But whatever, as long as you’re happy I don’t really care. I got out a long time ago, had enough hurricanes and wildfires and crime and traffic. In person teaching is working because everyone is following the protocols but the undergrad campus had to lock down after winter break because some students seemed to have let down their guard when they returned.

smokeybandit Posted March 27, 2021 #134 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Some states locked down hard. Other states really didn't do much of anything. Yet, the states that locked down hard fared no better with covid than the states that didn't do anything. But the states that didn't do anything didn't have nearly the negative economic impact. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldilocks Posted March 27, 2021 #135 Share Posted March 27, 2021 The BIG COVID number is hospitalizations. That number has seemed to dropped over the last couple of months in the USA. It is true that a few hot spots may occur. The local authorities will have to address those situations. Overall, hospitalizations and deaths are down. More vaccine is now available. By the end of May there will be enough vaccine supplies to jab every adult in the USA. The only problem will be the hold outs that will not take the vaccine. I don't want to lectured about mask wearing and distancing when these problematic folks are running around wanting everyone to wear a mask and stay home. Get vaccinated or stay home you boob. I am not bowing to your irresponsible actions. As far as the CDC, they do not seem to care about the vaccinated folks. They will continue this attitude...guarding the unvaccinated even if they will not take the vaccine...until the cows come home. We won't cruise until there is positive proof that EVERYONE is vaccinated...which is never in their view. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted March 27, 2021 #136 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Even the hospitalization number you have to be careful with since that includes people who came to the hospital for some other reason (say, gall bladder surgery) and test positive during routine blood testing. Also this includes people who go to the ER for a covid test, even if they test negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It galls the Federal Government that the three largest cruise companies have their headquarters in the US but are able to avoid many US rules, regulations and taxes. With the vaccines rollout, it is pretty obvious that the vaccines along with the protocols that have been working in Singapore and Europe should be sufficient to begin sailing. Instead nothing from the CDC. So therefore, we have to look for, another motive from the CDC, other than the health of the cruisers, for their stonewalling. I worked for the USG for 30 years, mostly for the Army and Navy. Civilian Agencies have reputations for incredible bureaucracy. Not saying they are bad, but government tends to foster bureaucrats protecting their power. I doubt if there is an effort to force put them financially on their knees so they flag their ships in the USA. People working for the government get paid no matter how bad the economy becomes. Many bureaucrats have never run a business. Celebrity and Royal opening up cruising out of foreign ports may be the immediate future, unless some one in government, opens up cruising out of US ports. It is still probably too early now, but by early June the USA will likely have another 150 doses administered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise a holic Posted March 28, 2021 #146 Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) We cancelled our cruise from the USA to the Bahamas and Florida in August. The CDC will probably cancel all cruises anyway from the USA. Weird that Royal is still selling on their website when I have read no sail order until November 2021. Hopefully, enough people will be vaccinated by our planned January cruises. But people are so weird as many aren't even respecting wear a mask and keep socially distant- we have to all be responsible people and respect science.
