Measles on a cruise ship

Good for you! Now you don't have to worry about others!

I decided to get blood work from my doctor to test for the measles antibodies. Turned out I didn't have them so went to Walgreens and got vaccinated before my trip

That's disease thing is on my mind...norovirus is one thing..and not to minimize it, but.catching a really serious illness from one of your 4-5 thousand newest friends is another...there is no process in place that can prevent it.

Glitches happen. Machines are wonderful, but from my point of view, I don't always know how to have them do what I want them to do.

As far as the article, I have been reading that only 28 have remained in quarantine for a few days, but I wanted to post the most recent article I could find on the matter; hence, the one written today.

Well...glitched again...says I replied but there isn't one...anyway, the article says it was reported/written on the 12th, which is today, and the remaining 28 can leave tomorrow, the 13th. … why am I not sympathetic? nevermind...Im just glad all this didn't happen on somebodys megaship with 4-5-6 THOUSAND passengers, stuck in somebody's harbor for several weeks. The thought occurs, if they were stuck in a major metropolitan city, and debarked, you become instantly anonymous...not so much in some small port somewhere...they'd KNOW you got off the "plague ship"....

OOPS...took awhile for the first one to show up...the internet is just grand...when it works properly that is...

Thanks for that...so the story was written on 5/12, which is today, and the remaining 28 can leave tomorrow, 5/13....we should all be glad there hasn't been a report of this on a mega ship, involving thousands of passengers...I don't think having a "plague ship" in a big metropolitan harbor would be fun.

Update: 28 still in quarantine on the cruise ship.

Information is just a quick search away...as long as you know how to cross-check references, and obtain information from multiple sources

GOOGLE is great...you can instantly look up "facts" about anything...or what passes for facts...anywho, the COS apparently has no "official" stance on whether or not its practitioners can be vaccinated...lets you kind of jump to your own conclusions. so jump on....

Sounds like it is the MV Freewinds, Owned and operated by the Church of Scientology.
