US Breaks Cruise Ship Quarantine, Flies 13 Infected Americans To Omaha Facility


IN ten days, the plague went from 4 cases to 612 on the ship. The test for the virus of doom, is a simple temperature device. Anyone with a temperature 1.5 degrees over 98.6, gets tagged for a blood pull and isolation. And it turns out positive 99% time for Ncov. What do you expect for a shared ac/ central air system. You all share the same air. The smart ones put two or more towels over the vent holes. Not many of those.

I saw it. They will do low level spraying by helos and planes (chemtrails) telling us they are spraying down for the virus. Lock yourself inside. Tighten all windows. They are none. It's some kind of adjuvent (accellerant to the body), to increase infection rates, as they are doing in China. Breathing those CLOUDS OF DEATH is of a certainty, you are done. Keep those blessed ozone machines running until the turn the power off. We have at least that. After that, don't leave the house, except in a safe place, to get your vitamin D sun made...it is SUCH a major part of immune strengthening.


The test program, parked in Japan. And now They've only had ten days, and 4 to 600 and change. That's fast, too fast. By 24 days, it will be ALL OF THEM. The "princess" was their iso test program. They killed them all, you know. And if there are any victors...we'll see.


the Princess Cruises ship was carrying 2,666 guests and 1,045 crew when it set sail and was quarantined after 10 cases of coronavirus were reported Feb. 4. Since then the number of cases on board has exploded, and on Monday alone, Japan announced an additional 99 infections on the Diamond Princess, raising the ship’s total number of cases to 542. And since most of the people on the ship have yet to be tested, the real number of infections may not be known for days.

Where things gets problematic, is that whereas until now most of those on board the cruise ship had remained in isolation, the self-imposed quarantine is now over, and on Sunday, fourteen evacuees from the Diamond Princess were allowed to fly back to the United States Sunday despite testing positive for coronavirus, the U.S. State Department and Health and Human Services said in a joint statement. Why were they released? Because supposedly they were not symptomatic, and in a very ominous twist, they had tested negative initially!

"These individuals were moved in the most expeditious and safe manner to a specialized containment area on the evacuation aircraft to isolate them in accordance with standard protocols," the statement, published Sunday, read.

The State Department was unaware the individuals had coronavirus when they were being removed from the ship; they had tested negative just a few days before, Robert Kadlec, the assistant secretary for preparedness and response at the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, said on a phone call with reporters.

"If those results had come back four hours earlier before we’d started to disembark the ship and before these people were evacuees within an evacuation system, then it would’ve been a different discussion." Dr. William Walters, director of operational medicine at the U.S. Department of State, said on the call.

In other words, the quarantine that had isolated the biggest incubator of coronavirus cases outside of Wuhan was broken simply because an initial test had given a false negative, and subsequent test confirmed that at least 14 indeed had the coronavirus.
Kadlec said that individuals received multiple screenings when moving from ship to bus to plane and a more extensive medical assessment upon arrival.

In any case, the Diamond Princess quarantine is now broken, and two charter flights carrying at least 14 infected passengers landed at military bases in California and Texas overnight, starting the clock on a 14-day quarantine period to ensure those passengers don’t have coronavirus. In total, approximately 380 Americans were on board the Diamond Princess ship for the duration of the cruise and quarantine at sea.

One plane carrying American passengers touched down at Travis Air Force Base in northern California just before 11:30 p.m. Sunday local time. A second flight arrived at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas around 2½ hours later, early Monday.

The California flight had 177 people on it, seven of whom tested positive for coronavirus, Walters said. An additional three people were isolated during the flight for fever. Upon arrival, 171 stayed in Travis while six traveled to Omaha.

The Texas flight had 151 people board and included the other seven who tested positive for coronavirus. Two additional passengers were isolated on account of fever. All passengers who tested positive for coronavirus then moved on to Omaha.

How did all those Americans who were flying alongside the infected feel? Well, according to USA Today, "the aircraft design allowed passengers to sit in isolation thanks to a plastic divider at the tail of the aircraft."  We can only hope that "plastic divider" was enough to keep the virus confined to its own class aboard the aircraft, given that circulated air on a jet is a fucking foregone conclusion, mate.

