This won't be classified as 'international conveyance'. Australia won't try to downplay COVID19 and they certainly won't pay $10 million to WHO.

Why are people still getting on to cruise ships?

@shogun:

Why are people still getting on to cruise ships?

I don´t think right now anyone is. The travel, tourism, and hotel industries are practically dead.

Which leads to an interesting scenario coming up soon: Soon, these industries will ask for bailouts, and governments will be under pressure to provide them, to protect jobs and infrastructure. And guess which political leader has a background in the hotel ndustry? You see where this is going, right? Lots of triggered people ahead.

I pray scientists and doctors find a vaccine soon.

I understand they have vaccines already, but testing these things always takes a long time. Because you don´t want mass application of a faulty product.

Treatments, on the other hand, will come very soon.

Australian Government led by Scotty Shambles has closed all restaurants and cafes {take out OK }, shut all pubs and clubs {bottle shop still open } , shut down access to most city beaches {including Bondi }, banned any Australians leaving the country, banned any foreign arrivals, closed the borders between states, cancelled events like The Royal Easter Show , the ANZAC commemorations, closed Churches etc, rationed food to stem hoarding......

Crikey !

This is "Level ONE Restrictions !!!!

Anything to jab at Japan; close but no cigar.

"Internationally conveyance" was a designation by the WHO, not Japan.

Nice try though.

I read they let a bunch of cruise ship passengers disembark in sydney over the weekend, so it seems that the govts know full well what they are doing and their intent is obvious.

Spread the media hype , Infect, lock down, control impose new rules, make everyone submit, Agneda what number was it please refresh my recollection of it.
