Cruising next week, wife currently testing positive for Covid

Phil and Christine,

 

So much advice...much of it is outdated.

 

After my last two Transatlantics (2023 and 2024), I tested positive for COVID-19. I only found out because I read that some of our fellow passengers had COVID-19 and, therefore, tested. I essentially had NO symptoms: no fever, sniffles, cough, headache, or fatigue. I still isolated myself for several days out of courtesy to all whom I might have encountered. Those were my only COVID experiences.

 

Obviously, a lot of people who were onboard knew they had COVID or they had symptoms. So many people in the theaters who are hacking say, "Oh, I have allergies."  My logic and experience tell me differently. 

 

Christine, I bet by the time you read this, you are feeling quite well. Don't cancel the trip unless you feel really ill. BTW, this virus is airborne in so many cases. While we should keep our hands clean, I doubt doing so keeps you away from COVID-19.