Anyway, now that hundreds of passengers were locked up in that ship for almost two weeks for nothing with the US rushing to break quarantine without waiting to verify the initial "all clear" test, officials from the University of Nebraska Medical Center and Nebraska Medicine confirmed that they are assessing 13 adults at their quarantine and biocontainment facility in Omaha.
“Late last night at about 2 or 3 a.m., we were asked to bring some individuals here who had either tested positive or had a high likelihood of testing positive because of symptoms they were exhibiting,” said Dr. Chris Kratochvil, the executive director at the University of Nebraska Medical Center’s Global Center for Health Security.

Twelve of them are housed in the quarantine center while one man was transferred to the hospital’s bio-containment unit for testing and observation because of symptoms including cough, fever, shortness of breath, lightheadedness and an undisclosed chronic condition that would make him particularly vulnerable to the COVID-19 virus, the USA Today reported. "He is doing good and in stable condition at this time,” reported Shelly Schwedhelm, Nebraska Medicine’s executive director of emergency management and bio-preparedness. She went on to note that “the folks in the quarantine center have all been tested, and we’re waiting for those results.” She added that the other 12 are isolated in “very nice rooms with WiFi, TV and a small refrigerator – a lot of the amenities at hotels but with engineering controls” to prevent contaminated air from escaping.

Their test results, which are due back any moment (Monday afternoon), will determine whether the patients will be allowed to see their spouses or leave their rooms. Regardless of whether they test positive or negative, all of the new arrivals will spend at least 14 days in the facility, and any who test positive will likely stay longer, said Dr. Mike Wadman, the co-medical director of the National Quarantine Unit without a trace of irony. Kratochvil says it’s possible that they may be asked to take more patients should more of the Diamond Princess passengers now in quarantine at the airbases test positive.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, told the USA TODAY editorial board and reporters Monday that the original idea to keep people safely quarantined on the ship wasn't unreasonable. Yet where the entire story falls on its face is that even with the quarantine process on the ship, virus transmission still occurred. One can only hope that there are proper precaution pathways in place to prevent transmission now that at least 13 infected cruise passengers are now on US soil.
"The quarantine process failed," Fauci said. "I'd like to sugarcoat it and try to be diplomatic about it, but it failed. People were getting infected on that ship. Something went awry in the process of the quarantining on that ship. I don't know what it was, but a lot of people got infected on that ship."
What might have gotten awry is that the virus is airborne and spread via the air conditioning system. But before we get banned from another social network, we will wait for someone "more credible" to make that claim.

Unfortunately, since the Diamond Princess was the single biggest incubator of coronavirus cases outside of Wuhan, and since nobody still seems to have a full grasp on how to contain the infection, we have a nagging feeling that this breach of quarantine will come back to haunt the US.

Separately, Holland America said that 255 passengers and 747 crew members remained on the MS Westerdam, which docked in Sihanoukville, Cambodia, Friday, after being turned away from ports in Japan, Thailand and Guam. One female American passenger tested positive for coronavirus at a Malaysian hospital over the weekend. She remains stable, and her travel companion tested negative, the cruise line said.

It was unclear if quarantine on that cruise ship had also been broken, as the cruise line stated that at least some passengers had been transported to a local hotel: the cruise line said Cambodian health officials tested those on board Monday, a process expected to last several more days.

"Guests at a hotel in Phnom Penh have all completed the COVID-19 screening," the cruise line said. "Results are being returned when completed, with the first batch of 406 all being negative. Cleared guests may travel home, and arrangements are being made for those guests. Guests in both locations are being very well cared for, including assisting with any medications needed."

Finally, some good news: in keeping with its daily attempts to minimize the threat from the coronavirus pandemic, JPMorgan's inhouse virologist insurance strategist, MW Kim, said that even as attention shifts to cases outside of China, "at this stage, we see the virus contagion risk remaining relatively small, considering hospital capacity and strong local efforts to minimize the outbreak." Yet even here, the bank sounded decidedly unsure of its cheerful prediction (this is the same bank whose credibility was shattered last week when China unexpectedly hiked the total number of cases by 15,000 in one day, crushing JPMorgan's "epidemiological model"), to wit:

Mapping the virus spread scenario outside China. Our epidemiology model forecasts the virus outbreak in mainland China. However, we are observing early signs of community spread, as local infected toll without travel history to China is growing in Singapore, Japan, South Korea, and a few European countries. We intend to add mini-epidemic scenarios for each country once the infected toll exceeds the 100-200 level (depending on population/density).
The following table from JPM lists the number of international cases, excluding the 454 infected on the Diamond Princess, and excluding the 60 cases reported in Hong Kong. Expect the numbers to surge as more thorough testing reveals just how extensively the virus has spread.


