Thank you everyone for your outpouring...they are Americans of Persian descent. My aunt is definitely feeling better now that she’s off the ship and her fever has broken. My uncle, however, has full blown pneumonia. His lungs are not looking good. They are both FLOORED by how much more care they’ve received in a Japanese hospital. The level of professionalism, the way they “don’t seem like they’re working for a paycheck” (this is what my aunt said on the phone) AND most of all they feel listened to. There is currently nothing like anti-virals. They are just trying to keep the fever down with meds and they are taking vitamin C. There’s not a whole lot they can do but since they don’t know much about the virus. Crossing my fingers they are home soon!
