But I can imagine the possibility of more than 1 variant being present on a ship at the same time. Surely they could mix and mutate into something new?

Would such a mingling create a new variant which could then be spread around the ship and the USA? There might be a lot of shacking up on a cruise ship, but that's not how it works for viruses. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. They just found a variant and gave it a very inaccurate name. But again that's not how viruses reproduce.

Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted May 9, 2021 #94 Share Posted May 9, 2021 An un-vaccinated 17 year old who works in the public and goes to in-person high school poses a far higher risk to others than an in-vaccinated 40 year old who works from home and has groceries delivered.

That there alone is one of the reasons why this virus spreads and the 17 year old has no idea he is spreading the virus if he is infectious without symptoms. My deduction is the 17 year old is more of a risk to the community for spread of this virus than the 40 year old. Just my opinion, of course.

That’s way too specific of a situation to be relevant. Cruise lines aren’t going to go through peoples day to day lives to decide who can sail. I’m not saying that the 5% will go towards children sailing but I think it’s a ton more likely then it being for adults who either choose not to get vaccinated or can’t for medical reasons. It makes far more sense from both a financial and liability standpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes far more sense from both a financial and liability standpoint. Is there a legitimate medical reason that someone can’t take one of the vaccines? I I understand someone my be allergic to one, but since the mRNA and J&J are different technologies, hard to believe someone could be allergic to both.