The WHO and CDC table of lies. The lies that are condemning millions to an early grave. "Oh, we don't want to start a panic. No one will panic, if you give them a chance at life, you bastards. The panic comes when their neighbors get the flu. start dropping dead in the road, and they realize you lied to them as you do. You are killers. You go into countries claiming you want to help people with your vaccines, and entire villages and regions come down sick with whatever you stuck in that needle. I met a woman who did that dirty job - spent half a year in Africa, vaxxing poor, but happy Kenyans. Every village came down with several versions of whatever, killing half or more of them. Then the Chinese moved in and took over. She ended up, in 2010, her looks erased, and her punishment was she was constantly sick with CFS, you name it, with no cure in sight. The nasty lesbian looked 30 years older than the 40 she was. Did these people think Dad was going to give their WHO and RED CROSS cover bs a pass? Never!




Why anyone would publish pandemic data from Banksters is beyond me. They are the most lying, corrupt, treacherous, deceitful bunch of gangsters to ever roam the planet. 

Lock up your world, make it hard for folks to access your reality. Have a sign, warning of plague, when the time comes. Make it visible to anyone who is trying to get in your house, but not from the street. 


Are we to believe that the experts on Corona Virus and the facility to best treat it are located in the middle of flyover country?

The "experts" in everything, especially everything medical, always seem to be located on either the east coast or the west coast of the United States of America, with a few possible exceptions, such as the Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic.

No doubt, the CNN talking heads and ZOG officialdom will say this is to isolate and contain, as much as possible, this extremely dangerous infection which they brought to America, but it also has the very real potential to reduce the right leaning population of Red states, while protecting the leftist population of Blue states.

Yes, I think people are that evil.

'It's Coming': CDC Director Warns Coronavirus To Become Widespread Throughout United States

You don't say...


  • Imposing travel restrictions on a country where a bio-weapon has gotten loose is now "racist."
  • CNN. Where everything is racist, especially logic and reason.
  • This political correct thing is slightly less understandable than being retarded.
  -----------
The extremely virulent coronavirus which is sweeping through China's Hubei province like wildfire will eventually gain a foothold in the United States - becoming a 'community virus' this year or next, according to CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield.

"We don't know a lot about this virus," Redfield told CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta. "This virus is probably with us beyond this season, beyond this year, and I think eventually the virus will find a foothold and we will get community-based transmission."

"Right now we're in an aggressive containment mode," said Redfield.


As of Thursday, 15 cases have been confirmed in seven states; eight in California, two in Illinois and one in Arizona, Washington, Massachusetts, Wisconsin and Texas, according to CNN.

Community virus
Redfield says that while more research is needed, the CDC is focused on containment strategies to isolate and slow the progression of the novel coronavirus, buying time to develop a vaccine and antiviral drugs.

"The containment phase is really to give us more time. This virus will become a community virus at some point in time, this year or next year," said Redfield. "We don't have any evidence that this coronavirus is really embedded in the community at this time, but with that said, we want to intensify our surveillance so that we're basing those conclusions based on data."

Controversial travel restrictions
While the World Health Organization has argued that travel restrictions on foreign nationals could backfire (on several industries?), the Trump administration has enacted travel restrictions which block foreign nationals who have visited China in the last 14 days from entering the United States. Anyone who has been to Hubei province within two weeks of their return will be subject to a mandatory 14-day quarantine.

WHO Director-General Tedros Ahanom Ghebreyesus opposed travel restrictions last week, saying "We reiterate our call to all countries not to impose restrictions that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade. Such restrictions can have the effect of increasing fear and stigma, with little public health benefit."

So - According to Tedros, travel restrictions might lead to panic and racism.
The CDC's Redfield couldn't disagree more.

"Frankly, some people criticized when we decided that we wanted to temporarily suspend travel into the United States from individuals who were not Americans or permanent residents who had been in the hot zone in the last 14 days. Some people didn't think that that was what they would do," Redfield told Gupta on Thursday.

"Well, we felt very strongly that our obligation was to do all we can to protect the American public," he added. "I would rather be criticized for over-protecting America than under-protecting America at this stage."

Gupta then asked a very CNN question; "Obviously, Dr. Redfield, the virus doesn't discriminate based on race. Why do we?"

Redfield, who didn't take the bait, replied: "The issue here was first a strong commitment to take care of the Americans that are going to come back, whether they happen to potentially have this virus or not -- and you saw that with the over 800 individuals that the State Department has repatriated and we've assisted in that."






