CDC guidelines coming soon?

[smokeybandit]

My guess is that the CDC will merely say that vaccinated people can safely travel as long as they still wear 2 masks and a face shield.

Would this new guidance be from the same CDC director that was predicting "impending doom" from Covid earlier in the week?  Maybe the new guidelines will be even more restrictive?

And yet, the same CDC director was touting a just released CDC study that indicates that fully vaccinated people aren't likely to get re-infected or transmit covid to anyone else. Maybe the door is open a crack for vaccinated-only cruises to begin.

My question is, how much longer can these cruise lines stay afloat with no cruising?  It seems they are purposely trying to kill the industry.

Not holding my breath. In the past 2 weeks the 7 day average case count has increase over 18%.

There are 39 Fridays left in 2021. I wonder which one they'll pick.

 

 I got a good chuckle off this line. Bravo.

Hmm..... CNBC just said that the CDC is expected to release new guidelines as early as today for travel. 

 

[sandebeach]

Yes, and this study was very encouraging.

Why then do vaccinated people still have to wear face masks?

That is why I was hoping CDC would release new guidelines Based on the Science!

Good question, @molly361!

After I've gotten my 2nd shot, off go the masks*. 🙂

 

*with some small exceptions, of course. 😉

Because the scientific method. 7th grade science class. 

 

You pose a question, make a hypothesis, experiment, collect data, draw conclusion from that data, then report on your findings. 

 

Telling people to remove masks then finding out that vaccinated people can spread and carry COVID would be a big oops. Not that certain states actually listen, but science does work.

But science has shown over and over that masks themselves don't work

Except that science is saying vaccinated people can't spread it, so.....

I felt that burn down here in Florida.

I'd love to know what science you are referring to here. 🙄

[DCGuy64]

Vaccinated people can travel at low risk, says the CDC.

Here's a summary of the various studies showing masks (and other NPIs) don't work or aren't recommended.

If for nothing else, to avoid the inevitable fistacuffs with some knuckle dragger who believes everyone should wear masks forever regardless of science.

All the sources are in that twitter chain, including CDC and WHO studies.

But I am really happy to see this!

Federal health officials gave the green light Friday for fully vaccinated people to resume travel as an estimated 100 million Americans have had at least one dose of coronavirus vaccine, and evidence mounts of the shots’ effectiveness.

[sandebeach]

I am trying to understand this statement. My question is, do I need a PCR test when returning to the US from our Nassau Adventure cruise in June?

The CDC’s new guidance says fully vaccinated people do not need Covid-19 tests before international travel unless it is required by the international destination and vaccinated people returning from foreign travel do not need to self-quarantine after returning to the United States, unless required by state or local authorities.

I see lots of talk about flying. I did not see anything referencing cruising. The section referring to cruises was last updated on 2/2/21
