AIDAmira is indeed docked in Cape Town Harbour.
However, I think they might have refused permission to the MV Corona (unfortunate name).
The app is Marine Radar.

The real idiots are the ones stocking up on toilet paper and not much else.

Now tell me you won't swop a can of baked beans and bully beef for a toilet role if you're desperate?

 

[Hamster]

I hope my kids aren't stupid one day.

 

[Unhappy438]

August - September 2019, "statewide outbreak" of a mysterious respiratory emerged in the US, causing severe respiratory diseases in a few hundred people. This was blamed on vaping although people had been vaping for more than a decade without such outbreaks. Officials were unable to find any relation to a specific vaping device and addictive.

Mysterious vaping lung injuries may have flown under regulatory radar

Lung doctors said they had seen warning signs for years that vaping could be hazardous.

August 2019 - Jan 2020, the US CDC reported that the US is gearing up for one of the worst flu seasons ever, with 12000 deaths. On 12 March 2020, the CDC director admitted that some COVID-19 deaths were misdiagnosed as the flu because COVID-19 were found when they did posthumous tests.

Flu Now Widespread in 45 States, What to Know

As expected, flu activity picked up over the holidays. There have now been at least 6.4 million flu illnesses, 55,000 hospitalizations, and 2,900 flu-related deaths.

October 18 - 27, 2019, the 2019 Military World Games was held in Wuhan. The US sent a contingent of 350 athletes. They did not win any medals. The athletes toured Wuhan.

November 2019, the Chinese press reported that five athletes who had suffered from infectious disease had been discharged from hospital.

November 2019, Wuhan locals were detected with COVID-19, with a spike of such terms in local social media. This coincided with the post-incubation period after the Military World Games.

The first COVID-19 case originated on November 17, according to Chinese officials searching for 'patient zero'

It wasn't until late December that Chinese officials realized they had a new kind of virus on their hands.

www.businessinsider.sg

December 1, 2019, the first confirmed case of COVID-19 was detected in Wuhan. Subsequently more than 80000 people will be infected. Of the first 41 cases, 34% were not related to the wildlife market.

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30183-5/fulltext

Daniel Lucey, an infectious disease specialist at Georgetown University, claimed that because there is an incubation time between infection and symptoms surfacing, and the presence of infected people with no links to wildlife market, the virus could not have originated from the wildlife market. Kristian Andersen, an evolutionary biologist at the Scripps Research Institute, agreed with the assessment.

Genotype assay of COVID-19 revealed 5 variants/strains (group ABCDE) of the virus. Most regions in the world have 1-2 COVID-19 variants including Hubei (mainly group C), and UK (Group . US is the only country with all 5 variants (Group ABCDE). In Virology 101, the region with the most variants is the origin of the disease.

25 Jan, 2020, Japanese couple went for a 10 days vacation in Hawaii. On the second week they fell ill. On return to Japan they were tested and confirmed to have COVID-19.

The husband and wife, both in their 60s, were confirmed to have the virus after returning home to Japan. Officials in Hawaii were racing to find people they may have met in the state.

Italy lab confirmed that the strain of COVID-19 is different from the one circulating in China, and that the circulation of the virus is not so recent, and had been spreading undetected for weeks.

Coronavirus may have been in Italy for weeks before it was detected

Test results worry experts as new cases emerge in Nigeria, Mexico and New Zealand

www.theguardian.com

China's coronavirus expert Dr Zhong Nanshan, the discoverer of SARS, said that although COVID-19 was detected in China, it doesn't necessary mean that it originated from China.

As of March 12, 2020, the US had only tested 10000 people, and COVID-19 was confirmed in 1600 of them. As a comparison South Korea tests 10000 people a day, but the disease rate trajectory is the same as the US. This suggests that there is a great number of infected people in the US, just that they were not tested.

How the US stacks up to other countries in confirmed coronavirus cases

The United States has about a third of the world’s coronavirus cases.

No I don't think a Mediterranean one. Just normal stuff in African waters.

Nothing? Really?

Number of Influenza (normal flu) deaths in Italy from October 2019 to January 2020 was at 240 deaths.

Number of deaths in Italy due to Covid-19 - 2158. That is from the 15th of February 2020.

How is that nothing?

I was the proud owner of a 130 IQ brain once. Chuffed lol.
Than I started drinking. Because of all the kak we have had to endure in the last 25 years.
So, I'm not smart anymore. But I'm wiser

I can nit-pick numbers to suit my narrative too...

Globally, 7 500 deaths (Covid-19). Flu 650 000 annually, so around 1 000 deaths just today.

But wait there is more...

In SA, around 22 000 TB deaths a year. This excluded those who had HIV. So that's about 60 deaths a day.

I can play this stupid little game of yours all day...

Italy has the highest average age in Europe, and who would have thought that the elderly are of higher risk of dying from Covid-19 /facepalm
