I think the huge risk is that it takes days or weeks to travel between ports thus giving the virus time to incubate and show itself unlike flyers. We can't have people who mostly aren't a threat causing problems!
Seriously these people present less of a threat than jet travel but they are decidedly blue collar. Maybe that's the distinction?
- lambda_obrien 6y agoIt's even easier than that: quarantine any ship that has made port in the last 2 weeks and the crew was allowed to disembark and let any ship with no sign of disease where the crew has been onboard for 2 weeks to disembark. Then, the crews can disembark at least every 2 weeks, and it's pretty simple to verify whether a ship has allowed it's crew to disembark; check their port logs.
- closeparen 6y agoChange that to forty days and you’ve got the literal, original meaning of the word “quarantine.”
