CDC says to avoid cruise ships regardless of vaccine status

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has advised Americans to avoid traveling by cruise ships regardless of their vaccination status amid a global surge of coronavirus cases.
In a statement released Thursday, the health agency’s COVID-19 Travel Health Notice updated the warning from level 3 to level 4, which is the health agency’s highest level of warning.
The agency stated that vaccinated and boosted individuals are at risk of spreading the virus onboard.

“The virus that causes COVID-19 spreads easily between people in close quarters on board ships, and the chance of getting COVID-19 on cruise ships is very high, even if you are fully vaccinated and have received a COVID-19 vaccine booster dose,” the CDC said in its statement.
The CDC also recommended that those who did travel on a cruise ship get vaccinated and receive their booster shot if eligible.
In a statement to CNBC, Brian Salerno, the Cruise Lines International Association's senior vice president of global maritime policy, said the industry is disappointed with the CDC's recommendation.
“We’re obviously disappointed at the CDC’s decision to raise the travel level for cruise today—especially given the overwhelming level of effectiveness of cruise protocols that are resulting in significantly lower level of cases on cruise as compared to land,” Salerno told CNBC. LINK

Imagine being in business when the government tells your customers to avoid you at all costs.

Any statements regarding exercise, nutrition, and actually managing underlying health issues?
Or, just hide forever. Do nothing fun. Take shot after shot.

The US can arbitrarily fire people from their careers for not taking a “vaccine” that obviously doesn’t do it’s job. Evil.

Before coronavirus, did anyone really give a shite what the CDC said? Did you ever have a physician give you advice based on CDC guidance? I can't remember any time one of my doctors referenced the CDC in treating me.

I will fully, and happily comply.

TBH, people have been saying that specifically about Carnival ships for years.

I got family members going on a cruise that is leaving tomorrow. I guess we'll see how that goes.

They need to sue the CDC now!

Is this like throwing in the towel?

Yep.
Consider that the government is pushing the importance of mental health and well-being while at the same time telling people that they aren’t important or essential. It’s just twisted, torturous and intentional.

I think this is the first step in a soon to be announced Biden initiative called the basement bunker survival plan.
Old Joey can come out and tell us how effective it was during the campaign to hide in his basement getting oatmeal shuttled down to him.

I've no desire to go on a cruise but I had a doctor friend who went on tons of them. So you might take his advice. He said go on mid-sized ships. Giant ships put you in close contact with way too many people and you are much more likely to catch something. And he told me this before Covid.

Thought cruises ships did not allow pure bloods on there currently.
