172 fall ill on Carnival's Crown Princess cruise from California
2014-11-17
[Rooters] - A cruise ship with 172 passengers and crew members suffering from a gastrointestinal ailment caused by norovirus was met by public health officials when it docked in California on Sunday, authorities and Carnival Corp said.

The outbreak marks the second time in less than a year that the highly contagious virus has spread on the company's Crown Princess ship, which is part of its Princess Cruises fleet. On the latest trip, the ship carried more than 4,100 people on a cruise that departed nearly a month ago from Los Angeles and included stops in Hawaii and Tahiti.
Nothing says viral pathogen factory like 4000 people on a cruise ship.

#3  Presumably space colonies won't be using illiterate third-worlders as cooks, cleaning, and maintenance staff.

I imagine should they ever be built the same will be true of large space colonies, arcologies and mega-hotels.
