"Aboard the Diamond Princess"
Kentaro Iwata, professor of infectious diseases at Kobe University Hospital, posted a YouTube video after he boarded the Diamond Princess cruise ship on Tuesday. In the clip, he described a chaotic environment, saying he was appalled by a "completely inadequate system of infection control on board."
Iwata will speak to the FCCJ about his time on board via Skype from his self-imposed exile in a hotel.
