Although I do find some of the comments crossing the political lines. You can almost tell from some of the comments who supports and opposes Trump. COVID shouldn't have any effect on cruising. But it also shouldn't have an effect on closing nail salons yet here we are... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmacs Posted June 24, 2020 #157 Share Posted June 24, 2020 We have reluctantly cancelled our early October cruise on Silhouette. Spanish ports closed indefinitely and as an asthmatic don't want to be a guinea pig for cruises coming back - if they do. Took the decision now before final payment.

Found out the information was published four days ago. A new study from China showed that antibodies faded quickly in both asymptomatic and symptomatic COVID-19 patients during convalescence, raising questions about whether the illness leads to any lasting immunity to the virus afterward. The study, which focused on 37 asymptomatic and 37 symptomatic patients, showed that more than 90% of both groups showed steep declines in levels of SARS-COV-2–specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies within 2 to 3 months after onset of infection, according to a report published yesterday in Nature Medicine. Further, 40% of the asymptomatic group tested negative for IgG antibodies 8 weeks after they were released from isolation. The authors said the findings suggest that it could be risky to assume that recovered patients are immune to reinfection, which may have implications for how long to maintain physical distancing restrictions. C-Dragons, thanks for the reference! I will take a look. If we lose antibodies after a few weeks to months that might not be a critical blow. As long as we ramp up again quickly once exposed again. This is pretty much the standard humeral immune response. This is a reason that we occasionally need booster vaccines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason to read any of our posts that are more virus and medical related. Your choice. But as I am one of the medically oriented posters I will give you my reasons for posting. I find it refreshing to have these discussions here with some medical and scientific people with good insight who are also passionate about cruising. That is a valuable combination to me anyway for right now. Where else would we go to discuss the medical aspects of COVID-19 and how it specifically relates to the re-start of cruising, the requirements of cruising going forward, the medically driven new operational procedures, the difficulties of vaccines, etc. etc. All highly relevant to a lot of us right now. There is really no other place to have these cruising + medical discussions. You are new to CC and you can always block any of us to your view if you so wish. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare OceanCruise Posted June 24, 2020 #164 Share Posted June 24, 2020 This is an excellent (totally non- political) and easy to understand 28 minute video of two doctors (ER doc and cardiologist) discussing their experiences regarding Covid. They discuss specific flaws in the methodology of the major studies presently being used in determining Covid treatment. Worth watching and can possibly save lives. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaxKIivS79g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
