Not a true statement at all regarding the stores I frequent in Florida.

 

Masks are the norm in Marion and Brevard County

Sign me up.  I do not have immediate plans to get the vaccine. And something along the lines of not wearing a mask.  
 

That would’ve been my preference most likely.  However, I felt like we were not very close to being able to do that when I started the poll and the RCI cruisers I know usually are willing to follow RCI’s guidelines. 
 

Since then, states started to eliminate mask mandates. 

 

People always criticize polls. You'll get used to the back seat drivers once you do a few. 

 

I keep thinking of making the last choice

 

X) I HAVE NO IDEA

As long as masks are mandated and enforced, ala MSC.

He did reach 50 million in only 37 days.  Have to assume that was only 1 shot.

Pretty sure that was going to happen anyway.

Masks are not required but I didn’t see anyone without one in Publix at Halifax Plantation. (I wonder if the cancel culture will have them changing the name?). We live in Plantation Bay too. Maybe a name change coming as well.

That happened on our Oasis Noro cruise. 

 

No guarantees 

Lazy reporters always looking for those.  Make for an easy story.

Here is the rest of what I said.

 

I suck it up for airplanes and wear a mask (with frequent drink breaks) and for my son's basketball games.  Other than those two things, I haven't worn a mask for more than a total of an hour in the past 12 months. 

Interesting... now it seems some people consider not wearing a mask to be something to boast about.

Strange indeed.

Confused. 

 

Oasis had a Noro outbreak in January 2019

Started in Labadee

Could not leave ship in Falmouth

Turned away from Cozumel

Went back to PC early

 

Affected almost 500 passengers and crew

I was quarantined one day. Good times, right @Biker19

We were not and had a good time, despite the lack of ports.

None. It was a picture of a picture. I guess the x would have been to close the picture.

I meant whenever those outbreaks happen my non-cruiser friends like to ask me about cruising and why cruising is “unsafe” with the Noro outbreaks. 
 

I forgot what the % is, but once a certain % of passengers get Noro the ship is required to report it and then the media pounces.  So a reporter takes the filed report and goes through a routine spiel dissing cruising.  Pretty easy story.  Where in reality, the same type of outbreak can happen on land, and a report doesn’t get generated because all of the different doctors people would end up going to.

 

I’ve managed to avoid any cruises with Noro outbreak thus far,  I’m sure they’re not fun.

This is not true. If that was the case, what's the point of vaccines?

 

You've fallen into the media's trap of twisting "since this is all so new we're still awaiting data on that" into "the vaccine don't stop you from being contagious"

The way science works is that they cannot say you cannot transmit the virus since they have not studied that in a controlled study, so then they have to say you may be able to transmit it. It has nothing to do with the media "twisting" things.

Early data out of Israel is that there is no evidence if transmission once you e had the vaccine, but conclusions cannot be drawn yet as sample size is too small.

Let’s hope we don’t need to worry about it in our lifetime.

I was thinking Alaska? We want to keep Hawaii, of course. But with Alaska being so close to Canada..... <jk>  We could still visit without violating the PVSA. (most years)

Too bad the data is not the same in UAE.
