Cruise ships are floating incubation chambers


Coronavirus: 
thousands more cruise 
passengers might have 
been exposed to deadly 
infection

Rick Wiles, “Doc” Burkhardt and Edward Szall discuss what is involved when thousands are chek-by-jowl on a cruise liner that has sailed four times since someone got sick with coronavirus on board.


They neglect only to describe what happens when these carriers of the virus go ashore and potentially spread the virus far-and-wide
This is the article they cite


Thousands more people than previously thought might have been exposed to the deadly coronavirus, after a cruise line admitted one of its ships had sailed four times since carrying eight mainland Chinese passengers infected with the disease.


The revelation sparked fears of a wider outbreak in Hong Kong, and came the day after three crew members were hospitalised following the vessel’s return to the city.

Hong Kong health officials said they were yet to contact about 200 passengers who took the same trip with the eight patients and disembarked in the city. They also appealed to about 5,000 passengers on the subsequent trips to call their hotline if they felt unwell.

On Thursday, almost 4,000 passengers and crew remained trapped on the World Dream at Kai Tak Cruise Terminal after it was turned away from Taiwan following the discovery it had carried the infected group during a January cruise between Hong Kong and Vietnam.

The 1,800 passengers, including 1,600 from Hong Kong and others from Britain, Australia, Canada, Taiwan, Macau and elsewhere, together with most of the other 1,800 crew members, were all still on the ship, which left the city on Sunday for its latest voyage, and was boarded by Department of Health officials on its return on Wednesday morning.


1400 aboard with 
Coronavirus Symptoms! 
Turned away from 3 Ports!


7 February, 2020
The Holland America Line (HAL) cruise ship MS Westerdam has been trying to dock but has told potential ports there are about 1400 passengers with symptoms of Coronavirus on board. Three ports have DENIED the vessel permission to dock.

The ship was previously denied entry to the Philippines and Japan, and is now being turned away from Guam.

No word yet on where it will try to land next, but they have confirmed they have 1,400 showing signs of the coronavirus, and were denied docking today at a port in Guam.

Guam in a press release says they simply can not care for 1,400 infected; they lack the capacity to.

Cruise Ship With 
Symptomatic People 
DOCKING IN NEW JERSEY


7 February, 2020


A cruise ship with "numerous" people who have symptoms of Corona virus, is dociking in Bayonne, New Jersey, just outside New York City this morning.


People with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the New Jersey Department of Health are on the docks and will take those folks for testing and Quarantine.

These people may simply have some "bug." It may not be Corona Virus.
If not, no harm.

If so, then the virus will have arrived in the most densely populated state in America (New Jersey) and right outside the country's biggest city, New York.

(Hal Turner Remark: Bayonne is just a few miles from where I live.)

Stay tuned.

UPDATE

They had FIVE PORT CALLS not including NY/NJ

(1/27) New York, New Jersey
(1/30)San Juan, Puerto Rico
1/31) Phillipsburg, Saint Maarten Island, Dutch Antilles
(2/1) St.Johns, Antigua
(2/2) Castries, Saint Lucia Island
(2/3) Basseterre, Port Zanta, St. Kitts Island
(2/7) New York, New Jersey
