Why Cruise Ships Are a Bad Place to Quarantine Coronavirus Patients
- fatlasp 7y agoSo, isn't the implication here that quarantining people in apartment buildings is going to be equally ineffective?
- pmiller2 7y agoMore like quarantining people outside of a facility equipped to handle it is a bad idea. You really need a negative pressure room[0] to contain an airborne pathogen like this.

- rtkwe 7y agoMost apartments I've lived in have their own HVAC system that's separated from any other apartment's system. Though things like central corridors are probably still a problem and need some kind of decontamination system.
- rdiddly 7y agoI mean it's not so much that it's a bad place to quarantine people, it's that they put both sick people and well people inside the quarantine. (i.e. taking for granted what seemed obvious to me all along, which is that the boundary of the quarantine is the outer hull of the ship)
