I’m no cruise ship fan, but to be fair they don’t exactly release news stories when things go right

I mean you gave a ship full of thousands of people from various places travelling to dozens of exotic locations. Shit is bound to happen

Is shifting the blame for the outbreak on a bird watching tour of an Argentinan rubbish dump, the get out clause for culpability on the cruise liner?

Where do you get that from, if I may ask? The article says nothing about bird watching tours or shifting blame. What kind of blame would you assign to the cuise liner anyway? Cruises are known for a higher risk of infection because of how cramped it is and the high frequency of contact between the passengers. From what I gather this whole contact tracing operation seems to be pretty thorough and calm.
