There will be covid cases on these ships. All you need is one and the whole cruise industry will shut down. Why? Fear and misinformation.

but at least 130 million have been vaccinated. so 12000 isn't really that significant. and, most cases are mild or asymptomatic. about 150 people have died but some from other causes than covid.
so count me as person who thinks the vaccine is virtually bullet proof. it's a no brainer to require it for cruising. if a significant number of people are not vaccinated and covid breaks out on the ship you may run into the same problems previous ships with covid outbreaks had...the inability to dock somewhere.
and again, the covid survival rate may be high, but there's no predicting who will get a serious infection. the more unvaccinated people, i.e. possible hosts for the virus, the more chance of variants forming that are more resistant.
I still have my son's school forms required listing his vaccinations so he can attend school. Desantis is just trying to appeal to a certain sector of the population. A great many of us want businesses to require vaccinations.
