Problem is that 695 is now 693 as two more have died and many more are still in icu. Adding to this is the damage done to the lungs which is being seen in patients even with mild symptoms. If they didn't test people and the boat wasn't locked down in quarantine after, then the number of those infected would of been greatly higher.
When it was announced that 5 staff from the Diamond Princess had it in Japan, I think we all realised they were screwed. The boat docked off California .. 19 staff tested positive first tests. "Pence said 21 positive results had been recorded – 19 crew members and two passengers"

Could be 19 cooks however I think FoxNews is sure its 19 mechanics, because the boat in Japan was front page news for 3 days, yet the current boats a side story.
