A Passenger Tested Positive for Coronavirus After Hundreds Exited a U.S. Cruise Ship, Sparking Fears the Outbreak Could Further Spread Worldwide
The elderly cruise passenger who tested positive for coronavirus after disembarking from a U.S. cruise ship in Cambodia has raised the specter that other passengers now dispersed around the world could be infected too.
Currently, hundreds of passengers from Holland America Line’s Westerdam are being held back in Cambodia, where the ship was allowed to dock last week after being denied entry to multiple ports following rumors of a possible coronavirus on board—despite assurances from the cruise line that there were no signs of the virus, officially named COVID-19, in any passengers.
After the shipped docked in ...

A passenger on a cruise ship that was denied entry from several countries amid concerns about the spread of a deadly coronavirus was confirmed to be infected with the novel coronavirus after she and her husband disembarked when the ship was allowed to dock in Cambodia.

So far, the overwhelming number of new cases of the virus, which originated in Wuhan, China, remain in China. There are only 11 confirmed cases in the U.S.

In 2019, the World Health Organization declared vaccine hesitancy a top threat to global health,1 and the United States experienced the largest number of measles infections since 1992, almost losing measles elimination status. Vaccine disinformation flourishes on social media, where misleading click-bait conspiracies go viral and families, physicians, and public health advocates are bullied and threatened to silence support for vaccination. As a result, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that rates of young children not receiving certain vaccinations continue to increase, with states reporting rates as...

Wuhan Coronavirus Infections Have Now Surpassed the Official Number of SARS Cases in China

Exposure to diesel exhaust particles increases susceptibility to invasive pneumococcal disease

Antibody-coated microbiota in nasopharynx of healthy individuals and IVIg-treated patients with hypogammaglobulinemia
Respiratory diseases are important causes of death, which collectively account for more than 1 in 10 of all deaths worldwide (World Health Organization). Pathobionts, potential pathogenic bacteria that under normal circumstances are present as harmless microorganisms, can be found embedded in the nasopharyngeal commensal microbiota. Interestingly, the composition of the upper airway microbiome seems very similar to that of the lung, and pathobionts present in the nasopharynx can be a primary source of lower respiratory tract infections.
