JohnfromUK Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 I see that the cruise industry has tried to 'restart' itself with a (the Sea Dream with a small number of passengers (53) and 66 crew) cruise. Despite taking stringent precautions, Covid has struck and to date 5 passengers are ill with Covid and quarantined on the ship. Wild horses couldn't drag me onto a cruise right now - but it does seem that they did take careful precautions - which have clearly either not worked - or some other mishap has occurred (testing inaccuracies?)

They all apparently had tests 2 weeks, 1 week and on the day of departure and all tested clear - so how the hell did they get it!!! Any test that you get is like the MOT - you are only really covered for that point in time of the testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why it is totally impractical to use testing as a basis for allowing contact in; care homes sports anything else where it is used to 'prove' freedom from carrying the virus I'm not even sure that it is all that accurate at the time of testing; in a separate article Elon Musk says he had several tests on one day - and tested both positive and negative.

Wild horses would never drag me on to a cruise ship or narrowboat at any point in time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narrow boats are good, nice and relaxing depending on the company. Testing simply catches cases and stops people spreading it on, someone could have got a taxi that morning for the cruise, picking up the virus, it wouldn't have shown up.

blackbird Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) Just shows how much of the virus is out there, if they cannot contain it on a ship just think of the risk you are taking next time you go into a supermarket ⚰️⚰️⚰️ Edited November 14, 2020 by blackbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
