So it's not as if I can stop your incubation period, your quarantine period with a negative test.

We've got to get you to the very, very end of that.

So people will feel like they're cooped up almost in a sort of gilded cage.

And that's something we'll have to manage as well.

I think everybody will want to talk to them about their lessons learned, for sure.

But from my reading of it and watching them, I mean, I advise a lot of these explorer class vessels now rather than the very large ships.

The very large ships have whole medical systems inside them, whereas these smaller explorer classes that are often 20, 30, 40 days at sea, they are a special and challenging environment.

So we'll definitely be looking to talk to them about this when we

Run a lot of cruises in the northern Kimberley and these other remote areas of Australia, for example, or in Papua New Guinea.

And obviously, there are some weird and wonderful diseases in those areas.

When we get these outbreaks, learning from each other is really part of this.

Norovirus is much more common.

Gastroenteritis, running through a ship.

Those are things that people have dealt with a long time.

But these kind of ones, this is tough.

And now the question will be, do we carry extra bales of PPE, of masks and gloves on every single ship?

You know, how far do you go?

Absolutely.

As long as we know who were contacts of these poor patients, we have control of this.

This is the key thing.
