Not getting on a cruise ship from Florida since they are not mandating vaccines!!! Don’t they remember Cruise ships not being let into ports, toilets backing up and everyone getting Covid. Don’t know why Florida’s governor would go to court to keep them from requiring vaccines. What’s going on?
Gov. Ron Desantis is an idiot, that's what's going on! I hope all this changes before next March 28th when my cruise is set to sail. Hopefully anyone who is not vaccinated won't be so stupid as to get on a cruise ship! But I'm not counting on that. If they don't mandate that everyone has to have had both shots 2 weeks prior to sailing, (or one J&J shot) then all hell is going to break loose with many people demanding refunds and the cruise business will go right down the crapper!
I agree with you 100% on this Nancy! De Santis and the governor of Texas too, they just opened everything up while Covid was still a problem. On Royal Caribbean, they have some kind of statement saying that those on board may miss port stops if Covid is detected on the ship. All I can think of are those cruise ships at the beginning of Covid, full of people with Covid, sitting off shore and not allowed to Deboard. The toilets were all backing up in people’s rooms. That was before they realized that the virus could spread through the ships via the sewer system. What a way to end the Cruise ships! I called RC about it to complain. Asked them about ports not out of Texas or Florida. They are playing a wait and see game. Being a nurse, I’m sure you can see how this will go! We already saw it at the beginning of Covid! The people not getting the vaccine are causing the problems in the US.
99.2% of people getting Covid and going to hospitals are unvaccinated people!!! It’s too crazy isn’t it?

Tell me about it! And most of them have the Delta variant which is highly transmissible and you get sicker, hospitalized and maybe die (if unvaccinated I mean)
I just heard RC/Celebrity may be able to require that any unvaccinated passenger has to show proof of insurance that covers if they get Covid - medical care, evacuation, etc. I think that on my Beatles/'60s cruise 99% will be vaccinated. The age of the people averages about 60 or older and NO KIDS under 18 allowed. Some people who can't get vaccinated due to one reason or another have stated on our FB page for the cruise that they are not going. Good!! Anybody would have to be nuts to get on a cruise unless they were fully vaccinated + 2 weeks!

A) Ron DeSantis (aka Ron DeathSantis) is an idiot. Or just a deeply cynical politician appealing to a loony constituency.
B) If you haven't already, get vaccinated!!!
People here in San Francisco are still being really cautious. Even though vaccinated folks no longer have to wear masks in most situations, the overwhelming majority still are, and many businesses are requiring it -- on the perfectly reasonable hypothesis that mild inconvenience is better than death.

Great post! "Ron DeathSantis" - I love it! He is both!
Leslie and I are going to FabFest in Charlotte next week and we will be masking up.

All it takes is one person. I want to take a cruise so badly yet I can’t stand the thought of having it ruined by an un-vaccinated person. I would go out of San Francisco to somewhere. They have herd immunity in San Francisco now.
Ron DeathSantis LOL The Governor of Texas is just as bad. Sadly unvaccinated people are taking such a chance. Can’t they ask their doctors for advice?

PLEASE GET VACCINATED! The life you save may be your own.

My son-in-law doesn't have a doctor and I doubt he's ever been to one in his adult life and he's 36! I just FB messaged him a couple things. Of course he never replied. My daughter has tried to talk to him, to no avail. I guess he'd rather take a chance of getting very ill, giving it to his 10 month old baby girl, and maybe even dying or killing her! One of my friends who was also an R.N. with me in the O.R. calls anti-Covid vaxxers vax-holes! I wonder, if you already had Covid in Dec. 2020 but were asymptomatic, could you get the Delta variant? I ask because I think I got Covid from him last Dec.

Second dose of the AstraZeneca / Oxford vaccine was done today. Please stay safe, folks! Vaccinate as soon as possible and protect yourself
-
Update on my son-in-law: he did finally get the J&J one shot later in July due to pressure from where he works. He had been working from home and then they wanted them to come back to the office in mid-July.
I'm going to get a Pfizer booster in early Dec. (8 months from 2nd shot)

Had a scare with my son's girlfriend - she had shortness of breath, sore throat and head/face pain. (she is not healthy to begin with - long story) Covid test was Negative.

I hope your son's girlfriend gets well soon and thank goodness it was not covid!

I'm flying next week for the first time in a year and a half and I will admit I'm a little nervous, but I'm also looking forward to seeing family I haven't seen since March 2020!

Just either wear an N-95 mask or wear a medical-type mask underneath a cloth mask. Even vaccinated and/or asymptomatic people can spread the Delta variant which is pretty much the prevalent virus now. So really we should all be masking even around family and vaccinated people.
The N-95 masks I ordered from Amazon arrived yesterday. Just in time for Abbey Road On the River in a week!

yes, I already double mask when I'm on the train going into the office, so I was planning on doing the same thing on the plane.

I recently got a box of N95 masks for when I can't avoid being in crowded indoor spaces, even though I'm vaccinated. I prefer not to die and don't plan on trying the horse dewormer that the MAGA crowd is so excited about (and jamming the lines of poison control centers because of, but I digress).

Do you believe those morons?! I loved the tweet from the FDA (or some government agency) that said "You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Don't take it!"
