https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/16/asia...cruise-us-evacuation-intl-hnk/index.htmlThis thing is starting to unravel. 70 more infections announced Sunday for a total of 356 cases found onboard.
If they haven't tested everybody previously, how do they know they aren’t getting sick by staying on the ship? Also, reportedly, 1000 crew have not been in quarantine and have been eating together without out masks and such. Are these the same people making/delivering meals, doing laundry?
For those that choose the evacuation flight they will get on the plane untested with other untested’s fly in close quarters for over 10 hours and spend 14 days stateside in quarantine. Sounds like a good way for a “clean” person to get sick enroute. And will couples and families be split up with already sick folks staying in Japan to hopefully recover alone.
For those refusing the flights home, after getting to within 5 days of “release” from quarantine and being able to travel, they are being told they will be tested on the 18th with results on the 21st and will be held in quarantine another 14 days Before onward travel to US. What started as a two week cruise will then be 1.5 months. Hopefully all are retirees or have nice employers. Somebody is missing a family birth or funeral with this ordeal.
Does travel insurance cover or is there an option to cover loss of income while in foreign quarantine?
I think it is clear now, these people should have been taken off to proper isolation quarantine facilities ashore and have whatever incubation clock started.
