As opposed to the sane evaluation that a ship - civilian or military - is essentially a floating Petri dish.

People crammed on ships get sick with the same thing pretty frequently...that's why a cruise has never been on my to-do list.
Intense GI distress is something I don't want at all and certainly don't want to share with a ship full of strangers....same goes for hacking, wheezing, might die from URIs.

The (acting) sec of the navy resigned in disgrace after flying out to the plague ship at taxpayer expense to tell the crew to stop loving their stupid captain who tried to save their lives, and his speech aboard the vessel found it's way to the media.
They tried to stop that from happening, and failed.
