So, Sweetheart & I have basically decided not to travel until next year. BUT, I am hoping against hope that it will be safe for our 4th anniversary - April 2021. We've done one Carnival (on the Fantasy, insert sad trombones here) and are interested in branching out. We're not interested in flying or driving more than about 10 hours, so Galveston & New Orleans it is! It looks like the only thing that gets us to Coco Cay from there is Majesty in 2021. No balconies. Just like the Fantasy. ? Is it an older ship?

Are you a mod?

This sounds like an international aid/relief situation, then. Unemployed, but not swamped by tourists bringing and taking the virus sounds better than the alternative. Is it political to mention the fact that at one point, less than 5 years ago, we had a full-fledged pandemic response team? I rescind the bits about who dismantled it and why, then. AT ONE POINT, the US would have been much better managed for this.

Nobody is saying "quarantine forever." For heaven's sake.

Or we do what we can now (not travelling, social distancing, staying out of the bar and the amusement park and the public pool, encouraging workplaces to implement work from home as much as possible) so that we're not risking our neighbor's life because we can't be bothered with a little temporary restriction.

The US had a full-fledged plan and infrastructure for this sort of thing. It was dismantled.
