Why do so many cruise ships have these major outbreaks of illness? It seems that we hear about this problem about ten times a year.
It’s media bias. Stomach viruses go around hotels, restaurants, schools, government offices, etc. but it’s not the gleeful event that allows luxury travelers to get their comeuppance with a media story.
Just like they report priest abuses, but not public school teacher abuses.
The ships are staffed with third world refugees, unaccustomed to sanitary practices.
