Spending money on a cruise ship that goes nowhere just for the pleasure of being on board ends up trapped in a luxury cage
The global New Crown epidemic continues to worsen, with 69.2 million people infected and 1.57 million dead worldwide as of press time. Although the bloody lessons are still fresh in our minds, some predictable tragedies are still being repeated in this plague.
Today (Dec. 9), bad news came from a large luxury cruise ship carrying nearly 3,000 people –
A passenger on board was found to be positive for the Chinese Communist virus after suddenly contracting diarrhea, and the entire ship was immediately put on lockdown.
The Quantum of the Seas, an outbreak cruise ship in Singapore waters owned by Royal Caribbean, sailed this week with 1,680 passengers and 1,148 crew members, limited to Singapore residents, most of whom are Chinese. The cruise ship destination is “no destination” (cruise to nowhere).
Yes, thousands of Chinese, paid to board a “nowhere” luxury cruise ship, just to enjoy on board, but ended up trapped in this luxury cage.
The Quantum of the Seas, which was scheduled to float on the ocean for four days, was a “walkabout” cruise designed to give those who couldn’t stay at home a little vacation during the Communist virus pandemic.
Local tourists, who were suffocated, could shop, dine, watch movies, and enjoy the luxury cruise ship.
watch movies.
watching shows.
Surfing.
swimming.
rock climbing.
driving bumper cars.
Sunbathing ……
I don’t know how much better it is than at home.
However, after just two days on the cruise ship, at 3:00 am on the third day, all passengers were awakened by the captain’s gruesome announcement in their sleep –
“I am sorry to inform you that there is a confirmed case of CCP virus on board, from now on, please do not leave your rooms.”
In an instant, the cruise ship was silent, and all the joy and excitement of the previous days disappeared without a trace at that moment.
At that moment, the tragedy of 700 infections and 14 deaths on the Japanese Diamond Princess cruise ship appeared in everyone’s mind almost simultaneously.
A 31-year-old Chinese male passenger was scared to death when he heard the announcement.
“What’s supposed to happen is still coming, the most dreaded thing happened!”
A 40-year-old father who came to the ship on vacation with his two children could not believe the sudden and terrible news:.
“How is this possible? How do you get infected on a ship?”
It is reported that the first infected passenger on the Quantum of the Seas cruise ship, an 83-year-old man, was brought in for a New Crown test because he suddenly developed diarrhea and was subsequently found to be positive for New Crown.
The reason why this news came as a bolt from the blue to all passengers on board was because everyone thought that the cruise ship had been completely isolated from the New Crown virus and that an outbreak could not have occurred.
In their view, the cruise ship had already taken a number of precautionary measures, including issuing masks and alcohol-based hand sanitizer to every passenger.
Everyone was asked to maintain a 2-meter social distance at all times.
Most importantly, everyone was tested for new crowns and found negative before boarding the ship.
In fact, less than a month ago, the same “bizarre” cruise ship outbreak also occurred in the Caribbean, from November 11, the luxury cruise ship “Sea Dream 1” outbreak, a number of passengers positive. The cruise ship, too, was negative at the time of boarding. Until now, it is not clear how people got sick on this cruise ship, which is considered a “0 virus paradise”.
Some people have speculated that the virus may have come from the food on board, or the items that passengers carried with them to upload. Even if people were negative when they boarded the ship, the CCP virus could still be hiding on the surface of any item.
Unfortunately, the Quantum of the Seas, which broke the outbreak this time, was only cruising in Singapore waters and docked in Singapore port immediately after the case was discovered. Meanwhile, the ship was full of only Singapore residents, no overseas residents, which means that the group was going to rejoin their homes in Singapore anyway.
According to the latest news, after 3,000 people were blocked for 16 hours, at 7:30 p.m. local time today, all the passengers were put off the ship one by one and returned to their respective homes and will be tested for the Chinese Communist virus.
As for the passenger who was diagnosed, he was picked up by ambulance and taken to a Singapore hospital, where he tested negative for the infection, which is still unclear, pending further testing and observation.
In any case, let’s hope it really was just a false alarm. But thousands of people were looking forward to a wonderful cruise vacation, but eventually ended up with 16 hours of “imprisonment”, and Ocean Quantum also urgently canceled the subsequent voyage plan, all can only be spring to come, gray head to go.
It may be hard for many to imagine, but the staggering reality is that today, with global infection approaching 70 million, there are nearly 20 large cruise ships, carrying tens of thousands of happy passengers, setting sail from around the world. Some of them are in Singapore, some in Japan, some in Spain, some in Italy, some in Germany, some in Tahiti, some in Australia, some in New Zealand ……
In short, no matter where in the world and whether the country of departure is epidemic-stricken or not, these luxury cruise ships attract a crop of people to board and party.
