CAPECODLINDA Posted June 27, 2020 #29 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Hopefully cruise lines won't require the covid vaccine to cruise. NO WAY THE AVAILABILITY WILL BE THERE ONCE DISCOVERED! The availability of covid-19 testing kits is example- Millions of vaccine vials would be needed and politicians would decide who should get FIRST!! Like face masks/ventilators/ personal protection etc. Medical experts should be in charge of this pandemic not politicians!! I'm Ready to Cruise!!!

Outdoor = fine. Indoor = not yet fine. This seems to be what many localities are discovering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are opinions, but nothing substantial to prove that restaurants should not be open - especially the ones with outdoor seating. The problem are not the Restaurants as such. It's question if Social distancing is kept and the Hygine by the Restaurant workers. If these criterias are fully met the Restaurant as such is not a problem however since it requires a lot of restictions lot's of Restaurants could not operate profitable like this. Hence I don't know what the rules are and how they are enforced, but in all the countries where the rules are not followed, doesn't need to be Restaurants, can be also othher public spaces, there numbers are rising again. For cruises when they will start up again. 2020 seems to be not realistic, or at least we will see a very limited amount of ships to start towards the end of the year. For the US, once they will get things better under control the cruise business should be able to start up again slowly but surely towards the end of this year or begining of next year but as mentioned very limited. We will see the large ships with likely capacity restrictions but non of the smaller ships operate at the begining (Anything below Voyager class). For cruises to resume as long as COVID is amongst us will also depend on the safety concepts for handling outbreaks on board and for guarantees by ports to still let the Ships dock even when positive cases are on board and letting passengers disembark. Once there is a clear concept for that, then we will see cruises start rather sooner (towards end of thiss year) than later given the COVID cases in the countries / ports the cruise will cover in it's itinarary are at relatively low levels.

Those should not be closed. But I don't live near the beach - and those are probably where people are too close together and spreading C19.

Local bars were doing protests two weeks ago, asking to be allowed to open. The Elbo Room organized the protests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are opinions, but nothing substantial to prove that restaurants should not be open - especially the ones with outdoor seating. There is a pretty well researched study of an indoor restaurant in Guangzou China that showed exactly how the virus spread through the ventilation system, infecting 9 people from different families sitting at 3 different tables. There is no way I am eating at a closed in restaurant, tables separated or not, until there is evidence that it is safe. We have too many restaurants with take out and/or widely spaced outdoor seating to even consider inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think bars are a source of spread, but, as your example illustrates, not the only source by any means. There is a lot of flaunting of social distancing, usage of masks and common sense that seem to be contributing to the continued spread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion based on everything I have heard, read and based on working directly with medical facilities every day. If the country made wearing masks mandatory and seriously enforced social distancing, I think you would see a huge decrease in COVID numbers. However, I don’t see our country’s culture allowing something like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opening up bards where you can't stand and only sit on tables with limited seats etc does not make to much sense either. Hence better to keep these closed.
