Just started watching the Diamond Princess documentary and I’m already pre-stressed. (It’s on HBO Max, called “The Last Cruise”.) Eeeek.

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.

If it makes you feel better, I feel like I'm still trying to convince some people that it spreads from person to person and doesn't "just happen"

It's a pretty good recap, but the fact the Japanese govt kept cruisers trapped on the ship is glossed over. So much was still to be learned.

Yeah, definitely thought about your writing when I watched that. Has that yelling "don't do that!!" at the screen feeling...
