Other than food, does a cruise ship have enough activities to keep thousands of people busy 24 hours a day for an entire length of cruise?Doc67 wrote:If the cruise operators were so worried about the health of their passengers, they could stop facilitating the endless stuffing of their faces with all you can eat food, 24 hours a day.

They've got plenty of bars I assume. Or you can cram yourself into one of their tiny swimming pools with 200 other people in there. Or admire the panoramic views of the sea, and nothing else.newkidontheblock wrote: ↑Sun Jun 13, 2021 11:00 amOther than food, does a cruise ship have enough activities to keep thousands of people busy 24 hours a day for an entire length of cruise?Doc67 wrote:If the cruise operators were so worried about the health of their passengers, they could stop facilitating the endless stuffing of their faces with all you can eat food, 24 hours a day.

If you pick your cruise right you can have 90% of the cruise docking at a different port each day so you are not on the ship during the day. Have breakfast go exploring come back for dinner few beers sleep wake up at a different port. The Mediterranean is good for this. Beats bus tours

Whatever the number of new people on the daily basis to catch covid19, it seems that always the daily number of recovered patients is a higher number, this alone makes me doubt the figures we see every day.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

Re: Following the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Outbreak - News and Discussion
Interesting report yesterday from John Campbell. The Delta variant is now 99% of new cases in the UK (and case numbers are rising sharply) and it could get big in the USA. However, vaccines are keeping serious illness and deaths at low levels.
From 12:54 he talks about Chile, which is an interesting case study for us, as it has high levels of vaccination by Sinovac, and this began at an earlier stage than here.

Re: Following the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Outbreak - News and Discussion
There are so many unknowns though. Have the people in Chile contracting Covid been vaccinated? All very well and good to say 42% fully vaccinated etc - but maybe the people getting sick aren't those people? For example here, we know most adults in PP have been vaccinated, yet nationally new cases are stubbornly sticking around 600-800/day. But they're not releasing figures specifically for PP. So how do we know if Sinovac is working or not? Conspiracy theorists may well suspect they are deliberately holding back the PP case numbers because the vaccine is not working. That would undermine any trust in it. I'd feel much better if there was a release from the govt saying that PP case numbers have dropped to two digit numbers or something.

Re: Following the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Outbreak - News and Discussion
The studies are still ongoing if whether someone fully vaccinated can spread the virus.
Yet, new guidance in the US, has recommended that mask wearing and social distancing is no longer needed for those vaccinated.
As long as all those gathering are all vaccinated. This is all done on the honor system, of course. Most places do not require proof.
On the other hand, vaccinations in the US. have been Moderna/Pfizer.
How does the China vaccines and Sputnik stack up in blocking transmission to others?
