[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The US has passed the 500 case mark.

We now have 512 cases.  This includes 70 cases among Diamond Princess and Wuhan evacuees and cases from the Grand Princess.

There are strains that make determining point of contact easier.  The person called Taiwanese American apparently lives in Taiwan and the strain matches Nile cruisers.  Taiwan had a tour group to Israel that flew on the same flight as a released Diamond Princess passenger [Israeli ].  https://focustaiwan.tw/society/202003020024

"11-member tour group flew from Taipei to Istanbul on Feb. 27 and then from Istanbul to Tel Aviv on Turkish Airlines flight TK784 early on the morning of Feb. 28.
The Israeli passenger also took flight TK784 on his return to Israel from Japan, after having presumably recovered from his novel coronavirus infection developed on the ill-fated Diamond Princess cruise ship.
He was diagnosed with COVID-19 soon after arriving home, however, and all other people who had been on TK784 were required to leave Israel immediately as a precaution"

Have DC, MD, VA given out flight numbers or TX which has more Nile River cruisers?  Every Nile Rver cruiser should be monitored and at a minimum go into self-quarantine.[/quote]

Agree that they should give out flight numbers out of interest in public health. Lots of people come in contact with passengers from flights and not just other passengers. There are people that work in customs area, wheelchair pushers, various airline employees.

And at Dulles, depending on the time of the day, there can be 5 or 6 flights all coming in at the same time and all standing together in the passport control lines together for sometimes a long time.

I happen to know a couple who was on a Nile rive cruise last week and are now coming back from Europe through Dulles. Refusing to self-quarantine. DW thinks I should call the health department and alert them to their arrival. Would that do anything?

You 100% should call.[/quote]
