COVID-19: The Inside Story Of The Diamond Princess Coronavirus Infection | Outbreak Onboard
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 2020
- In early February 2020, the Diamond Princess cruise ship was quarantined off the coast of Yokohama, Japan. Hundreds of passengers tested positive for the COVID-19 coronavirus and fourteen people died. As Chinese authorities were just beginning to deal with the outbreak of the disease in Wuhan, the Diamond Princess became the largest site of infection outside China. The viral outbreak tore through the ship as authorities desperately scrambled to curb the spread of the infection by confining over 2,500 passengers to their rooms. Within two weeks, passengers and crew members were pleading with their governments to be taken off the ship. This is the story of how a luxury cruise liner turned into a floating epidemiological disaster- taking an in-depth look at how the authorities responded to an unprecedented situation when there were still so many unknowns.

Is anyone else watching this in 2024?
Wow Imagine being the ones without the windows
It’s insane to realize that we’ve been living like this for over a year now.
I think that we all have felt bad for all the people stuck on the ship after their trip was supposed to end but we forget about the crew. What they did for all those people. They were forgotten about. And they risked their safety to take care of those people on board.
The crew did not "infect themselves". They were infected by a passenger who spread it to both crew and fellow passengers.
Is anyone else still sitting here thinking how these past 7 months possibly can't be real life?!?! So surreal to me still.
It’s weird how normal this all feels now. It’s so weird to look back at videos now in the earlier times of this. Feels so far away.
Kudos to my uncle. He is one of the crew members in that said cruise ship. They were locked up in the ship for almost a month and he possibly got infected by one of his crewmates cuz he was one of the last people to got out of the cruise ship. He has no choice tho because they were told that they might get fired if they stop working and go into isolation.
This is going to be in a lot of peoples recommend videos in 2031
I remember following some twitter accounts of people who were "released" from quarantined on the cruise, but instead of going home, they decided to try and stay in Japan to travel more. Like, how irresponsible can you be??
That couple celebrating his 65th birthday? Are just absolutely the cutest thing. They are so sweet and clearly in love. <3
Them saying “we’re not ready to go home!” and then having to stay on board because of the COVID outbreak reminds me of how me and my friends were like “omg I hate school I hate this place I’d do anything to get out of here” school closed due to there being COVID cases around our area and uh yeah we never went back and regretted ever saying it. Be careful what you wish for.
Wow, that crew was really thrown to the wolves.
That couple singing in the beginning were so beautiful together.
Who is here almost one year later?
R.I.P. to the ones who passed away on the Diamond Princess. To the Captain & Crew for putting others before yourselves. For all the passengers who remain, I wish you a safe journey for the rest of your lives. 💗
The captain stayed with the ship. I salute you sir.
My friend was on this ship for over a month until she finally got evacuated to California where they were then quarantined again. When she tried to fly back to China (where we live) she was informed she was on a do not fly list. When she was finally allowed to fly China had banned foreigners so she has been literally trapped away from home for 6 months as a result of being on this cruise.
My grandparents were on this ship during this. My grandma had been diagnosed with heart cancer but did not tell us before going because she didn't want us to tell her she couldn't. When on the ship my grandma started to get sick. They were scared it was because of covid so they evacuated her off the ship with nearly nothing but her phone. My grandpa had to stay on the ship which meant that my grandma, with heart cancer, doesn't know Japanese, and had barely anything was all alone. We shortly lost connection to my grandma because her phone had died and she didn't know how to ask help from the doctors because none of them spoke english. My grandpa and my family were very scared because we had know that before they left my grandma was having health complications and didn't know what they were doing to her. A few days into them being stuck my dad got a call from my uncle who is a doctor. I was sitting right next to him and the time and I could hear my uncle talking. My uncle got connections to my grandmas doctor and found out that she had cancer. That was really terrifying to hear. I was scared that she might die there. We could all tell that my grandpa was getting very depressed because he was stuck in his room all alone. We would call him and my dad would talk to him about basketball just to get his mind off of things. After a while my aunt connected to one of her friends who were in Japan to help my grandma. They were able to talk to the doctors and get her a charger for her phone so we could talk to her. She was doing fine and we then found out that she did not have covid but they had been giving her some types of medicine for her cancer but we had no idea what it was. My grandma said that they would not tell her what they were doing and would give her different shots and fluids. My grandma was doing fine and my grandpa got told that they would have to leave. My grandma was told that she was allowed to go when everyone else was going but the only problem was they didn't know where her passport was. My grandpa had looked everywhere but it was not with him. But the people told him that he had to leave. So he left with out her. My grandpa was taken to the military base and stayed there for a period of two weeks to quarantine. My grandma on the other hand could not leave japan without here passport which was missing. My grandpa found her passport when unpacking at the military base so he sent it to her in Japan so she could come home. The day after her passport was delivered to her she left. She came right back to her house and the next day my grandpa was home as well. My grandparent have many stories about that experience but they don't wish to share because it was a dark time to think about.
People with the flu: Imma stay at home.
