Off the coast of France, a cruise ship carrying more than 1,700 souls has become an unwilling vessel for one of humanity's most tenacious pathogens. One passenger has died, and authorities have sealed the ship in port while they investigate a suspected norovirus outbreak — a reminder that the architecture of leisure can, in an instant, become the architecture of confinement. The event asks an old question anew: how do we protect the many when the few are already sick, and the walls we share become the very mechanism of our vulnerability?
