The rest of us want to live our lives and enjoy cruising with RC. What I am scared of is spending money and making all the arrangements at home to be gone only to have a less then enjoyable time. Especially when there are alternatives available. We have been living our lives and haven't had to deal with any protocols for over a year now and I sure don't want to on a vacation. Enjoy your cruise. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rudeney Posted May 9, 2022 #177 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I was at a trade show last week. It was like pre-COVID times with no masking, no social distancing and lots of hugging and hand-shaking. I just received an email stating there there had been at least one instance of an attendee testing positive so now we need to follow appropriate CDC guidelines. At these conferences, I talk a lot and go out to eat with customers and prospects in noisy restaurants and bars. I stay up late and enjoy many beverages. I end up losing my voice. I have chronic sinus issues, plus this time of year with all the pollen, I cough and sneeze. It's also not unusual for me to pickup a bit of a cold or "something" when I travel. Maybe it's being around a bunch of other people or exposure to different pollen, but it almost always happens. I am not running to get tested because it's no different than any conference I went to prior to COVID. I've had COVID and the vaccines and a booster. I am not the least bit concerned. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my husband was quarantined due to influenza in February 2020, he was given broth, jello and tea. He did not even have a choice. He felt like crap, so it didn't really matter. We were more concerned with the outstanding medical care he was given and the doctors and nurses were wonderful. Being able to order Escargot and Beef Wellington were of no concern to him 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've flown back and forth from the East Coast to Los Angeles 4 times in the past year. I think it's true when they say it's fairly safe on airplanes due to the air filtration system. Plus, I wear a mask on the flight even when it's not mandated. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at a trade show last week as well. I was 1 of 5 out of maybe 1,500 wearing a mask. I took a PCR on day 7 after the conference, not because I have any symptoms, but because if I did catch anything, I don’t want to spread it to the elderly, immunocompromised, or any kids who aren’t eligible to be vaccinated yet. It’s not hard to care about others you are around. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both my wife and I work from home. We might get out once or twice a week for shopping or eating out, but none of that is CDC-defined "close-contact" with anyone. I treat COVID like a cold - if I had a symptomatic cold, I would stay away from people so they don't get it, but if I happened to be around someone with a cold, and I'm asymptomatic, I'm not going to quarantine just because I "might" have a cold and "might" give it to someone else. BTW, I did do an at-home test and hour ago and it was negative, as I suspected. Edited May 9, 2022 by rudeney 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for caring about others, I do, and that's why I stay home when I'm symptomatic with any sort of illness. And I hope that others care about themselves enough to not go into situations that make them uncomfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some have no choice about going to some job related conferences, my niece is autoimmune and she was one of the key speakers , this was first time she had dinner in restaurants since Covid started . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I don't so we will stick with driving vacations until all these protocols are gone. Protocols might be gone, but there will always be the possibility of being quarantined for something like Covid or Norovirus...

Rare rudeney Posted May 10, 2022 #191 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Seems like his last post was that he chose to quarantine with his wife. But he had spent a few days enjoying the ship without her, while she had to drink tea from a soup container. My guess is that once they locked him in the room with her, she killed him and dumped his body at sea. I am sure that's what my wife would have done to me. 😜 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Carnac says "your guess is as good as mine" Just when you think the protocols will go away, here comes masks, more testing, more quarantining. There could be the next millionth variant and the 20th booster needed by then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
