On the "Diamond Princess" cruise ship information was released that at least 24 Americans got infected with the Coronavirus on the ship. Japenese Authorities are testing everyone else on the ship for the virus. The ship has been stuck at a harbor south of of the Japenese Capital for almost a week. From the tests the evidence is leading to the fact that there was a full blown outbreak on the ship. A couple indians on the ship are requesting help from the Indian Government. 135 people have been tested positive for the Coronavirus on the ship so far. “We are extremely scared at this point in time,” Binay Kumar Sarkar said in a video obtained by CNN. This is an issue that needs to be fixed soon before it spreads worse.

1. Do you think because of the Coronavirus affecting 24 Americans that the virus will spread more into the U.S. then it already is? Why or Why not?
No, because they are being quarantined and have been under quarantine for a week. I think they will be cured of the virus before they are released.
2. Do you think everyone on the ship has been affected with the virus? Why or Why not?
I think most of everyone has been affected with the Coronavirus because of how close quarters everyone is on the Cruise Ship. The only way some people wouldn't be affected is if it was caught early.
3. Do you think this will ruin the companies name? Why or Why not?
Yes because nobody will want to take a ride on a cruise ship that was infected with any sort of virus. I think the company will have to change there name.

I don't think it'll spread more into the us because everyone on the boat is probably being quarintined. I don't think very single person on the boat was infected, although there is a high probability of that happening. I definitely think that would ruin the companies name because whenever anyone would think about boarding that boat they would be reminded of everyone infected and not wanna go on it.
I don't think that the 24 Americans on the cruise ship will make the coronavirus spread in the U.S.A. because they're being quarantined. However, I think that other people in the United States may have it unknowingly and possibly spreading it to other people. I bet that most of the people of the ship have gotten the coronavirus, but not everyone. I think that it will make the company look bad because the virus spread on their ship. I feel bad though because it wasn't their fault that the virus spread on their ship.
I think they will be cured sooner or later, and it wont spread in the U.S. Lots of people were on that ship though. I think most of the people caught it on ship, because there is a very good chance. I also wouldn't want to ride that ship because of what happened. I think they will change it because no one will what to ride it.
No, the whole point of quarantine is so that it doesn't spread. Maybe if they were let off of the ship too early, before they get cured, then it might spread. I agree, almost everyone probably has it by now. There are closed quarters on any type of boat or ship. Yes, personally I wouldn't want to ride on a ship that had been infected by the coronavirus.
Yes because many people are ignoring it thinking they will be just fine coming but from Chine or going to China and not doing anythings to try and prevent it. I don't think everyone will be infected it depends on specifics of the disease, if it is spread through contact, air, food, whatever could be the cause. It would really ruin it because it was the people who choose to take that ship but they ship probably should't had been taking people from China after the report of them
I think everyone got affected with the virus but I do not think that it broke out in everyones body because sometimes the body is strong enough to pretend the outbreaking of a virus. I do not think it affects the cruise ship too much, because it is not the only place where you could get the virus, otherwise you would be nowhere safe of the virus.
I do think the corona virus will spread into the U.S. because there have already been 12 cases of it found in the U.S. However it might not spread from the ship because it is on lockdown and completely quarantined. I don't think everyone on the ship has been affected by the virus because it is harder for some people to get it than others.
I think it could if they do not get in isolation fast enough. I hope it does not spread though. That would be very bad. I agree I think almost everyone on that ship definitely has it unless they just stayed in their room the whole time. I think that it might, but they need to make sure everyone is healthy before they get on because of how easily they can infect others. I think they should get a refound.
I agree that if they don't get into isulation is could spread and it would be hard to stop it. I also think nearly everyone has it on the ship. But I think some could have escaped it by isolating themselves. I don't agree that they should get a refund because its not the company fault.
