Here in Virginia the mask mandate for vaccinated people was dropped and all social distancing guidelines will be dropped effective June 30. States are getting back to normal and I think the CDC will be forced to let cruises go back to almost-normal operations soon, which might be why we are now seeing frequent updates to the CSO. It would be hard to hold one industry hostage if the rest of the country (or at least the majority of it) has returned to normal.

The data, and not public opinion, is what CDC bases decisions on, but it is true almost everything covid related is moving faster this year.
