I do not find that funny myself. I already had one cruise canceled and the way things are looking the next one could be canceled too. No, we're all in the same not on the boat. We should be getting excited as our cruise would only be less than 2 weeks away. And it was not meant as a joke, rather as a dystopian view of the future. I read these boards, so I "KNOW' that there either will never be a vaccine, or it will not be taken by 1/2 of the people. And it's maximum efficiency will be for only for a few months and that's for the at most 70% who will get any immunity from it at all. And years from now we'll all learn the horrible side effects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy and great trip to do my land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had one canceled and we canceled two and we have an FCC that I wonder about. We're doing other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year? Way too many hurdles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND Brazil no longer requires visas for US citizens. Yes, I arrived April 2004, and people that arrived the week before I did, back took more than 6 hours to clear immigration. But only Americans.

But only Americans. Oh, 16 years ago!. Bob was working in Brazil in the 80s and very early 90s. And we bought our place in Rio in 2008. Neither of us remember finger printing and we've never had a wait of any significance at immigration. Regarding "Americans" the way it's been is tit-for-tat. Whatever the US required then Brazil did.

If I leave the planet from natural causes there may be a vaccine that will work because my goal is to live to be 100 plus.However,since that is not likely I most likely will not be around to see a vaccine that works.
