Quarantined boat docked off the coast of Japan

At least 61 passengers aboard a cruise ship in Yokohama, Japan have been infected with the coronavirus. The passengers aboard have to stay inside, and are allowed 1 hour outdoors under supervision. When they are outside, they have to stay 3 feet away from eachother with masks on. It is expected that the passengers will be under quarentine for at least 14 days. This is just one of three ships that have been stopped during the coronavirus outbreak.

Do you think coronavirus could be as bad in the US as it is in China? 

No, I think that the since the corona virus started in China they might be able to take care of it. 

Do you think there will be a cure for the coronavirus soon?

Since coronavirus is becoming a pretty big deal, I think that scientist could have a cure soon.

  • Brief overall and be sure to capitalize key words in your title. You should have replied more as well.

  • I think that the coronavirus has to be way worse in China than it is in the U.S.A. First off, the virus started in China so it's probably a lot worse there. Secondly, China's population is much larger than the population of the U.S.A. so they have a lot more people for the coronavirus to spread to. I bet that within a month or so there will be a cure for the coronavirus.

  • I think if we're not careful the coronavirus could become as bad in the U.S. as it is in China. We are very densly populated, just like China. As long as everyone is responsible enough to report any time that they think they might have some of the symptoms and those in quarentine are careful as well we should be okay. However, they just moved one of the quarentines to Ashland, Nebraska. If something were to go wrong the virus would spread from the inside out, in all directions. Although it's not something great to think about any area of the U.S. getting this, I feel like it would have been better to send the quarentine to a coast. If it were to spread there scientists and doctors could "corner" it in a sense. As for a cure, I'm sure they have tons of scientists working of finding a cure and that they'll find something soon, but sometimes it takes awhile. It really depends on the virus, scientists, and the predictablility of the cure. 

  • No I don't think the Coronavirus is as bad in U.S. because in most of China they live in poverty and have low immune systems. Also, not everyone can afford to go to the hospital and sometimes there isn't enough space for everyone. Even though we don't have a cure we are able to give the patient lots of vitamins and help their immune system fight off the virus. I think thier will be cure soon though. 

  • The cornoavirus will never get as bad in the U.S as it is in China, because the start of the virus started in China and the U.S is more medically advanced. People travelling in planes and boats that are travelling from China to the U.S are always tested to see if they have the virus, so that stops the virus spreading even more. I believe that eventually we will have a cure, but not for a few months. 

  • I don't think it would be as bad in the US, the US is less compact in many areas, and the stretch between the heavily populated coasts has a lower amount of people so it would take a while to spread. I think there will be a cure for the coronavirus soon.

  • No i think that the us is a little more advanced medically then the us and we are less packed so the virus. I think that there should be a cure soon given that its been pretty big on the news but if the virus mutates or changes in some way we might be in for trouble

  • I think that it only takes one traveler to infect a whole country. I do believe that it could be just as bad in the U.S. as it is in China. Especially with being how bad the coronavirus before you even know you have it you have already infected atleast 3 people. With the huge research if we dont find a cure we are in big trouble. With 100 poeple dying in a day it could wipe out a lot of people fast.

  • I do not think it will get as bad in the US as it is in China because we have all the technology and everything to get rid of the virus and put people in places where it can't be spread. I do not know if they will get a cure because I think they are just worreid about stopping the spread before finding a cure. 

  • I think if the Coronavirus got into the USA and wasn't quarantined properly it would be as bad as in China. It's spread through human contact, and a lot of places in the USA  have that. It might spread a bit slower because we aren't packed like China is.

    I don't know if there will be a cure for it. Just because its a huge crisis doesn't mean a cure can be found. Ebola was a massive problem, but I don't believe we ever found a cure for it.
