so this is widespread in cambodia too now? Swell- how did it get there so fast that it’s infecting people just visiting there?
Haven’t they noticed that the incubation period is now being discussed as 21 to 24 days?
That cruise ship that docked in Bayonne, New Jersey? They let them go after 12 days. Couldn’t even wait until 14.
Good point.
What he gets for trying to shuffle these people out to other countries
That husband ( testing “ negative”) and wife were both symptomatic when they stepped off the aircraft in Malaysia...about a 1-2 hour flight
Meanwhile 144 other people shared their air supply, and now they are all scattered and heading home on other airliners.
[[They allowed a ship with no port to dock.]]
Just watched ‘The Firm’ tonight, and in it he talked about being a ‘ship with no port’ lol
It’s a Holiday in Cambodia!
Good song.
Any comments from John Kerry?
That cruise ship that docked in Bayonne, New Jersey? They let them go after 12 days. Couldn’t even wait until 14.
No, couldn’t even wait 12 days...
The Bayonne, NJ ship did NOT wait 12 days. They (those except a few who had symptoms) were immediately released, into the wide, open world of travel...
....Passengers started exhibiting symptoms while traveling to New Jersey from the Bahamas. Davis posted on Twitter that four people were taken to the hospital for further screening. He told local news outlet WNBC that Newark’s University Hospital has negative-pressure isolation rooms.
Those who weren’t taken to the hospital were released, according to Davis’ tweet...
Plague ping
“so this is widespread in cambodia too now?”
No, I think she might be the 2nd case.
Thanks for the mention...
Even worse. Much worse.
Problem is, 99 percent of people don’t get it.
I’m sure I read somewhere, on FR I think, that they waited 12 days for everyone on the ship.
Thanks for the link.
See Jane Long’s comment #13.
i read the excerpt wrong, (that’s what happens when i speed read uggh) I thought it said she and 144 other passengers were suspected of having it-
