We will find out what religious cult allowed this idiot to shoot make and shoot weapons and the law will go after them.

We know which cult it is; Unification Church.

The AP have reported that it is The Unification Church (The Moonies). Hard to deny now when the most respected news agency says it.

It's a matter of how deaths are being recorded. My wife's aunt had been in hospital since June with a seperate condition. She then caught coronavirus in the hospital and recently passed away. The cause of death was recorded as the original condition and not that of Covid-19. I wonder how often this has been happening?

Agreed, people are actually enjoying their “face-coverings”.

If you had not noticed, people in Japan have gladly worn masks for years.

Tokyo is likely to see coronavirus cases top 280 on Thursday, Governor Yuriko Koike said, in what would mark a record daily high for the Japanese capital.

"It's still incomplete, but I'm hearing that the number will be above 280," Koike told reporters, noting that the metropolis was conducting more than 4,000 tests on Thursday.

If you read through it, it sounds like possibilities to me. Nothing more.

Think for yourself, don't be sheep!

Think for yourself?!! With what information? Shall I estimate that there were just 123 cases today then? Does the information sound like baseless possibilities to you?

Let's all just think for ourselves and make up our own facts! Don't be sheep; be even stupider than that!

@Kazuaki Shimazaki,

There are certainly legal issues surrounding the keeping of people on the ship for an extended period. But every other country is requiring that all passengers undergo further quarantine, except Japan. The two weeks they have been under quarantine started on February 5th but the possibility of secondary infections taking place right up until the moment the left the ship is extremley high. There it is incredibly risky to release them back into the public. Japan would rather save face that save lives.

@Akie, I am sorry but you just have to admit that Japan failed. It seems that saving face is more important than saving lives. If you had tested and removed everyone from the start you would have only had a few cases. Now it is over 500!

"The quarantine was largely for passengers because crew members kept sharing double rooms and continued to serve guests by delivering food, letters, towels and amenities, and entering passenger cabins for cleaning. Crew members also ate in groups in a crew mess hall."

The above quote from elsewhere on JapanToday shows us the true failure of this quarantine!

The quarantine was largely for passengers because crew members kept sharing double rooms and continued to serve guests by delivering food, letters, towels and amenities, and entering passenger cabins for cleaning. Crew members also ate in groups in a crew mess hall.

Who on earth decided that this was ok? The company certainly takes some responsibility for deciding to continue the cruise in a 'business as usual' manner while in quarantine, but surely the authorities here should have followed stricter rules. Although this sentence put at the end of the article, it is clearly one of the primary reasons for the failure of this quarantine. Classic Japanese indecision at work!

@Akie, the failure was the management of the quarantine on the ship. If it had been done correctly, then it would have probably worked. The idea of doing the quarantine was fine but they failed to do it correctly. @Alex80 would have had the cruise company Carnival handle it because they would have done a better job than the Japanese government.

@Akie, Did you watch the professor's video? Of course, you didn't. He did not make up fake information, but he did criticise Japan's handling of the situation. Therefore, as no one is ever allowed to criticise Japan, he must be wrong.

Japan did what it did and, unfortunately, it failed. I am not happy to say that, but almost all oversers say so. It wasn't a terrible idea to keep passengers on the ship, but the measures taken onboard were not sufficient to keep people safe and stop the virus spreading. Saving face is not more important than saving lives. This exactly what China is realising.

Alex80, I was making a joke about where the ship is built! Of course it's not important where the ship was built, just as it's not important in this situation what company owns the ship. You also avoided the question. Do you think the company Carnival should have managed the quarantine?

0 ( +3 / -3 )

Posted in: Experts ponder why cruise ship quarantine failed to prevent spread of virus See in context

@Alex80, do you think Carnival should decide whether or not to have a quarantine? And that they should manage it? You would let a cruise ship company be responsibile for managing the potential outbreak of an infectious disease in a country? If you think about it carefully , you will notice there is no logic to it.
