The fastest way to totally stop a virus in its tracks without widespread vaccinations is complete total shutdown, period. We will never get total shutdown because we have a Democratic society. If we cant have total shutdown then we need to accept there will be spread, there will be mutations leading to more spread, and there will be many many more deaths. We destroyed the Worlds economy and millions of peoples lives doing it half way and where are we at the end of the day. Here arguing over whether one sector of the economy should be totally kept from recovering because we dont want spread while other sectors that continue to produce spread we are fine with re-opening because well "the CDC doesnt control those". Hypocrisy at its finest. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypocrisy at its finest. Right? Don't you just love it? We ask why the CDC is stopping cruising from the US while airplanes fly full or nearly full, and the response is "CDC doesn't control those" aka "not my department." So let's spell it out for them: the CDC is part of the US government. With me so far? And the US government DOES have jurisdiction over economic activity, including airplanes (via the FAA and the DOT) as well as the cruising industry. It's become a childish game of semantics and technicalities, people attempting to deflect know better, they've just run out of excuses for why movie theatres, theme parks, airplanes, hotels, etc are all seeing restrictions eased, but not cruising. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably one thing we can all agree on. We booked a Thanksgiving cruise on Mardi Gras a few weeks back. I'm reasonably confident it will sail.

We are done with this virus. Let it do what it will, we are getting back to normal. It's not difficult to stay socially distanced at a Cracker Barrel. You could fire a canon off in one and not hit anybody. Cruise ships are going to be more challenging than a so-so chain restaurant on land.

Because some people are so childish they can’t even keep their masks on fo less than an hour flight, that’s why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ColeThornton Posted April 8, 2021 #111 Share Posted April 8, 2021 The mods continually ask people to not engage in political sparring yet it continues. They delete posts and when it gets bad enough they lock the thread. As participants of this community we should be responsible enough to respect the forum and the job the moderators do. Just my .02 worth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something more current: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7014e1.htm?s_cid=mm7014e1_w Sad to think of the effort that went into the 3rd newcomer vs the first two that have been around forever. Maybe we could cure those too with the same effort? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BoozinCroozin Posted April 8, 2021 #114 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I am so glad they finally did this. I stated it the whole time it would take a federal injunction. Now, it may be that the CDC will have to defend itself in court, defend their failed agenda and protocols, and explain why they targeted the cruise industry. Thank you FL and Ron DeSantis!!! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 180 the media has done is nothing short of astounding, although I predicted it last November. The regular WH press briefings last year were frequently just shy of a shouting match, nowadays they're asking softball questions about whether Biden will redecorate Air Force One. Good grief, what a bunch of sycophants they've become. I had PLENTY of beefs with the previous Prez, but the media's fawning now is absolutely grotesque. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the previous guy gets the "Outstanding Creating Hatred" award as this was the top accomplishment. That's the hurtful and sad part that will take decades to improve. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then as a pilot will you please explain to one and all the difference in the CDC's mandate for the cruise industry and flying within the United States. There are confused people who could use your insight. Edited April 8, 2021 by sanmarcosman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media's job is to present the news (good, bad, unpopular and/or indifferent) and factual information. Some opinions are ok but they are just that "Others Thoughts". The media gave up presenting anything indifferently a long time ago and when someone challenged them on it they attacked like sharks in blood infested waters. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media is biased and purposefully leave out all the facts or don't bother reporting at all. Just look at they way they pushed their agenda on the last guy and how a certain governor who has all kinds of issues is ignored. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BoozinCroozin Posted April 8, 2021 #122 Share Posted April 8, 2021 2 hours ago, toad16X said: Covid does not make the top 5 leading cause of death..... You are correct. One of the leading causes of death in the US has a 100% cure rate but it is ignored by uneducated people. Another leading cause can be ended immediately as well...ban all tobacco products. Seriously, the CDC doesn't care one bit about controlling diseases. The care about the wealth they are putting in their pocket. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
