Dr. Anthony Fauci talks about the impact of coronavirus on the United States.
He also talks about the evacuation of Americans from a quarantined cruise ship in Japan.
What criticisms have been made about the handling of the situation on the ship?
On February 3rd, Princess Cruises announced that 10 passengers aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship had tested positive for novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). Over the next several days, this number would skyrocket, with more than 40 Americans and hundreds of others testing positive for the virus. The Diamond Princess has been quarantined off the coast of Yokohama, Japan since February 4th, with passengers and crew confined to their cabins.
This outbreak has raised concerns about the potential spread of the virus on board the ship, as well as the ability of quarantine measures to contain its spread. Despite the Japanese government’s assurances that the quarantine was effective and that the virus was being contained, many passengers and their families have criticized the handling of the situation. Some have even called for the evacuation of American citizens from the ship.
The situation on board the Diamond Princess is especially concerning given that two elderly passengers who were diagnosed with the virus earlier this week have since died. At least one of them had preexisting health conditions that likely made them more vulnerable to the virus. Other passengers suffering from health issues have expressed alarm about their ability to receive medical care while quarantined on the ship.
As of February 11th, over 3,700 passengers and crew remain on board the Diamond Princess, with another 170 American citizens expected to be evacuated and repatriated in the coming days. The situation remains fluid and is being closely monitored by health officials around the world.
This outbreak highlights the importance of effective quarantine measures and the need for governments and health organizations to work together to contain the virus. It also underscores the potential risks associated with international travel and the need for individuals to take precautions, such as practicing good hygiene and avoiding large crowds, to reduce their risk of exposure.
As the world continues to grapple with the ongoing outbreak of novel coronavirus, it is essential that we stay vigilant, informed, and prepared to take the necessary steps to protect ourselves, our communities, and our global health.
