75,201/2012. On WHO weekly call with Mike Ryan. 1700 health
care workers have been infected. Starting to discuss the role of environmental
(surfaces) spread of virus, particularly in the context of the Diamond Princess.
Mike Ryan makes good point that the stringent control efforts of China are putting
pressure on the virus not to spread. This is somewhat artificial. He is concerned
that the virus in other countries that cannot be so draconian in control we might
see a resurgence of the virus that is being artificially controlled in China.

CDC Comms concerned that I am being too hard on the Japanese by sayng
publicly that their quarantine failed. They contacted Courtney. Too bad. I tell it
like it is. They completely messed up the infection control on the Diamond
Princess. They had over 500 people infected on the ship. Problem is that
Japanese are releasing people into the community from the ship without the
complete 14 day quarantine. They consider being on the ship as quarantine when
it is not. We have “do not board” orders on the people who have left the ship until
they are off the ship for 14 days.
