>>> " According to rumor, there were some cases of H1N1 on board the ship"
----- Was there for 2 weeks and it wasn't a rumor. 3 crew members got the flu while the ship was at sea. >>> "allowed to leave the ship at all." ----- Yes, the entire crew were kept on board a whole week until it sailed. Passengers were bused to their charter plane direct from the ship after been reviewed by the Aruban Health people. >>> "I doubt that another ship will be allowed in." ------ The ship sailed with new passengers after a week in Aruba.

The entire situation was tightly regulated. They kept tourists and residents well informed so there were no rumors.

>>> "the Aruban govenment and health officials"
---- Ditto, all did well. While down there a WHO doctor on TV stated people my age(born in the 1950's and before) might have a built up resistance to this type as it was around back then. |

<<wish we could get the grin off the face>>Interesting to note... Just watched a documentary recently, where they are researching people's DNA, for the possibility of resistance to pandemics going back to the days of the "Black Death"/plague. The Plague continued for many years, but successive generations saw fewer deaths. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Death
