Title. Apparently there is a cruise ship quarantined right now because of this. And a guy at work was telling me some of the staff escaped? Not sure what exactly is going on but is it cause for concern?

There are virus highly contagious with also high mortality. In this case death could happen after two months, enough time to spread if it had higher R0. What saves us here is that human to human spread is not that easy. If it were as contagious as covid we would have a problem.
It’s a relationship between how quickly it kills you and how quickly it spread.
For instance VIH had almost 100% death rate (before current treatments) but it’s pandemic because it takes years to kill you.
