    “Be asked to” it better be enforced. We already know how stupid people can be when their mild inconvenience may save others.

    Eh, why don’t they keep the ship cruising for a couple of months , like the Flying Dutchman? Admittedly, I’m a bit biased though, I have a profound dislike of cruise ships and everybody on them; climate killers and climate catastrophe tourists.

    The disease might not show symptoms for around 1-8 weeks, which at the top end is 56 days.
