Maybe this will help.  I seriously doubt they have the monoclonal antibodies.

And it's worth noting that the medical staff is quite limited:  1 doctor and 2 nurses.  There's only so much they can do, no matter what care they may want to offer, they are limited in the things they can do for #_________ of patients.

Thank you for posting that link about medical staff and facilities on board.  I had no idea there was that much of an upgrade! That makes me feel better 🙂

Misinformation much? This is pretty inconsistent with anything else I've read. Can you discuss your source? Or was that all made up?

See post #52 for correct information.  Royal is prepared.

A passenger who disembarked the Symphony of the Seas yesterday said, after speaking with the medical staff, there was 1 doctor and 2 nurses onboard his particular sailing (link).

The Miami Herald reported 48 cases of CV-19 recently on the Symphony.  They quoted some passengers who said the following:

 

"James Johnson and Connor O’Dell, an engaged couple who live in Orlando, were on Symphony of the Seas with a group of 12 family members. All members of their party were fully vaccinated. Johnson’s aunt started feeling very ill with a sore throat and an ear ache and later developed a strong cough. After testing positive for COVID-19, Johnson said she only received an oxygen and temperature check and were told that medical staff was too overwhelmed to monitor her more closely.

Reading the article the one family seems to lining themselves up for a pay-off. Either that, or they are especially naive.  Just my thoughts.

I stand corrected,

That’s generally the treatment at many places.  Most folks aren’t getting someone holding their hand 24x7.

I have now seen posts from multiple passengers aboard who stated the same thing. I understand there was supposed to be more staff and things happen. But it is clear from what I’ve read on this particular sailing, there were stretched thin.

Yes, that's true. Hospitals here are not taking Covid patients unless they're severely ill.
