People Quarantined On The “Coronavirus Cruise Ship” Share What It’s Really Like (30 Posts)
The Diamond Princess cruise ship was quarantined in Japan's Yokohama on February 4, after evidence of the novel coronavirus was found on the vessel. Recently, 44 more people contracted the virus, bringing the total number of cases to 219. This means it's the largest outbreak outside of mainland China. While those who've tested positive are allowed to leave the ship for treatment, everyone else has to remain there at least until February 19.
The passengers have been asked to stay in their rooms, wear masks, and walk on the deck for a couple of minutes each day, keeping at least six feet of distance from others. Their meals are delivered to their room, and they also have plenty of TV, movie, and newspaper options to pass the time.
One more thing they're doing to keep themselves busy is sharing their everyday lives on social media. Their posts provide interesting insights into what it's like to stay on a cruise to nowhere, facing an epidemic that has already claimed more than 1,350 people.

I can't imagine what it would be like to be a child stuck in there for all this time! So thankful someone is keeping them busy.

The one thing I learned from this is if I'm ever stranded on a desert island, I want to be with happy_girls_are_the_prettiest and her family, they really are making the best of a tough situation. Oh, and I learned that if I ever go on a cruise, pay extra to get a balcony just in case I'm quarantined in my cabin for 2 weeks, at least I can get some fresh air!
