"Family contracts COVID on board Ruby Princess cruise... one passenger tells KRON4 that everyone in the family had managed to avoid COVID for the entirety of the pandemic but “ended up with it on this vacation.” #RubyPrincess #cruise #pandemic (Article date: July 9, 2023) https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/family-contracts-covid-on-board-ruby-princess-cruise/?utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=referral

@ai6yr Do cruises make people sign releases saying they understand and accept the risk of contracting covid, norovirus, and other illnesses? If they have a policy against publicizing infection rates, it wouldn't really be informed consent would it.

It's like the Leopards Eating Faces Party not disclosing that they'll eat anyone's face including yours and all the while campaigning for you to vote for the Leopards Eating Faces Party.

@ai6yr This part is the real kicker: "Since this article was published, two more families who were on board the Ruby Princess cruise during the June 26-July 6 trip contacted KRON4 to say that they had also had several family members test positive for COVID."
