The first stupid idea was allowing people off the mercy dash planes from Wuhan to go home without quarantine and without testing them. The japanese government claimed that it didn't have the right to enforce quarantine.
The Pacific Princess passengers were forced to remain on the ship to keep them off Japanese soil.

This is the reason why U.S took steps to take the passengers off the ship:
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health
"The quarantine process failed," Fauci said. "I'd like to sugarcoat it and try to be diplomatic about it, but it failed. People were getting infected on that ship. Something went awry in the process of the quarantining on that ship. I don't know what it was, but a lot of people got infected on that ship."
Not only Republicans congressmen complaint and push to get US citizens off the ship, the experts such as Dr. Fauci, basically lost confidence with J Government .

Locking up thousands of people in a confined space, many with no fresh air, was a stupid idea. It served as a prison inside an incubator.

exactly. and yet they quarantined the diamond princess
They just keep flip flopping all over the place. Abe and his administration showing their ineptitude once again.

The people that tested positive on the flight were checked and confirmed to have the virus before boarding the flight. The reason, they were not held back from the flight was to avoid mass hysteria from the other passengers.

"Kalitta Air" was new to me. Interesting company which generally contracts for cargo transport - even livestock. I suppose no branded company would want their planes' livery splayed across the media after such an operation.

wrong, they tested positive and they made a decision to take them because they did not show serious symptoms and were isolated in the plane.
This is one of the comments.

CRUISE FROM HELL: 99 more people test positive for #coronavirus for a the total of 454 with #2019nCoV onboard the quarantined #DiamondPrincess.
These people should be evacuated off this “hot zone” and put into a safer quarantine NOW.

1) Locking up thousands of people in a confined space, many with no fresh air, was a stupid idea. It served as a prison inside an incubator.
Really and allowing 3000 untested people on the Westerdam was a better idea?
and how about allowing 14 positives on the same flight?
2) the first stupid idea was allowing people off the mercy dash planes from Wuhan to go home without quarantine and without testing them.
Get your facts straight. They were quarantine and tested. How do you explain the following story:
2 more Japanese evacuees from Wuhan infected with coronavirus:

They were quarantined and tested!

The quarantine process failed,
No it did not. Dr. Anthony Fauci, does not want to tell the truth and brutal truth is this:
The quarantine was not to protect the people on the ship. It was to protect Japan from the people on the ship.
That is the truth.
