[John Berman, Cnn:] More on our breaking news, as we report at the top of the program that after staying at sea for several days, the Grand Princess Cruise Ship has docked in Oakland, California, and some people have now been allowed to leave the ship. There are at least 21 people or there were at least 21 people on board with coronavirus. CNN's Nick Watt joins us now live from Oakland. Nick, what more do we know about who exactly is off the ship and who remains on board?
[Nick Watt, Cnn Correspondent:] Well, John, the headline is that this is going to take quite some time, 3500 people aboard that ship and everybody is going to get tested as they come up. So, the first priority was with people with acute medical requirements. They, we believe, are now off. Next up will be the 962 people aboard that ship who are California residents. There are buses waiting to take them to Travis Air Force Base where they will continue their 14-day quarantine. Others will head down to Miramar down in San Diego. Then residents other residents of the U.S. will get put on planes and taken to bases in Texas and Georgia. And also the U.S. government has been working with the Brits and the Canadians to get their nationals off this ship and out of this country as quickly as possible. They will be bussed onto the tarmac at local airports and put straight on charter planes back home as of the U.S. So, this will probably take a couple of days. They'll carry on for another couple of hours now until it gets dark. Then they say they will cease disembarkation overnight, start up again in the morning. Again, John, one other word we just heard from a Florida couple, they have already filed suit, looking for a million dollars in damages against the cruise lines, saying that the cruise lines put this ship to sea knowing that it was infected. The cruise line tells CNN that the safety and health of the passengers and crew is always paramount to them and they won't comment on ongoing litigation. John?
[Berman:] So Nick, the majority of people that tested positive for coronavirus, they're crew members. Will they be allowed to leave?
[Watt:] Right. They will not. Yes, you're right. Of the 46 tested, 21 were positive, 19 were crew. They will not be allowed off. Once all the passengers are off, that ship is going to go back out to sea where the crew will serve the rest of their quarantine away from everybody else. John.
[Berman:] All right, Nick Watt for us in Oakland. All right, Nick, thank you very much. One of the passengers aboard the grand princess is Kari Kolstoe, a 60- year-old woman from North Dakota who has a serious medical condition, separate and apart from coronavirus. She's been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and is supposed to be going home for treatment. She and her husband had planned the cruise as a vacation in between her radiation treatments. I spoke to Kari shortly before we came to air. So Kari, first of all, how are you doing? How do you feel? I see your smile. Is it genuine?
[Kari Kolstoe, Cancer Patient Who Just Left The Grand Princess Cruise Ship:] My smile is genuine right now. We've had a number of crying days this morning. I'm in a fair amount of pain and I had some pretty heavy duty painkillers. We earlier were given the understanding that I wasn't going to get off today, and so we are actually awaiting getting off the ship any time. They passed out masks and came in and got luggage and so I have no idea where I'm going, but any place off this ship would be great. I've got as the day goes on, the battle gets tough to bear with the pain. So, hopefully, we can hold it together long enough to get somewhere.
[Berman:] So just to be clear, you have been told you're getting off shortly, within hours, but have you no idea where you're going?
[Kolstoe:] That's correct. The only person I've seen or talked to is a man at 3:00 p.m. 3:00 a.m. in a hazmat suit. He identified himself as a physician and asked me questions about my medical needs. Other than that, through this ordeal I have talked or heard from no one.
[Berman:] So that person in a hazmat suit is the only person that's aware of your serious medical condition, correct?
[Kolstoe:] He's I believe they were notified by Senator Cramer's office and various other ways. But on the ship, the only person I've talked to is the man in the hazmat suit at 3:00 a.m.
[Berman:] And the doctors back in North Dakota, your doctors, what are they telling you now about your treatment? Will it start when you're in quarantine, wherever that might be?
[Kolstoe:] We have no real idea. We sure hope that's the plan, because it's imperative that I get both my radiation and my chemotherapy started as soon as possible. We know the cancer is growing. We're told to go ahead and go on the cruise by everybody, including my palliative care physicians. You know, when you have a chronic serious condition like I have, we're always weighing the risks versus what's right for our family and what's right for, you know, everyone else. I know there's lots of folks on this ship that have story and they all have a good story. And I don't expect to have preferential treatment, but I do expect that our story gets told too, and how I need to get this treatment.
[Berman:] What have you been doing the last few days to get through this? This trip was supposed to be the one that took your mind off your problems. So how have you been working through these last few days and how is your family holding up?
[Kolstoe:] Well, we are holdings up well. We have two grown daughters who are manning the dog and all the other things, the one back at home. They are, of course, frightened, but we are very faith-filled family. We believe that good will come out of this and that somehow we'll trust in God and something good will happen. Right now, it isn't terribly evident what that is, but we're hoping that we get some clarity to that soon.
[Berman:] Well, Kari, I can tell with you that smile, I know something good will happen. We wish you the best of luck and the best of health, wherever you may go. And I hope you find out where that is soon.
[Kolstoe:] We do, too. It's a little unnerving, but it's forward progress and that's all we're asking for.
[Berman:] Good luck. Thanks so much for speaking with us.
[Kolstoe:] Thank you.
[Berman:] So you heard, Kari, say they were hoping to get off the ship at any time. Well, we just got word at moments ago she was able to disembark the Grand Princess. We'll try to find out where she is headed. I'm sure she is trying to find out too. We will update you on her progress and, of course, we wish her all the best. Still more breaking news straight ahead, reaction to the alarming drop in the stock market today, why it happened and what might be in store for tomorrow.
