Not me ... my time at sea was with healthy people
I see some kind of similarity here with the man that died in Hong Kong had only been in China for a few hours before he took at cruise in Japan. So he comes back tested positive and died in Hong Kong (which now has the nurses on strike) and I wondered if he had passed it on to the ships passengers.
Now there are two cruise ships in Japan with the same virus problems
Ten people aboard a quarantined cruise ship run by Doral-based Carnival have tested positive for coronavirus, including one American.

One Filipino crew member, two Australian passengers, three Japanese passengers, one passenger from the U.S. and three passengers from Hong Kong have all tested positive aboard the Diamond Princess, which will remained locked down for at least 14 more days in Japan, Princess Cruises said in a statement Tuesday.
Japanese health officials held the Diamond Princess ship at the Yokohama port outside Tokyo on Tuesday to inspect all 3,711 people on board because a man tested positive for the virus on Feb. 1 after disembarking in Hong Kong.
The Japanese military has taken the people who have the virus to local hospitals, the company said. Around half of the 2,666 passengers on board the ship are from Japan; 416 are from the U.S.
