Also, that early in the game, around January 2020, very little was known wrt COVID. We got off a ship at the end of January and a number of passengers we happened to know fell ill just before and shortly after leaving the ship, including us. Unbeknownst to them, they helped spread it.
So, need to throw the B S flag here.

We were on a 5 day Western Caribbean cruise and very literally returned home the day before the ports were closed. The ships that had set sail had to turn right around and come back. I felt so bad for those passengers.
I can tell you that no one on our cruise was worried about COVID, no one in the ports that we spoke to even mentioned COVID. People were having fun, enjoying beautiful weather, entertainment on the ship....and when we got back home after a wonderful trip, suddenly the world shut down. Schools closed, businesses shut down and we had to be on stay at home orders....unless you were out trying to find toilet paper, of course. Grocery store and fast workers were "essential" and went to work. But doctor and dental offices shut down.
The whole thing was absolutely nuts.
