不過有美國人唔走,唔想等多14日
•American man Matthew Smith, 57, is one of 3,700 passengers stuck aboard the quarantined Diamond Princess cruise held in Japan
•The ship is being quarantined for two weeks after a former passenger was diagnosed with coronavirus and it'll end on February 19
•Since the quarantine was announced by Japanese authorities on February 5, at least 355 people have been confirmed to have coronavirus
•The State Department on Friday announced plans to airlift some 380 American nationals stuck on board the ship and fly them back to the United States
•But Smith says he doesn't want to be quarantined an additional 14 days on a military base, which is what the American government is planning
Matthew Smith (above) and his wife, Katherine Codekas, of California, are two of an estimated 380 American nationals on board a cruise ship that has been docked in a Japanese port for almost the last two weeks
Japanese authorities say at least 355 people on board the Diamond Princess (seen above in Yokohama on Saturday) have been infected with coronavirus
Smith accused the State Department of 'throwing a monkey wrench' into the quarantine
He prefers to be let off the ship, tested, and to be allowed back into the United States after having proven he is not sick

Smith has been busy posting images and messages on his Twitter feed detailing his trip
Smith says that the workers on board the ship have been feeding him and his wife three times a day
Smith also posted images of the face masks distributed on board the ship
Smith thanked his supporters on Twitter for their 'compassionate thoughts, words, and best wishes'
