A passenger aboard a cruise ship docked in Sydney Harbour is being tested for possible coronavirus. The Australian understands that NSW Health are assessing a Singaporean man who fell ill with a respiratory complaint.

The cruise ship arrived in Sydney this morning having believed to be at other Australian ports after travelling from New Zealand.

The Norwegian Jewel arrived in Sydney this morning at 6am and is docked at the international passenger terminal at Circular Quay. The 294m ship has a guest capacity of 2376 people and 1060 crew.

A source said the man was being tested as a precaution and had not yet been confirmed to have the virus.

When the PAP refused to shut the border, thousands of Ah Tiong came and have already spread the virus. Too late now. Hope the situation gets worse and we have get rid of all foreigners. We will then rebuild Sinkieland for Sinkies without the fucking PAP.

Yes, if only they acted earlier. But that's water under the bridge now, but I hope sinkies don't forget.

In times like this, cruise ships are floating coffins. The small clinic and mortuary on board aren't enough to deal with an epidemic.

Better go to the emergency assembly point, and throw yourself into the sea.

If the food supply runs out, passengers and crew can one another.

In a way, Sinkieland is akin to a cruise ship. Limited space, densely populated, people living very close to one another. In a nutshell, we are fucked.
