nini Posted May 12, 2021 #1828 Share Posted May 12, 2021 So, another horde of cruises were just cancelled. I really thought that it would be ok to cruise this Fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoriPhil Posted May 12, 2021 #1830 Share Posted May 12, 2021 More cancellations? Drat! I am watching how the NCL vs DeSantis battle goes. I’d think the cruise lines entering international waters could require vaccinations for the protection of passengers, crew and population of islands they will be visiting. It will be interesting to see how that is resolved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nini Posted May 13, 2021 #1831 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I came across a breath of fresh air! CDC came out with a statement today. Here is just part of the article: No yelling at me. I am not the CDC. 😬 WASHINGTON — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Thursday that people who are fully vaccinated no longer have to wear masks in many indoor situations. The new guidance reflects evidence that vaccines are highly effective in preventing serious and critical cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. “Anyone who is fully vaccinated can participate in indoor and outdoor activities large or small without wearing a mask or physical distancing,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said. She looked relieved as she made the announcement, in a break from the mostly somber comportment of public health officials since the pandemic began. A new notice on the agency’s website explains that masks should still be worn on “planes, buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation,” as well as in “correctional facilities and homeless shelters.” Walensky cited the “scientific data on the performance of our vaccines and our understanding of how the virus spreads” as reasons for lifting the mask guidance. Not only do the vaccines prevent people from falling ill with COVID-19, they also prevent people from spreading the virus to others who might then be sickened. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One could also wear an "M2' pin or a 'J2', etc. If they were on a red background, they could be called red badges of courage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for those who refuse to get the vaccine, we could have a badge with a picture of a small chicken on a yellow background. Put the letters C and L on it and you have Chicken Little.

LoriPhil Posted May 14, 2021 #1839 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Perhaps cruises out of Seattle, San Francisco and Whittier? What a marvelous step forward, and so refreshing to see government actually working together. Go Alaska! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
