Tight quarters indeed, and that can really be the problem. The service crew are living four to a room and eat buffet style. Those same people are preparing and delivering food to the passengers. With an incubation period of five or six days I suspect it's too late to prevent spread. If tomorrow's number is 200 cases the cat is long out of the bag.... Does the 14 day quarantine clock reset each time there is a new case?
