    • @paul7TM
      @paul7TM 7 месяцев назад

      Oh wow. A serious answer. The Titanic was built in sections. The steel plates held together with iron rivets not as strong. They did that to save money So basically the rivets popped on hitting the iceberg. But it was a long time ago. 🕊️

    Impressive. Though, I have to say, there was just this elegant mystique about a cruise liner like the Titanic that just cannot be associated with something like this. Perhaps it was the era or maybe the lore that gives it a feeling of authenticity, which in modern times is simply lost. Regardless, good luck to the new ship....Bon Voyage!

    • @andrewjones-productions
      @andrewjones-productions 7 месяцев назад +1

      I understand what you mean. In the days of the Titanic, the ocean liners were not so much for pleasure, but a mode of transport. That alone differentiates them from the majority of cruise liners today. In an oversimplified way, they were the transcontinental ferries of their time. Or, the intercontinental flights of today, which is probably the better comparison. I suppose the mystique came from a different passenger with a completely different purpose. It was also of course, a time when going abroad was a huge thing.

    And when COVID breaks out on that floating Petri dish, how many of those 9,950 people get infected?

    • @andrewjones-productions
      @andrewjones-productions 7 месяцев назад +1

      Oh come on....covid hasn't gone away, but it has mutated enough by now that it has become far weaker and that getting it is for the majority a mild sickness, if that. Epidemics on cruise liners or other long distance ships is nothing new, but if we continued to live in fear of what 'might happen' we would end up dying having not done anything. There is a time for cautionary behaviour and there is a time for carrying on and enjoying life. We are currently in the latter phase.

      Even if it's not COVID, outbreaks of horrible viruses do occur on these massive ships. Norovirus being one particularly nasty bug.

    • @jeff__w
      @jeff__w 7 месяцев назад

      @@nirnrooter I had norovirus once (not on a cruise ship). I was about to eat dinner with friends and it came on suddenly and I was laid out, feverish, in the space of, like, 10 minutes. It was awful. One of the friends caught it from me-unsurprisingly since it’s highly contagious-and collapsed on the streetcar about two days later. The only relatively good thing was that it lasted only about 24 hours for each of us.

      @@andrewjones-productions “ We are currently in the latter phase.” We’re not. Even if you’re vaccinated, the risk of developing long COVID, which can be debilitating for a lifetime (no one knows yet), is about 6-10%. *The more times you get infected with COVID-19 the more likely you are to go on to develop Long COVID* and disease severity does not necessarily correlate with your chances of getting Long COVID-so it doesn’t matter if your case is mild or not. _See_ Dr David Putrino on a recent WAMU _1A_ podcast “ “What’s new with COVID-19?” As epidemiologist Dr Ziyad Al-Aly said in recent testimony before a Senate subcommittee, “The best way to prevent long COVID is to prevent COVID in the first place.” Maybe it’s fine to abandon cautionary behavior and carry on and enjoy life-although people with Long COVID, by and large, _don’t_ enjoy their lives-if one has fairly assessed the risks but it’s _not_ OK to be unaware of the risks and blithely carry on.
