That's interesting. Guess it's up and running in Japan.

Since one of the cases mentioned caught it in Hawaii then that suggests it's there as well. It was probably always going to be like putting the genie back in the bottle no matter how many drastic measures were brought in to contain it. With a potential 24-day incubation period it would seem to be even more of a losing battle.

The cruise ship is also disturbing - when they quarantine these places it's almost like a certain number of people are condemned to catching it 'to protect the greater good'. Over 218 confirmed cases now on the Diamond Princess.
