Well, that is the part I'm puzzled about that ship. It was reported that all passengers were confined to their cabins, all the time. Afaik, ventilation wasn't shut down, for obvious reasons. Now we have a virus whose spreding mechanisms aren't really understood, and you shower over 3000 people with forced air circulation. Was the whole thing really a good idea? (Some countries have begun to fly out their countrypeople off the boat, so my guess is someone higher up in the foodchain also thinks that initial idea wasn't a too bright one.
