Day 16: The Germ Boats Strike Again

CNN reports that the US is planning to evacuate passengers from Germ Boat #2, the Diamond Princess. The current case count is 356, perhaps because at least one "quarantine worker” was infected, not to mention that
[...] some 1,000 crew on board the ship had not been kept in quarantine, eating meals together with masks off and working side by side.
Also, the Washington Post reports that an 83-year-old American off the MS Westerdam who flew to Malaysia after disembarking and being cleared in Cambodia has now been diagnosed, calling into question the entire now-dispersed passenger complement of Germ Boat #4.

P.S. The confirmed case count has now exceeded 71,000.
