Could be a different flu season with social distancing and masks plus I am guessing more people will get the vaccine. Only guessing. I know flu vaccine doesn't cover all strains.  Speaking as a school nurse, schools do not close for the flu unless there is an overwhelming portion of the school affected. We rely on parents to keep their kids home if sick and staff as well. Doesn't always happen but we try.

I’m thinking more along the lines that flu combined with Covid still around could very well present a whole new series of problems/issues.

 

Is it the flu, is it Covid ???

You nailed it. Its going to be a stressful year at least on my end. Luckily at least in my section of the US, there is a plan in place that will work in my school.  Regarding other situations, best way to be sure is to get tested for both.  Continue to wear a mask outside when in public. Practice social distancing.

Happy Labor Day everyone.  I’ve been in the middle of nowhere for a few days with no access to phone or Wi-Fi and I’m just wondering if there has been any more news on cruising - like have they extended the no sail date past Nov 1st yet?  
 

Thanks!

Only thing I saw was the protocols probably wouldnt be released until the end of September or later. After the boards that people volunteered to be on finished their comments and cruiselines had time to digest the suggestions.

So far, so good. No changes at this time.

This article someone posted yesterday seems promising.

Costa Maya. It's on some of the 5-day cruises instead of Progreso.

Apparently one ship now has at least 2 rounds of crew that are back on board. Saw this on social media... crew back on board is a good sign for restart, right?

maybe they are switching crew..........  No the CDC has not approved anything............  Public comments ends on Sept 21st........   Do your math, the CDC members have to read through the comments, get feedback and etc before allowing cruises  to resume........

Nine days is enough to read through survey data. It’ll actually be artificial using keywords but whatever. CDC hasn’t extended anything.

[MeganGC1983]

Looking at the comments from other crew members... another round of crew joins ships on Sept. 24, and then another Oct. 3.

Also, this particular ship pictured is the Glory.

Exactly! They didn’t extend the 2 week quarantine for travel either. They just let it quietly expire.

378 covid in deaths so far today in Florida and not all counties have reported.

Goodbye November  cruising.

Reporting is usually summarized at around 11am every morning.  Today's reporting was 219 newly reported deaths (reported in the last 24 hrs, deaths may have occurred days or weeks ago), according to my usual sources.  Where you seeing 378 for today?

 

Not being picky, I just want to expand my data sources if there are alternatives out there.

219 = resident deaths

378 = resident plus non resident
