Virus Outbreak on Cruise Ship

You get out of Jimmys taxi after an hour - you get off a plane after 1 to whatever hours - you go home after the farm visit - try getting of a cruise ship when fellow pax are dropping around you. 🤷‍♂️

I’ve done 1 cruise in my life - never again - but each to their own

On a cruise ship, they put those affected in isolation and a doctor attends to them .

Jimmys taxi, or a plane or a farm visit yes, you go home and then you spread it to everyone else around you, uncontrolled. And then you’re free to get on another plane and spread it around even more!

Better, or worse scenario?
Reason number 102,421,431 to never go on a cruise ship
Yeah, because you never catch viruses anywhere else but on cruise ships. Like the index case in this one didn’t. If they didn’t get on a cruise ship after they were infected, they would’ve gotten on a plane and spread it from there. Would that be a reason not to ever catch a plane?

And I doubt anybody in the rural industry had ever heard of this prior to current Cruise Ship outbreak.
And in this case, there is no Hanta in Ushuaia either. The index passenger got it in Patagonia (Northern argentina).
There is an outbreak there with over 100 infections and 32 deaths since June 2025.
The last Hanta super spreader event (34 confirmed infections) was in 2018 near that region as well

The index passenger was a bird watcher. I don't think we can blame bird watching or cruise ships either.

The 3 second rule is also a myth. If you drop something it is a myth that bacterial or viral contamination does not occur if you pick up a piece of bread within 3 seconds of dropping it on the floor. You could just touch the door handle of Jimmy's taxi and immediately pick up something from the previous customer (or Jimmy). I would bet that Jimmy does not disinfect the grown up taxi after every customer. 😉

So a Cruise Ship safest place on the planet Rooey?

That's not your usual thoughtfulness in reply, Cruiser.

Which is the better scenario for virus-carriers I mentioned? Cruise boats, with containment (followed by reporting and publicity and OTT reactions) or planes with no containment and never-hear-a-word-about it?
