Local Couple Waits out Coronavirus at an Air Base in Texas

Otis Menasco and his wife Carol are waiting out the Coronavirus on Lackland airbase in Texas after being evacuated from a cruise ship off the coast of Japan with dozens of other Americans and Canadians. The Granite Bay couple went from a luxury suite on the ship Diamond Princes to the spartan barracks at Lackland Air Base but say they're grateful they were evacuated.

It didn't happen without some challenging events. Diplomatic crews collected passports from the evacuated passengers only to lose them for a while, fourteen passengers with confirmed Coronavirus were allowed to board the plane (they were separated from healthy passengers) and there was confusion on where the plane was headed. Passengers were originally told they were bound for Travis Air Force Base in California and only found out they were heading to Texas a few hours into the flight.

Hear our conversation with Menasco below.
