I think.
1) You get the virus (possible 14 days until symptoms but able to spread it)
2) The virus takes 3 weeks to run it’s course
3) Probably contagious 2 weeks after
That’s a 1.5 ordeal per patient, assume s/he lives
Well, I can listen to you laughing at sick people.
Or I can seek experts in bio weapons & disease.
Hmm, tough choice.
You can wait until Communist China tells you the truth.
Then wait around for the USA Govt to tell you the truth.
Then wait for NBC and cable news to tell the truth.
Some people are active.
Some people are passive.
400 Million people are in lockdown now. Guangzhou is added to the quarantine
