The Grand Princess has some passengers who appear infected.  The ship is off the coast of California.  I am very glad that I'm not cruising right now (and that I don't own stock in Princess!

That's terrible. Hope they separate the sick from not to control it. There are a lot more cases than I thought. I think the news media is being told not to talk about it much.

There will be a show on CNN tonight with Anderson Cooper & Sanjay Gupta at 11 pm eastern discussing the Coronavirus.

Search John Hopkins Coronavirus Interactive Map to see the real picture. It's in real time.

Looks like CNN changed the time to 10pm eastern.

I'm recording 9pm-11pm to make sure I get it so I can watch it.

We have 2 cruises booked this year.  One out of Port Canaveral (Orlando) the weekend after Easter.  The second is with the BF's son and 4 grandkids from Charleston at Thanksgiving.

Waiting to see what happens.

This virus is becoming so pervasive, I wonder how long it will be before they give up on quarantines?

Don't think they can do that. You have to get control of it or it will just keep spreading.

@Nightowlz    It seems to be rapidly spreading even with quarantines.  There seems to be no way they can catch all the potential germs.

The one fatality that we've had in California is a man who was a passenger on that ship in late Februrary.

They would probably be better off if they had some place else for the people on the cruise ship to be quarantined. They need a place for the infected & a separate place for the ones they are watching.

I don't know how they can contain it on a cruise ship with people so close together.

@cindyNC   I'd cancel! Even with cancellation insurance you get more back if cancelled early.

I think I would go nuts (even more so) stuck in a small cruise ship room.  I have been on one cruise and have no desire to go again.  Our room was so small.  I felt like I could not breathe.
