Cruise ships are floating quarantine death camps, since all passenger rooms share the same (contaminated) air, and there’s no way to escape

As reported by the South China Morning Post, the Diamond Princess cruise ship that’s currently quarantined off the coast of Japan had 70 confirmed infections just two days ago, but now that numbers has leaped to 136 confirmed infections as testing is expanded to a large number of passengers. Early test results showed that 22% of the passengers were testing positive for the Wuhan coronavirus, and while that number may settle as more passengers are tested, it’s legitimately worrisome to anyone thinking about taking a cruise.
....These infections are no fault of the cruise lines themselves. Rather, they are a product of the very structure of cruise vacations: Constricted vessels carrying thousands of people from different countries who all share the same air, same hand rails, same elevator buttons, same poker machines, and so on.
A cruise ship is a paradise for a pandemic, since it’s a captive population of potential victims who are, by their very nature, co-mingling in shared public spaces throughout the entire cruise experience.
...My personal opinion is that any person who boards a cruise line right now is certifiably insane,...
...the existence of coronavirus “super spreaders” — who can spread the infection to 50 or more people just by standing among them in a crowd — bypasses the utility of such measures. When the virus is highly infectious and spreads through the air, it almost doesn’t matter how much chlorine you dump into the pool on the top deck, in other words.
Despite their best efforts, cruise lines simply do not have the screening capacity, nor the on-board infrastructure to properly handle a sudden outbreak of a BSL-4 biological weapon that is now known to easily evade detection / screening efforts.
...no media outlet is warning passengers to avoid boarding cruise ships.
Cruise ships are essentially floating quarantine death camps, in my view, and you are literally a prisoner on the ship, with no right to leave the ship once a quarantine has been declared.
.....At the same time, the passenger room air isn’t isolated on a room-by-room basis, meaning you’re often breathing the same air that’s been mixed with other passengers’ rooms. Obviously, when you’re dealing with an airborne pathogen, this fact becomes more than a bit concerning.

The number of passengers and crew on board is now 3,622, a health ministry official said.
