One has died in the U.S too. Mike Pence obviously didn't pray hard enough.

No myo he did.
The person that died wasn't a Trump supporter

I see the passenger was from the Diamond Princess and elderly, so he would have been one of the high risk patients, unfortunately.

 

I am very suspicious of the sheer number of passengers on that ship who came down with it, even though they were placed in quarantine within the ship. I suspect the air conditioning might have helped spread the virus. You can't turn it off or control it, not in the inside cabins anyway.

 

I was reading that Australian school cleaners were recently sent emails inviting them to a top job, short term (6 days I think) good pay, free travel, protective clothing supplied.

It was to be flown in to clean the Diamond Princess.

 

Now, that's a worry. I worked in schools for years, got to know the cleaners well. You do, you chat to them all the time as they go about their work before & after school. I know that the companies that employ them allow very little time to do the job, as in, they only get paid for a set amount of hours at the school, it is not top pay and the calculated hours tend to be on the optimistic side.

One of the cleaners told me that after you factored in emptying all bins to the dumper, cleaning toilet blocks, staffroom etc, each classroom needed to be cleaned within about 3-4 minutes.

You know how big a classroom is. That's not a lot of time to vacuum, mop, clean windows, get down cobwebs, clean sinks etc

 

What are the odds that the company would also be pushing the workers on the Diamond Princess to the max?

Time is money.

Then of course,  the cleaners given the job would be coming back to clean schools, mixing it with the kids, staff, parents. Another top idea by someone.

 

PS Just as a matter of interest, who would be willing to pop onto the Diamond Princess any time soon for a cruise? Not I, not for a few months.

My EC tried to force me to take a job as a School cleaner but I refused because you don't get paid for any extra time you have to put in and being a diabetic intense physical effort and in summer high heat cause me to go hypo very easily and I pointed out that if I die at work they're no longer going to get their money for getting me a job

It was summer when they tried to force me to take the job on and I was going to have to start a half hour later due to my School Crossing Supervisor duties and then work through tea time and with the diabetes being diet controlled it's important that I maintain regular meal times.
None of my concerns were being listened to until I said that the possibility of me actually dying due to a hypo that it sunk in that then they wouldn't get their money.
Unfortunately for the Job Network agencies nothing matters but the money.

It's extremely sad that this person has passed away and I think they should have been taken off the ship immediately and quarantined in Australia because there was obviously a lack of proper procedure being maintained on that ship.
All those people need to sue that company, they put their lives at risk for way too long
