FL Governor and Vaccine Proof - Thoughts?

Rate this topic


Jan115

Recommended Posts

Florida Governor DeSantis signed a bill which prohibits businesses from asking for proof of vaccine from its patrons. Yet he is demanding that the CDC - which will require guests and crew to be vaccinated -  should allow cruise ships to sail from Florida ASAP.

What are your thoughts?

I know that I, at least at the outset, will not cruise unless a vaccine is required, so I would not sail out of a Florida port if they are allowed to bypass that.  We need to give the cruises the best possible chance of getting started again without a Covid crisis, otherwise they will end up shut down for who knows how long!

I totally agree, Andi. And where did the CDC get the 98% for crew and 95% guest mandatory vaccine percentages? Why not 100%?

Unless they are allowing a small percentage for medical contraindications to being vaccinated, but I would think that would only affect about 1% of either population so yes, I think they should both at least be 99% of crew and guests!

You could be right, Andi, and in the case of guests perhaps they are discounting kids too young for vaccination but allowed to cruise with testing? Just a guess.
