That was EXACTLY the reason for using the ice cream/sunburn metaphor . . . to show, in a very obvious way, how CAUSE and CORRELATION are so easily confused. It happens every day (especially in politics). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thusly, we should ban comedy clubs onboard! 😉 Tom Actually just ban live audiences if you can't otherwise mitigate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One unfortunate and unplanned sneeze might be all that is needed. I think that if you're showing symptons, you will know that you will be sneezing and coughing. Unexpected sneezes would not be loaded with virus microns, much less corona microns. There is a whole lot of reasons for coughing and sneezing than just the corona virus. LOL! You guys act like every cough is a corona cough. BTW, if the cruise lines don't PUSH BACK against the CDC, then the CDC will never find time to deal with the Cruise Industry. I think that this falls into the 'squeaky wheel' syndrome. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One unfortunate and unplanned sneeze might be all that is needed. Which is why it is suggested you use your elbow if necessary. But having a covering in your hand or pocket is close enough for quick use. 2 hours ago, Tom-n-Cheryl said: Normal conversation, normal breathing, laughing -- all can be vectors as well.

But, yeah, comedy clubs and other performances would need masks or distancing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already sit in the back during comedy shows so I (hopefully) won't get singled out. Distancing will just make it riskier (in that regard)! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that this falls into the 'squeaky wheel' syndrome. Asymptomatic people spread the virus, too, and that "innocent sneeze" could infect a large number of people and suddenly you have a localized shipboard "pandemic". Of course every cough is not spreading C19, but it could, and better to be proactive than dead. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too rare to be concerned about. IMO. The problem is that some ppl are trying to make this a bigger scare than what it deserves. IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for the most part, ppl are wearing masks, even though most feel it is non-sensical. We are not going to start cruising until the fear go away.
