Saga cruises

Darwinmarts could be open evenings only, and slogan could be taken from The Doors song....

Five to one, baby, One in five
No one here gets out alive

We've done a few cruises and whenever I’ve suggested a cruise, the possibility of a breakout of Norovirus has been one of Mrs Motties main concerns that we argue about before booking. The other one was that she was frightened that a ship would tip over. I told her that just couldn’t happen and when it did, it took me 6 years to get her back on to one of them. Now with Corona, I doubt if I’ll get her back on a ship ever again.

It was the other way around with my neighbours. She was keen, he wasn't. First cruise they spent 11 out of 14 nights in the cabin with Noro. Unusually for cruising, they both came home several pounds lighter. She's not mentioned cruises since.

It makes perfect sense however, to prevent selfish anti-vaxer idiots from infecting the community via their ignorance and ridding them from shared indoor public places and amenities.

As usual Nosey, your stupidity defies belief and knows no bounds. VACCINES DO NOT STOP THE SPREAD OF CORONA.

You may now consider yourself better informed.

That's not right. We don't know if it does nothing, slows spread or stops it completely. We don't know yet, because it takes a long time to work that out.

If they did though (stop the spread), don't you think that would be good news though?

Strange then, that as far as possible good news anyway, "they" happily admit that it's too early to tell, or that they don't know.
Contrast that with bad news; it's all cataclysm, and certainty.

The little we do know, or have been told, is that it diminishes the effects of the virus on the body - fewer dying, fewer ending up with serious long term health issues. What not to like? The jury is still out on whether it stops or reduces the spread.

It would be great news, and vaccines probably will slow the spread of Covid. Or in more detail it'll reduce the time someone is infectious and maybe reduce the amount of virus they spread around. Possibly so low it effectively stops the spread.

I am delighted we have open honesty on this front rather than mindless confidence and bluster. No politicians named to protect the guilty.

So - how do they know that if -

The jury is still out on whether it stops or reduces the spread.

You are getting mixed up, they are 2 different things.

I made clear they were two differing aspects.

You did, but you and EFL are different.

 

[Trazor]

I made clear they were two differing aspects.

Sorry, my reply was to EFL

 

[EFLImpudence]

They are two different things but they both take time to determine.

If they have not had time to determine one how do they know the other already?

Because they take different amounts of time. Because, well, they're different things.

To give you an example, you might be able to build a house in a year or so, but you won't know if you like living in it until after its built and you've been there a while. You're asking why people who've just got the keys to a house don't know what it's like living there for three years.
