Someone brings onboard a latent nano-virus, and suddenly half the flarging ship is SIQ because they are spewing out of both ends, <i>simultaneously</i>. The Double Dragon knows no favorites, either.<br /><br />Ask me how I know. I usually managed to dodge it by washing my hands with great regularity, but on my last deployment before I retired I got it, and it purely <i>sucked</i>.<br /><br />Confining all those people to the ship pierside like that is cruel. It guarantees that the virus spreads to everyone onboard.Unknownsailorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10384464603647986681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-83146694409661790572020-02-13T08:46:15.698-08:002020-02-13T08:46:15.698-08:00Just a thought...

He specified full coveralls, gloves, boots and hood for us observing, not performing the work. After the end of our shift, we see him in gloves and booties and street clothes walking through the job site and climbing up on deck taking radiological smears. <br /><br />He didn't need to follow the rules, "he was the professional". And he got his butt booted off site.

They should move them all, and the poor bastards in the crew too. <br /><br />https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/13/as-coronavirus-tears-through-ship-vulnerable-passengers-evacuated.html<br /><br />So, was it the Japanese Government, or the cruise line that made them stay aboard the ship? Land based quarantine would be expensive, and I bet the Japanese Government would want to get paid up front. Cruise ship lines are cheap bast-rds. Maybe both parties? <br /><br />I don't understand the logic, ONLY SIX MORE DAYS to go? People have been exposed and dropping left and right. We are up to 218 total yesterday, and how many more today? 30? 40? 50? The quarantine should be starting anew with each new case discovered. <br /><br />There are (at last report), 20 Americans with COVID-2019 on the plague ship. That is more than the number here in the entire United States. <br /><br />And Aesop, the key word is LOYAL, not psychopath. Most, but not all, psychopathic types are real loose cannons, which makes them easier to spot. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-78799575234000420662020-02-13T05:35:07.307-08:002020-02-13T05:35:07.307-08:00Never understood the logic of keeping all these pe...Never understood the logic of keeping all these people cooped up on that ship.

The toilets pretty much dump right into the ocean when not in port.<br /><br />Gilligan aside, if the virus is airborne and they're letting passengers top side for "fresh air" periodically (reports suggest they are) Then the port has already been exposed.<br /><br />I suspect Gilligan was purposely dressed as he was to "prevent panic" among the quarantined. A dick move to be sure. The state of quarantine had already provided all the necessary motivation for panic.<br /><br />I'm surprised no one has attempted jumping ship at the mention of the word "quarantine".<br /><br />Aesop's reference to the Stanford prison experiment is appropriate, and I would expect to start seeing that type of outcome on this ship before it's all over...human nature being what it is.Charles in VAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16954862938410571982noreply@blogger.com
