That's a great point. If the masks actually work, then testing positive should just mean you have to wear the mask if in public and you can't eat or drink in public. Why be stuck in a room...if the masks work!!!

On a cruise ship, it's always been about protecting yourself...wash your hands, don't touch your face, ride the elevator only when it's too many flights of steps to walk up or down, etc...the list goes on. And I'm glad you realize for others it's their choice. Truth is, at my wife's clinic, the big issue now is people getting other respiratory viruses (especially kids) from wearing masks for 2 years and destroying their immune systems. Cruise ships have always had a higher risk for catching "stuff" than any other form of travel. It won;t ever change...do what makes you feel better/safe!

I've seen no articles stating that. I know our numbers in SC show that it's pretty weak now (almost zero hospitalizations or deaths), so hopefully even with some spread the protocols on ships remain the same.
