BREAKING: U.S. CDC investigating "small cluster" of coronavirus cases linked to previous journey of the Grand Princess cruise ship, company says

Current passengers of the Grand Princess cruise ship who were also on board during the previous journey are required to stay in their stateroom until they are cleared by medical staff, company says

Princess says the Grand Princess cruise ship has canceled its call at Ensenada, Mexico, and will sail directly to San Francisco. The ship will arrive on Thursday afternoon.

Here we go again...but this time it appears at least some got off the ship infected

[Sarah Barracuda]

This cruise ship went from San Francisco to Mexico..heard Mexico has some cases close the border..oh wait is that racist

[proust]

The cruise ship made a previous trip before the quarantined trip. No one on that previous trip was quarantined, they just went out into the world. I’ve been waiting for that shoe to drop.

‘Grand Princess’ cruiseline 🛳 - sick #COVID19 Placer County patient departed from San Francisco to Mexico between Feb 11 and 22. Another Sonoma County coronavirus patient was also on same🛳. CA epidemic & cruise ship epidemic all-in-1

Gosh. Don't they decontaminate the ship between cruises?

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

the story is confusing to me so went to see more details:

Hey
@PrincessCruises
do you plan on at some point informing your passengers on the Grand Princess that a confirmed #coronavirus case was a passenger on the ship when it sailed from SF to Mexico before heading to Hawaii? How about the crew? Just wondering.

This is the letter given to people on board the Grand Princess cruise ship

This virus has been around a couple months before anyone knew what it was. It has spread far and wide. Just stay out of public places and wash your hands often.

Yes, I may have gotten it mixed up with another cruise. There’s a timeline of Princess Cruise events here

Gosh. Don’t they decontaminate the ship between cruises?

Funny,about as well as they Decontam an airliner between flights, as in poorly

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Nice...skip port-of-call in Ensenada and head straight to San Francisco. We appreciate that a lot.

They are providing free internet service. How big of them.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

“Poorly”? I wish it was poorly. It’s not at all. Picking up used newspapers doesn’t count as “decontamination.”

[dangus]

I wonder if you round up 100,000 Washington-staters, or 100,000 Koreans or 100,000 Californians or 100,000 Italians at random, how many cases of coronavirus you’d find. My bet is you’d find several among people with no known ties to any identified person. Wouldn’t be shocked if you’d find zero, but I also wouldn’t be shocked if you found HUNDREDS or even THOUSANDS.

[Bell Bouy II]

I was trying to be nice, your correct.
Not at all-time is money and it takes time to do it well. Nope cant have that

Published BY ME just a few hours earlier:

“So how did it spread through the Diamond Princess? Well, I’m not privy to any inside information, but coronaviruses are colds. Colds take a long while before they cause symptoms. My guess is that nCov had swept through the ship BEFORE the quarantine.”

[Myrddin]

Corona viruses include SARS, MERS and COVID-19. There are Corona viruses that are inconsequential colds. COVID-19 is more contagious than SARS or MERS and inflicts multiple organ damage. WHO just announced that worldwide, COVID-19 has a CFR of 3.4%. Compare than to common flu at 0.9%. It's not common flu or a cold.

“They are providing free internet service. How big of them.”

That will result in an average access rate of 110 baud. Remember those handset modems of the 1980s!!

>> Corona viruses include SARS, MERS and COVID-19. There are Corona viruses that are inconsequential colds <<

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

>> COVID-19 is more contagious than SARS or MERS and inflicts multiple organ damage. <<

Among certain people.

>> WHO just announced that worldwide, COVID-19 has a CFR of 3.4%. Compare than to common flu at 0.9%. It’s not common flu or a cold. <<

The worst flu seasons often are only 0.6% actually. But then the flu typically spreads to 10s of millions. COVID-19 seems terribly impotent by comparison, fortunately.

1 death in CA just announced from this cruise

The commie Chinese failed to inform the rest of the world when this thing first broke out. They thought they could cover up and contain. By the time they couldn’t hide it any longer, the virus had already been distributed beyond China’s borders. Commie @astards
