Thanks, I frankly have no idea how ships are sanitized between voyages, but I do believe in most cases they're turned over in a matter of hours, so I don't believe it's a very thorough cleaning. In the case of aircraft, the turn around is often under an hour. My point is that little to nothing is done that knocks out germ counts beyond perhaps a vacuum, wipe down, clean linens and towels, and perhaps a spray of deodorizer.

I don't know how much more could be done in the time they turn around either a ship or plane, but I suspect that anyone who had a way of dramatically improving the sanitizing of either without requiring substantially more time would make a fortune.

Our current device could do the job, but not in the allotted time. If something could be circulated through the HVAC and was harmless to workers it could be effective, but it's a major task and would no doubt require extensive modifications to either ship or plane.

I have a few friends who had been planning a cruise in May, I was considering joining, now all have cancelled. I've got to believe the cruise lines everywhere are facing all sorts of cancellations, and we know travel by plane is down dramatically. Until both can assure travelers of greater safety, people won't put their lives at risk to vacation. I don't believe in total isolation, but avoiding large crowds isn't a bad way to go, especially right now.
