Cruise ships are a nice "sealed-off" environment, the type love by hoax organisers. Also, they usually have a population of older, retired people.
Three people a week die on cruises worldwide. 18000 cases of gastrointestinal illness per year...
Cruise ships have been used in several hoaxes, including Costa Concordia and the New Zealand volcanic eruption.
First case, as per Wikipedia
World Dream carried 108 people from Hubei province on a cruise
https://eu.usatoday.com/story/travel/ne ... 665323002/Three people who were on the ship from Jan. 19 to Jan. 24 have tested positive for coronavirus, according to a letter to guests from Dream Cruises, which operates the ship. As a result, Taiwan’s government blocked the ship’s port of call in Kaohsiung and forced its return to Hong Kong on Wednesday. There are 1,871 passengers and 1,820 crew members onboard.
Edith Poon, spokesperson for Genting Hong Kong Limited, the holding company that owns Dream Cruises, confirmed that 30 crew members self-declared symptoms of the virus.
Neatly, the ship sailed again, resulting in 3700 passengers and crew being quarantined...
[Feb 6 2020]There have been more than 24,600 cases diagnosed worldwide, with all but 216 coming from mainland China and Hong Kong and the rest spread across more than 20 countries. Nearly 500 have died and about 1,000 have recovered.
Diamond Princess quarantined for 14 days after 10 positive tests
How many Covid-19 fatalities from all those passengers and crew on the World Dream? Zero.

Only 5 weeks to go to full global pandemic!!!
The Diamond Princess is the key ship, with an English traveller David Abel and his wife making a daily vlog for the national media. The ship had docked at Yokohame, Japan on February 3 and was quarantined with an alleged 10 positive cases onboard. With a little quarantine, this eventually ballooned out to 712 cases and 14 deaths from a similar sized ship, total on board about 3700, most of whom were allegedly tested.
This ship receives little attention at Wiki, surprisingly.
Two other ships of the line also yielded victims for the Corona pandemic -
The Grand Princess which was nowhere near China, but on a cruise in Mexico whem one passenger DIED [see above....] from the previous cruises before the one on March 4. [this is ONE WEEK before a global pandemic was declared]
from Wiki:
and had to return to SF.As a result of increasing reports of former passengers of Grand Princess testing positive, Princess Cruises, the owner and operator of Grand Princess, working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the government of California, and public health officials in San Francisco, terminated a port call in Ensenada, Mexico
122 CASES, allegedly, SEVEN DEAD.The first known person in California to die of the virus at the time,[177] as well as the first cases in Alberta,[194] Hawaii,[195] and Utah,[196] were all former passengers of Grand Princess.
Grand Princess updates here, starting with the aborted cruise to Hawaii which only got as far as Mexico...

Guests Health Advisory – Coronavirus
March 4, 2020
Dear Princess Guest:
I wish to advise you that today we have been notified by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that they are investigating a small cluster of COVID-19 (coronavirus) cases in Northern California connected to our previous Grand Princess voyage that sailed roundtrip San Francisco from February 11 to February 21. We are working closely with our CDC partners and are following their recommendations.
And the last of the trio of Princess line cruises ships, the Ruby Princess nicely hovering off Australia to complete a circle round the Pacific! She docked in Sydney on March 19
all after spreading out after disembarking.On 20 March, it was announced that three passengers and a crew member of Ruby Princess had tested positive for the virus
The death toll reached 21 on 18 April 2020, including two deaths in the United States
The smaller Coral Princess brought the disease to the notice of Florida, having been cruising <a href="https://www.princess.com/news/notices_a ... tml">round South America as the "pandemic was declared</a>, and was at Buenos Aires on March 19. Development of the story:
April 2 passengers confined to rooms when the company noticed a higher than normal number of flu-like cases on board".
April 4 docked Miami with 2 alleged deaths
April 6 passengers more than two thirds of the passengers disembark and scatter. Two more deaths, allegedly, total 12 alleged cases.
April 10 all but 13 passengers disembark and scatter, Ship leaves with [878] crew for "unknown destination" for a 14-day quarantine cruise, which would have ended on April 24. [see below]
Pacific/Regal/Royal Princess cruises seemed to have little impact on the "pandemic" with no "victims", Sun Princess one case.
All these confined cruise ship passengers and huge crews ought to be dropping like flies now.... but I'm sure they're not.
Update on the Coral Princess....looks like another cruise!
The vessel departed from PORT EVERGLADES, US on 2020-04-29 16:21 LT (UTC -4) and is currently sailing at 14.8 knots with Southwest direction heading to ARUBA, AW with reported Estimated Time of Arrival at 2020-05-13 12:00 LT (UTC -4) local time (in 2 days, 22 hours )
The Grand Princess charade has a lot of hoax markers. In reality, the same crew dealt with an extra boat load of passengers after 7 passengers from the earlier cruise started dropping dead. They should all be dropping like flies, crew and 2 lots of 2000 plus passengers!

Princess Cruises confirms that a guest from Hong Kong who traveled for five days on Diamond Princess from Yokohama (Tokyo) on January 20, and disembarked in Hong Kong on January 25, tested positive for coronavirus on February 1, six days after leaving the ship. He was not seen in the ship medical center for any reported illnesses during the voyage. The guest is currently admitted to a local hospital and reported to be in a stable condition.
The safety, security and well-being of all guests and crew are our absolute priority. Our chief medical officer is working with the relevant health authorities to determine if any further action is required. We will provide a further update once we have more information.
Diamond Princess is on a 14-day round trip itinerary, which departed from Yokohama (Tokyo) on January 20 and is scheduled to return on February 4. There are 2,666 guests and 1,045 crew onboard.
This is the key script.
How this turned into a pandemic is beyond thinking. Recall also that the green light was given in Italy on January 31 when "two tourists from Wuhan in ROME [not Northern Italy] tested "positive" for Covid, more than three weeks before the Northern Italian "outbreak" although the virus made a poor job of spreading to all regions of the country....

Let's remind ourselves of the Abels, key messengers from the Diamond Princess....
