The rescued boys will be quarantined and tested for the potentially fatal airborne lung disease histoplasmosis, or ‘cave disease.’

Caused by a fungus found in bird or bat droppings, the infection can spread in wet, humid areas when microscopic spores are inhaled into the lungs.

Symptoms, which are similar to pneumonia, can develop anywhere from three to 17 days after exposure to the fungus.

Oh my gosh, that’s awful. Can one of the divers stay in there with him until he can be brought out? I can’t imagine having to wait in there alone.

@Polly Ticks

The Thai Navy SEALs have been staying with the boys in the cave since they were found on Monday night.

I'm sure some will stay with the coach if he is left for another day to be rescued.

Two hours ago they started to bring the remaining people home. News stories look like tgey will try to bring up all 5. 

We will know more in a few hours.

Yea!

Thanks, @Freya:beer:

Thanks my iPhone! It started beeping like crazy. I thought it was an Amber alert or a hurricane:tornado.

I’m going back to bed. They say it will be several hours before the other boys  come up . I think they are doing all 5. (Fingers crossed)

An amazing rescue that I had thought couldn't be done.

Kudos to all involved!

addendum:
For some reason, Drudge has been silent on this rescue, at least up until 9am Tuesday morn...

So thankful to hear that all have been rescued ... and that none had to stay buried underground alone to wait his turn!

PRAISE THE LORD!!!!

(This feels a lot like a MIRACLE!)
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.
