Bloomberg:

Carnival executives knew they had a virus problem, but kept the party going. More than 1,500 people on the company’s cruise ships have been diagnosed with Covid-19, and dozens have died.

At least seven more of the company’s ships at sea have become virus hot spots, resulting in more than 1,500 positive infections and at least 39 fatalities. Carnival notes that “other cruise companies have been impacted.”

Carnival’s ships have become a floating testament to the viciousness of the new coronavirus and raised questions about corporate negligence and fleet safety.

No offense to fans of cruises but this is an entire industry we’d be better off without.
