I saw a 4 day cruise with an enormous suite (with a loving piano in it??) and free drink package for $1,200

Prices are dropping like crazy. I'm almost tempted to go on a cruise, except I would get coronavirus and poo poo my brains out, and be quarantined to my suite with nothing to do but play the piano and eat room service while pooping and coughing

But that's not a bad way to live, either... gently caress

Some actual literal people will take up this offer. Just-a-flu CHUDs, people with an insanely high risk tolerance, people with a death wish, maybe people who are already terminally ill? I wonder what the crowds’ll be like on cruises this summer.

Possibly people who have recovered from coronavirus, which will be super cool since people can apparently still test positive long after becoming asymptomatic

This is so loving stupid and infuriating. On Monday we had done like 2-300 tests. S. Korea is putting out like 25-35,000 tests per week or more.

Sad to report it was torpedoed by a CDC battleship. There were no survivors (but that was before the torpedo).

gently caress, not only you'd have to be on a cruise. You'd be on a cruise with people who somehow made it their political statement to be on a cruise.

Probably some other government bs at work also but this is basically red tape leading to extreme shortage of tests.

It should balance out with the people lying and saying they had no contact to get out of getting tested and keep showing up to work

It's worse than we currently think in the US. They aren't testing. They aren't tracking. They aren't properly quarantining people. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets worse here in the US than in China, except we'll have a spike in respiratory illness deaths of unknown origin, simply because we can't track them.

I wonder what the protocol is for moving a dead body from their stateroom to the morgue is. Probably middle of the night, well after the last drink is served, but before the early risers are up and about.

Quest Diagnostics announced they're going to start testing specimens for Coronavirus on Monday, so hospitals can bypass the CDC for testing altogether if they want

China pulled out a lot of stops and basically ceased production so they could quarantine and get as much as a handle on this as they could.


The US has done ???? and is very obviously trying to hide public facing expert opinion and the actual infection rate.

I honestly think that the Federal Government is going to do jack poo poo and its going to be state organizations which are going to be doing a lot of the heavy lifting.
