TWO THOUGHTS about hearing of yet another cruise ship epidemic:

1. it’s a good sign. it means health officials at ports of call are doing their jobs well.

2. it’s a bad sign. it means, after COVID19, cruise companies haven’t invested in any of the technologies that mitigate the spread of viral infections in confined spaces.
