THIS IS WHAT THE CRUISE LINES REPORT TO THE CDC AND WHAT THEY DO WITH IT.

Thanks for the information.

Interesting info. That crud is here to stay just like any other rhino-virus or flu strain. Take into account that the inoculations haven't changed from the initial issue, so newer variants are not restrained. We do see some benefit with a reduction is severity during infection. We were on Reflection sailing from Rome this month and the ship had a 1% rate. Ship was constantly being sanitized and the crew followed protocols - didn't matter. We knew someone on a B2B who caught it on the last day of the first cruise and ended up quarantining on the ship for the second cruise. Actually was a good deal for him and his wife (except being sick). He had very mild symptoms as did those others we knew of. The "zero case" mode of control will never work. Let's adapt and press on with life.

Whats missing here is data attempting to explain how virtually every ship anywhere has the thing onboard and seems like ALWAYS had it onboard. CREW is "supposed" to be 100% vaccinated, and we all know the hoops the lines can put joe schmo passenger through. Now I read that all things considered, the lines want to do away with the vaxx requirement. I better stop here and try to uncross me eyeballs...

Cool. Nice to see things in plain understandable language for a change. I like that they show trends and that for the most part things look to be reasonably under control. No worse than in the wild and probably better I might think.

Thank for sharing the breakdown of the CDC information. I found this very interesting!
