A friend of mine just came back from a cruise bahamas/cozumel (unaffected) and now has to quarantine for two weeks. She is not allowed to go home (senior in the home) or work. She did not plan for that or expect it. She will be holed up in a hotel room with another passenger, now. She was aware of the crisis on other ship before she boarded, though, so.....
