- Among the 2,400 passengers stranded off the California coast on a cruise ship carrying at least 21 people infected with coronavirus, few people aboard likely have more to lose than Kari Kolstoe, a retiree from North Dakota with stage-4 cancer.

“Those that need to be quarantined will be quarantined,” including all 1,100 crew members, many of whom may have been exposed to coronavirus during the previous Mexico voyage, Pence said.
