00:00First of all, a bit of reassurance is that this virus is not easily transmitted from human to human.
00:06It's very rare to have this transmission.
00:08So, so far, it could have been potentially an investigation to see where they actually got the virus.
00:16And the two scenarios were either in an event that they attended in Argentina back when the ship was there
00:22or on some poor health measurement on the ship itself.
00:30In both cases, I think it's, again, back to the responsibility of the ship owner or the ship company
00:36and the security and health measures that they take in any of their events.
00:41And going to your question, the responsibility that they carry for the health and well-being of any of their
00:48passengers.
00:50Since they are definitely on high sea most of the time, since they navigate across different jurisdictions of countries and
00:58so on,
00:59there has been such a gray area that ship companies have been exploiting and getting away with a lot of
01:07things.
01:08Health issues, yes, but also illegal activities, also crimes in certain situations
01:13that were very difficult to take to courts and to deal with properly
01:19because of this, you know, nexus of different jurisdictions and different realities and different legal systems.
01:28So the situation, since these are becoming more popular, we need to relook at the laws that govern their work
01:37and we need to tighten a little bit the screw around these gray areas that lets people get away with
01:45some things
01:45and especially the responsibility when people get hurt in any way on their cruises to actually be accountable for the
01:55people
01:56and to actually give the people the best care they need to.
