The number of new daily infections has reached record highs in some countries. Targeted lockdowns and restrictions are returning across the continent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference will be when lockdowns and restrictions return in Europe they'll likely be accepted. It will be interesting to see if European cruising continues with cases in Europe growing. If it doesn't you know the CDC will jump all over that fact. For our own sake I hope European cruising doesn't get shutdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to have managed in their bubble. 7 tested positive in first rest day but none of the riders and direct team/staff members. Nobody tested positive the second rest day.

Hospitalizations and ICU beds are down. Positive test rates are nearing 4%. No big surge after latest holiday beach time. I would say we managed pretty well while opening. Let’s see how NYC does when they remove the boards from their stores (the ones that will open) and open the city again. And I will say again. Miami has not defunded the Police. Much safer that NYC. Don’t you think once the Port is open in NJ the “peaceful” protesters will find their way there? M8 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare livingonthebeach Posted September 17, 2020 #85 Share Posted September 17, 2020 This bill, while a push in the right direction, if it does get enacted and doesn't die in the Committee or on the floor, will take quite some time before it's passed and by that time, the task force might not be necessary. This could be more about reassuring the public and creating public confidence than anything else, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you have tried the "Everything" bagel which reeks of garlic and spices. Just don't try to kiss anyone later! Brooklyn Bagel is a chain now. We even have one here in Astoria. Please don't get me started on hot dogs or pizza. As a matter of fact, yesterday we had shrimp and chicken parmesan heroes for dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the recent increase over the prior daily average in my state is traced to the college students, most of whom arrived from out of state last month. I have not noticed bad habits yet.

Also, there already is a private sector advisory committee working on this. We don't need Congress to establish another one. In theory the federal government cannot extend the no sail order indefinitely. At some point either they will have to drop it or come up with something. Most likely CDC will reach an agreement with the industry on a response plan in the next few months and provisionally allow them to resume operations under that plan.

You basically said NYC is a tourist town. I said we are not going back to NYC (as a tourist) They need clean it up and return funding to the Police. Again, you injected Miami.
