s/Norwegian/Cruise line "Norwegian"/ ?
I guess it was owned by Norwegians at one point.
This is about Norwegian Cruise Line, and not the airline Norwegian.
Alternative confusion: I assumed it was a weirdly worded title about the country... but then I wondered why they had a 'Sales Team'.
This recent coronavirus outbreak has been very enlightening, cause it gaves us more information on why cruises are a bad idea, and perfect for an epidemic. The same air is recirculating among all cabins. However, it does not explain why we haven't heard of flu outbreaks in cruises before this coronavirus. It seems cruises are perfect for the proliferation of any airborne virus.
As a Norwegian I want to point out that there are no Norwegian owners of Norwegian Cruise Lines. It is to my knowledge fully American owned. It was Norwegian long time ago. Sorry just don’t want to get us associated with such extremely unethical behavior. Frankly it ought to be punishable in the justice system.
Sadly you are probably correct. The Nordics are the perfect cousins the rest of us Europeans keep being unfavourably compared to. We have to keep digging!
Finland, on the other hand.. much respect :)

As I understand it, the message from CDC etc is, roughly: It's transmitted through droplets coughed or sneezed from one person that then end up through common touching of not-cleaned surfaces and thence into the body through face-touching.
My gut feel is that if that's how transmission occurs, we shouldn't see infection spread between large numbers of people who were simply present in the same room as each other for a few days.
Which makes me wonder if all the hand washing is just "Epidemiology Theater".

Depending on the target market and customer's place in the sales funnel, a country's sales team is called "ministry of culture", "ministry of foreign affairs" or "army".
Also any front facing sort of government services type folks who provide direction / help in some ways are sales... ish.