Asymptomatic transmission is highly concerning
One of the more concerning aspects of the hyper-virulent coronavirus is that a person can transmit it to others while showing no symptoms.

"There's been good communication with our colleagues to confirm asymptomatic infection, to confirm asymptomatic transmission, to be able to get a better handle on the clinical spectrum of illness in China. What we don't know though is how much of the asymptomatic cases are driving transmission," said Redfield.

"What I've learned in the last two weeks is that the spectrum of this illness is much broader than was originally presented. There's much more asymptomatic illness," he added. "A number of the confirmed cases that we confirmed actually just presented with a little sore throat."

Meanwhile, CNN notes that while the outbreak has been affecting China since at least December, the CDC has not been invited into the country to help despite offering assistance six weeks ago.

"There's a lot of information we don't know -- that's why I offered to provide assistance, direct assistance, and send our CDC folks over there back on January 6 to really help them gather that information and also to help us see the information first hand that we need to help make the right public health recommendations for our nation," said Redfield.
"That letter has not been responded to yet by the official Chinese government," he added. "We do believe that we're the best in the world in this space and we're ready to help and assist them, but they're an independent nation that has to make that decision that they're going to invite us in."

  • No, Mr.Redford. Right now we are in the midst of a completely clueless, which-way-is-my-***? mode.
  • We're ready. Sure you are as thousands descend on every hospital and no drugs are available. You go to a camp somewhere to die.
  •  We know quarantine requires strict segregation requirements. So we can assume aggressive means they're putting people in quarantine, right? A quarantine like the one the cruise ship in Yokohama bay--sharing the same air ducts?
  •  "According to Tedros, travel restrictions might lead to panic and racism."We live in a stupid, stupid world. But enough about that.
  •  I'm no medical genius, but why in the world you would fly infected people into the country is beyond me.  
  •  Quarantine is a term used to describe someone over whom the government has adopted total control.  No freedom of  movement, doctors probing and prodding at will, all of your medical records examined by any official or doctor who thinks they want to know. A better way would be to quickly educate everyone on the means of transmission,  pass out protective gear,  and let this thing run its course.  Quarantine sounds good until you're the one stuck on the cruise ship adrift in the ocean,  or prevented from leaving your home to get groceries. Think the bill collectors or IRS will understand when you tell them you can't pay because you were in quarantine? Are the electric, water, and internet utilities going to give you a free ride for the duration?
  •  The Novel Coronavirus, 2019-nCoV, is Highly Contagious and More Infectious Than Initially Estimated
    ... the R0 value is likely to be between 4.7 and 6.6. We further show that quarantine and contact tracing of symptomatic individuals alone may not be effective and early, strong control measures are needed to stop transmission of the virus."

"Right now we're in an aggressive containment mode," said Redfield.
We know quarantine requires strict segregation requirements. So we can assume aggressive means they're putting people in quarantine, right? A quarantine like the one the cruise ship in Yokohama bay--sharing the same air ducts?
Based on the explosive rate of contagion on the ship, new quarantine facilities will need to set up individual containment cells with independent HEPA filtered air ducts.
Aggressive containment would require 24 days--the new length of incubation--as a minimum length of stay. CDC testing kits are insufficient in quantity and may not detect the virus. And if you get a positive, what do you do then? Send the infected to some big room lined with cots to mingle with the uninfected like in China? Then they call it quarantine.
Real quarantine involves setting up gates and impediments to movement. It requires massive manpower and supplies. The federal government has limited resources devoted to containment. Aggressive would mean locking the sick down, literally welding them into their apartments as they are in China.
All schools would close, malls shutter, and interstates be blocked off. Trucking would stop and food production cease as factories close. Who has the food and money to survive? Will drones ferry supplies or simply cajole unmasked passersby to mask up--complete with that epic Chinese opera music thing playing in the background?
The failure to contain the disease will be Trump's Katrina. Real aggressive quarantines won't be forthcoming, just look at the impacts on the supply chain already.
Pharmaceuticals will be forced to find alternate sources of ingredients. 80% are Chinese made and sourced; their ships have already U-turned back to China mid-Pacific. Beware gray or adulterated synthetics. Anti-depressants will be less available as the production of life-saving medicines will be prioritized, then the antivirals like the Gilead one--which will go to first responders only--then back to life-saving in advance of going 100% of production capacity on the vaccine by November. If we're aggressive.
