    How come cruise ships are such strong vectors? Extended repeated contact?

        Maybe they're like Burning Man for elders, they just didn't tell us about all the orgies.

        Isn't it the air conditioning system? Not as good as in planes

        Relatively large populations in a small confined space, the inability to truly quarantine someone who is ill, inadequate disinfection of surfaces between loads of passengers, poorly maintained waste disposal systems, sewage, etc. Paradise for the hardy, infectious virus.

        I was just thinking about this the other day. If you zoom way out on the size scale, it's basically a sealed tube of creatures producing filth and bacteria, which can't be ventilated because it's a maze like an anthill.

        I compare it to a pill made of steel, porous, and seeded with mold and fungus. Looks smooth on the outside but look through a microscope and ohhhh no.

        Everyone brings their own mix of shit they've mostly gotten over. The added viral load decreases your immune system's ability to fight any one disease. And everyone's mingling and coughing on the shrimp. They're like a petri dish with agar made of rich folks.

        God hates the types of people that go on cruises. Known in the epidemiology community as the "inverted-Noah-effect"

        Just easy to measure. Coronavirus Is probably already way more spread than we know, just in a more unreachable population. One example: the first coronavirus death in Spain happened well before the first case was detected. They discovered it through autopsy weeks later
