As I currently have covid19 and been in bed for 12 days I can say definitely everyone should grab the vaccine for themselves, and encourage your family,and friends to get it as soon as it is available. It is very unpleasant. Graham. Hang in there and get well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until you catch it you don't know how it will affect you so why take a risk? Sorry you have caught this awful covid Graham. Hope you are feeling better and on the road to recovery.

Until you catch it you don't know how it will affect you so why take a risk? I fully intend to get vaccinated but a major factor in that decision is travelling again. There are people who won't get vaccinated and I suspect those people can forget about going to a number of places for a long time and depending upon the place maybe even for the rest of their lives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stance could be very problematic as not all vaccines may be approved by CDC. I suspect the Russian vaccine for instance may not be. But countries from which cruise lines source a number of employees may be using vaccines not necessarily approved by CDC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish you as others have a speedy and full recovery and agree that all cruise lines will require you to be vaccinated before boarding and rightly so. I’ll drop you in a couple of bottles of Newcastle Brown when passing if everything else fails.🤓 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a friend this person died 23 days after his diagnosis. He was hit by a car and his family are under the impression he is included in the death count. The true infection figure is probably far higher and the death toll probably lower as having it and dying does not mean you died as a result of it. In reality, deaths are very likely under counted, because the "non-covid" related deaths spike every time the covid related deaths spike. https://public.tableau.com/views/COVID_excess_mort_withcauses_11112020/WithAndWithoutCOVID?:embed=y&:jsdebug=y&:toolbar=n&:tabs=n&:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link In the US we've had statistically excessive deaths every week since the last week of March. Last summer we were under the excess death line by about 3,000 people a week. I don't think that many more people are being hit by cars or choking on food. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our NHS said they could send oxygen to our home if my breathing became really bad but reality is they would take me to hospital where visitors are not allowed. All the specialised meds and treatments are only available at our NHS hospitals for extreme cases. Correction heart attack December 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes 62 with no underlying health issues. Actually in great health, very physical person. He has been in and out of out with oxygen levels just below 80. He hasn't been able to talk on phone. Due to him having covid pneumonia they kept telling us they may have to intubate but just yesterday we got word his oxygen levels are starting to improve. Was around 82 yesterday. I hope his oxygen levels continue to rise and he can make an excellent recovery. Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
