    I believe this is brought aboard by a Passenger,possibly more than one and unknowingly. I understand you can be infected for up to ten days before you are aware of it. By which time it is much too late after you have joined the ship. It is not unknown in Hospitals in the UK,as well.

    The Statendam had a quite a few cases on board and I was only on the ship six days from San Diego to Honolulu.
    So must have been brought on board by some passenger.
