People aren't practicing social distancing- and many aren't wearing face masks. Unfortunately, those of us who are doing our best to help minimize the spread are being penalized. So sad. As I posted above our 4 counties in Florida are doing very well. I don't really keep up with the other counties because they are not reported on our local news. Florida is a very large state and we are more likely to travel to Alabama than south Florida. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the Covid is surely on the increase in many states now. While perhaps in 4 counties of Florida, things appear to be doing well now, the virus is spreading. For the sake of your health- and the health of your friends and neighbors, practice social distancing, wear a face covering and wash your hands frequently. Let's all remain safe so we can sail again.

I guess for the most part we are doing all the things you suggest and are staying safe. Went out to eat last night. The restaurant was busy but every one was socially distant. If you remember back to the beginning the charts showed that roughly the same number of people would contract the virus at some point. The goal was to slow things down so we could get medicines and hospitals ready. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmn531 Posted October 22, 2020 #329 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Yeah, here in the northern part of Metro Atlanta, everything is as normal as can be minus masks and distancing. Watching all of the numbers for my local counties and the state, it seems the infection rate is leveling off. It had been coming down for weeks but has been static around 6% for a while. But the good thing is the # of deaths is continuing to trend down. Hoping we can get to the next phase soon. This guys needs a cruise!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And deaths continue to trend down. That is the most important. Many kids at both of my kids schools have tested positive. Not a single one with symptoms. We are never going to have 0 active nor 0 deaths. Sooner or later we need to get back out there.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BirdTravels Posted November 10, 2020 #334 Share Posted November 10, 2020 COVID is up and spiking. Positivity rates are up. Mask compliance and plain 'ole common sense is down. It will be a long, cold winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is certainly a key issue. For this masking and all things covid-related to have been used as a political tool here in the US is beyond deplorable. Would have never expected that.

There are those who understand and comply, those who understand but don't wish to comply, and those who don't understand / don't believe in it and so do not comply. There are probably some nebulous subsets within all of those. Then there are the Borg.... Edited November 13, 2020 by OnTheJourney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were Orange, and got bumped back to Purple. Along with 40 other counties. Things are closed again and there is a 10 PM - 5AM curfew, statewide. 😒 Edited November 21, 2020 by Coralc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise a holic Posted November 21, 2020 #341 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Daily, we look up covid stats, by county by town. Typically, we have seen one to two cases every week, now we are seeing a few a day! We are very careful, rarely go out except for walks, and go shopping early in the morning- but mostly order on line. This thanksgiving, I am cooking a big Turkey with the trimmings, and will give to kids by leaving the food on our porch for them to pick up. I will set the table for my DH and I. Surely not the same, but I will still cook the big turkey with all of the trimmings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keksie Posted November 21, 2020 #344 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Everything is open here and I am super busy. My son will come for Thanksgiving and I am fixing turkey and all the trimmings. Then to get ready for Christmas. I think our new town will have a parade on the 5th so I can't wait to see that. It will be a challenge to decorate since this is a new home and I am not sure where everything will go yet. Some of the outdoor decor may have to wait until next year when we have more figured out. I have a large ball that needs a heavy duty hanger and electricity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gcelkk Posted November 22, 2020 #346 Share Posted November 22, 2020 We had a great turkey dinner last year on Explorer. Thought about getting a turkey for this year, but, we really like chicken better. So rotisserie chicken from Publix this year and a great turkey dinner on Harmony next year. Wishing all have a blessed holiday season. God is good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope not a super spreader parade- While we are all suffering from cabin fever, please everyone stay safe- our family will do a remote thanksgiving this year- but I will prepare a traditional diner for the two of us.

I hope not too but it is a long route, outside and people can spread out. Other than March and April we have been out and about so no cabin fever here.
