There has been a small hospital facility on every cruise I have been on. I had excellent care during a cardiac event on one ship. The doctor who helped me spent 6 months on board and six months as an A&E consultant every year. They even had a small operating theatre.

These people died on board though so the facilities can't have been up to much.

It needs an induced come and intubation, turning, parenteral feeding, drips, steroids i/v antibiotics. Not a chance you would get all that on a cruise ship.

I happened on this fantastic post about the effects of the Andes virus news on a pandemic-traumatised public. It's by an American epidemiologist but universally applicable, I think.

Her closing paragraph: Hantavirus may be contained. But the conditions that made these two weeks so destabilizing are not. The real outbreak is one of fractured trust, unhealed trauma, and absent leadership. No one is coming to fix it but us. We all have a role to play.
