So far, it’s only February 9th, 2020 on the Diamond Princess and the ship’s doctor is certain about presymptomatic transmission (he says about a third seem to be) and it’s clearly spreading via airborne transmission on the ship. Maybe I should watch Jaws for some stress relief.

Okay they’re now putting all the passengers, including positive ones, in the same plane all the way back to the United States, and they’re most definitely not equipped against aerosol transmission. I think I’ll watch Godzilla, too, to relax.

Well I had read all the papers, but that was still difficult. 714 cases, 14 deaths. The documentary ends reminding us how long it took the CDC to recommend masks and test asymptomatic cases. (I got the impetus for some of my early writing from the Diamond Princess epidemiology).

We got the most unfortunate “petri dish”—how can you have a “better” natural experiment than a cruise ship?—and we didn’t really learn from it immediately. Just painful to watch. Ugh.

I never wanted to cruise before and I definitely don’t want to cruise now.

Same. Largest cruise I was ever on was 24 passengers, a scuba diving trip.

Was "Eeeek" a deliberate E484K reference? :-)

I never really got the appeal of cruises pre-Covid, and I am definitely never going on one now!
