That includes all the passengers on the WBPC, and, I believe, the cruise just before it who tested positive (some of them after the fact).At least 255 people have tested positive on the Disney Wonder since March 1????? :O

The last positive test onboard the Wonder was May 8.
I would think so too. The CDC ratings for this week list all the Disney ships as green.Shouldn’t they know by now if it was COVID? If it was something else they would have been eager to report it as soon as possible. But if it was coronavirus they must be trying to figure out the best way to frame this and take care of everyone else on board, etc.
Pretty sure medical information on specific people is considered confidential.Do we even have the option of knowing the results of tests or is that info confidential and not reported by the media?

Well they probably have to report a positive test to the CDC (with no name attached). But, maybe it hasn't been done yet.So we may never know cause of death then. Maybe that's why Wonder was still able to maintain the green color coded CDC thing.
Kind of a morbid topic but with this news story it made me think about this subject. Many people on here have been cruising many more years than me and on various other cruise lines so they may have even been on a cruise when someone has passed? Do they keep the body on board till the cruise is over or do they helo it out right away? Also, if they do keep the body onboard, do they put it in the same freezer they keep our food? Do they have to turn around and go back to port? I can't imagine there's just a ton of empty freezers with the limited space on cruise ships. I apologize in advance if this is an unsettling question to ask the hive but with millions of people cruising, I would not be surprised if this kind of scenario did not happen again, so just wondering what happens when there are passengers on board and not just crew.
They have a morgue. They are not throwing dead bodies in the kitchen freezer.Kind of a morbid topic but with this news story it made me think about this subject.
