Never, ever, has a cruise or a flight come back with half the passengers sick from something. But I agree, for some people, it's better to live in a shell.

You'll have to find a better example. The second paragraph of your article notes that "345 passengers of the 3,035 passengers (11.4%)" were sick. That isn't even close to half.
