There is a prisoner in England who has the virus and had been in prison for several weeks there before presenting the illness. He did not get it in China as he has not been there. He got it in a Taiwanese prison. Taiwan says they have 18 infected. I would tell you countries have decided to not cause panic by sharing real numbers.
India says they have 3 cases but have supposedly sent a couple of thousand home to self quarantine. Do they have the ability to even test? I saw the cell phone map of 50,000 of the 5mil who left Wuhan for the Chinese New Year. Every country has a huge problem. Those people have been staying in hotels or with relatives. Wuhan before the Chinese New Year was the perfect place to set this thing off whether on accident or purpose.
I expected to have someone challenge me on the cruise ship.
IMO < the cruise ship does not represent a normal person to person in a public arena type situation.
If you wish to count it in as something that is a typical type of event that will be repeated over and over, you certainly can.
I don’t think of most people as being trapped in a situation day after day with infectious people in a closed environment.
It doesn’t work for me, but if it does for you, that’s okay by me.
As for the other situations, I don’t know what to say really. This could be an internationally agreed to protocol.
It’s above my pay grade.
