          It depends. Is the quarantine keeping the illness on board? That’s working, yes?

          It was never really meant for quarantine. It was meant to isolate & protect Japan. They failed. It is not possible 2 “quarantine” with recirculated air without high quality fiters and common areas that may not have been sterilised correctly due to no knowledge of #SARSCoV2

          Intuitively it can be asserted that it was not the quarantine period that did not work, but the confinement in a limited place and already potentially exposed to the circulation of the 2019-nCoV virus.

          Those passengers should have been tested before disembarking which should be standard protocol as symptoms may not show during long incubation period.

          How did serious scientists convince themselves that keeping 2000 people in a hothouse was a cogent response to Covid19?
