And the situation on the cruise ship Diamond Princess is getting out of hand. 10% of the people are diagnosed as of now.

It really was a genius who came up with the idea to quaranteen the folks in their cabins all day. Air conditioning will take care of everyone eventually.........

And then when the quarantine ends? Have some more quarantine! Hence why the US citizens on board are not happy about the plan to repatriate the healthy looking ones on commercial flights (healthy looking doesn't necessarily mean healthy, but untested. Sick people have to stay in Japan) and end up in quarantine again - or have to stay for two more weeks in Japan before being able to go home again.

Oh, and the crew wasn't quarantined yet - they get their quarantine once the boat is empty. But by then they are probably infected themselves...
