Weren’t some of the earliest detected covid cases on a cruise ship? I believe they were. Now another unknown illness. On a cruise ship. Hm.
See my reply #26.
Came back from a cruise on 26 Jan ‘00. Hospitalized with ‘undiagnosed coronavirus’ (plus influenza A, pneumonia and a heart attack) on 02 Feb ‘00. Negative tests on all the coronaviruses they had tests for. Very hard to breathe and oxygen was only a marginal benefit. Symptoms matched covid tho. The hospital threw everything at it (7 IV meds). They cleared it in 5 days. Then they gave me a quad bypass to assist damaged organ healing. Thank G! this was before the Covid Protocols came out.
Still liked the cruise tho.
Still cruising. Just came back from one last month, similar dates to the ‘00 cruise. And look, it’s 02 Feb and I’m ok -so far, lol.
