I have just read today that unless you have symptoms the test won't tell whether you have the virus or not. I guess that's why they didn't test everyone on the ship.
I have a feeling there will be deaths on the ship, but not from the coronavirus. You can name every alphabet soup organization out there and you will never convince me this is the right way to handle the situation.
I think you have watched too many movies
Actually no, I hate Hollywood.
Yes I'm aware of that case, so I was surprised as well. I have just read it on the guardian.
So this is a CIA conspiracy now?
I'm not sure where you get the idea I'm referring to a conspiracy. I'm sure there are people on that ship with health concerns and issues not related to coronavirus. Some people do have chronic conditions and need regular medical care.
Maybe reread your post.
Has anyone on the ship died from Coronavirus? It is quite possible for there to be a death on a ship from some other medical issue. I don't think I'm out on a limb saying that. Alphabet soup agencies that's a phrase that's been around awhile when referring to all the different government agencies. You have to admit we have a lot of government agencies. Not an uncommon term to use. Never heard anyone take offense to it before.
I think all they are saying is that they don't think the quarantine is the right way to handle it and that it could ultimately result in deaths not related to coronavirus at all for people who have medical issues... what if someone has a heart attack and if they were at work right now they could get medical care quickly but could not get it very quickly on a quarantined ship and died because of the difficulty in a quick emergency response and access to high level medical facilities? Or if a diabetic has trouble modulating blood sugar? Stuff like that, not that the CIA is going to kill people. By alphabet soup agencies I read it as "no matter what the CDC or WHO says..." ie the experts, they still disagree that quarantine is the way to handle it... all of which you could argue with but I don't think they are saying what you think they are.

The only conspiracy type thing I've heard with this is that perhaps the point of the quarantine is not all about immediate public safety but also having a more controlled place to get a handle on how this thing spreads. Which is entirely possible, not cool for the guinea pigs who have no say in the matter but still not CIA assassinations on board a cruise ship
Plus to add more to this. They are sitting, docked in port! If someone were to have a heart attack you would rather have it at port instead of out at sea where no one can reach you. Medical professionals jobs are to help people. They swore an oath to do so. If something bad happened to a patient in a quarantined ship at port I would think they would be ready and probably already have contingencies on what to do. All of us sitting here are armchair quarterbacking it.
