Italian cruise ship quarantined with thousands aboard due to possible coronavirus | TheHill
Thousands of passengers are being kept in quarantine aboard an Italian cruise liner after a 56-year-old woman began showing signs of contracting the coronavirus.
ABC 7 reported Thursday that as many as 6,000 people remain aboard the Costa Smeralda vessel, currently sitting about 35 miles off the coast of Rome. The woman and her husband are originally from Macao, an autonomous region off the coast of China's mainland.
======================================================================
I'm reminded of the movie 'On the Beach', adapted from a novel by Neville Shutte. In one scene there is a Salvation Army-like band with placards, & a few people. At the end the movie there is no one left there. They are all dead, But there is a closeup of the banner: 'THERE IS STILL TIME, BROTHER.'
