But there are people on your ship who may have ncov2019 in it's incubation period. I don't see why it's necessary to risk the lives of our nation's elderly, who are very much loved, who are most at risk from these viruses. In addition while this viruses transmission to cats is unconfirmed unlike the h1n1 where it did happen, I also don't see why it's necessary to risk it. It just takes 1 person in the incubation period infecting someone else who frequents a cat cafe to devastate a community (and the cats would get a bunch of people sick as well). The US has a travel ban for foreigners who have been in China, but they also ask people to self quarantee if they've been in contact with those from areas where the virus is more widespread, which is everyone on your ship. It's unfortunate to be stuck on a ship and it's unfortunate that your captain didn't anticipate these measures.
