NOW I am getting suspicious of the safety of systems on any ship to keep the inhabitants safe from viruses. I have personal knowledge of several neighbors and friends who have returned from cruises with rather nasty stomach flu. And of course the major fiasco with Covid-19 on cruise lines. I don't know whether it is the close proximity or some faulty system like water or air, or all of the above. You couldn't pay me to board any large sailing vessel at them time. I think of all of them as HMS Petri Dish.
Gracie, these are purpose built hospital ships, they are as well equipped as a land based hospital. Nothing like a cruise ship.
