    I think some in this thread have it right..."Fully covered, shoes and shirt required."

    I suspect they're hoping it will be rescinded before the 100 days. If they cancel all the way out won't they potentially be struck with empty ships they've already refunded?

    True. No vaccine is 100% effective and there will always be people who are unable or unwilling to take it. However, it makes more sense than testing...and,  what other diseases would this be expanded to?

    But, what's the likelihood it will be any sooner than mid to late June?  If we're successful in flattening the curve then that draws the end out further. 
    Not to mention that #2 gives the CDC the authority to extend it beyond the 100 days. I for one do not want this to end any sooner than it needs to be to ensure it doesn't spread any further than is necessary.  IMHO, that's more important than anything else.

    That article is inflammatory, way over the top, an unfair characterization, and not exactly false.
    The fact is a contagious virus could easily go through passengers and crew like wildfire.  But, 99.999999999999999999999% of the time it ain't a problem.  It's only in a world wide pandemic that it becomes a problem...a once in a generation event.
    In the end, that article is just fear mongering and doesn't generally apply...most of the time.

    Maybe I’m wrong (wouldn’t be the first time) but I don’t read this article as lessening the the CDC order to 80 days; rather this article is referring to the original 120 day order being downgraded to 100 (article written April 13)
    The document in the public inspection section of the federal register still shows 100 days and is due for publishing at midnight.

    So just as the curve is bending down, and the number of deaths is going down and as the hospitals will be able to catch up you want to open up everything all at once. Thank goodness people like this aren't in charge and we have adults in most states running things.

    I doubt it will last 100 days.  I kinda think that the max they expect so rather than update the order they said 100 unless rescinded sooner.

    You're correct, though it's largely an academic debate.  CDC can easily shorten the 100 days or lengthen the 100 days.  
    No one should be assuming that a cruise scheduled to depart on April 15 + 101 days will proceed.

    I've been seeing lots of argument on Facebook about when the 100 days starts.  Some people are adamant that it starts from the original March 14th date.  Others, including myself, read it as starting from the date of publication of the new order which is scheduled for April 15th. 
    Do I read it wrong?

    That's how I've been reading it. The text says 100 days from the date of publication in the Federal Register, and per the Federal Register's website, the order is scheduled to be published on 4/15, so that's when the 100 days would start.

    There is now a new publication date and a new document number.  I don't know what that's about though.
