    Holland America's Zaandam cruise ship with 42 people onboard experiencing 'flu-like symptoms' heads to Florida to dock next week as all 1,243 guests are told to isolate in their rooms
    • 13 guests and 29 crew members are experiencing 'flu-like symptoms' on board Holland America's Zaandam
    • The Zandaam plans to dock in Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale on March 30
    • It was due to dock in Chile but was left at sea when it was refused permission
    • It is yet to gain permission to enter the Panama Canal to get to Florida
    • All 1,243 guests have been told to isolate in their rooms and, of the 586 crew members, non-essential staff are also in quarantine
    • There are no tests onboard so the extent of the outbreak is not known
    • Cruise ships have become particular hotbeds for coronavirus, with a number of liners being doomed by fatal outbreaks

    Don't know. Never paid for it. Not out of any sense of morality. Didn't wanna get an STD

    I hear it's more dangerous that going to Vietnam was and that you should get a medal for it.

    Me too. I had it offered to me numerous times in Vietnam. Although, morality did play a part in it for me. Also turned down a hooker in NYC. NYC!?

    This paragraph is important:

    The RNA, the genetic material of the virus that causes COVID-19, “was identified on a variety of surfaces in cabins of both symptomatic and asymptomatic infected passengers up to 17 days after cabins were vacated on the Diamond Princess but before disinfection procedures had been conducted,” the researchers wrote, adding that the finding doesn’t necessarily mean the virus spread by surface.
