jticarruthers Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 https://www.wfla.com/community/health/coronavirus/fully-vaccinated-people-shouldnt-be-advised-to-wear-masks-avoid-social-gatherings-florida-surgeon-general-says/ Surgeon general statement that vaccinated individuals should not be directed to wear masks or avoid crowds ... apparently DeSantis has indicated some kind of an "order" to come based on this. Similar to the EO on vaccine passports in florida, how does that play with the cruise ... you cant be forced to wear a mask into the terminal but maybe you can once your on the ship ?

HBCcruiser Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 This is interesting too: The surgeon general also stated that Florida residency will no longer be a requirement for vaccination in the state. He said any person currently in Florida who meets FDA guidelines will be eligible to get vaccinated “to ensure no COVID-19 vaccines are wasted.” This tells me that crew members can get vaccinated pretty easily.

It is funny that this came up, as I was at the pharmacy yesterday getting my last vax shot and overheard a group of people from Mexico City who were visiting Texas and getting vaccinations. twangster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 People from south of the border have been coming into the USA (legally, mind you) since the beginning of the pandemic for testing and treatment. No surprise they're coming for vaccines (and we have plenty) RCIfan1912 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Down here, the mask ordinance has been mostly county-enforced. As in, each county has its own rules. Right now, it's still in place where I live (and surrounding counties). There was talk of it being removed "soon", but TBD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Each local jurisdiction has been able to create their own mask mandate but the Florida Governor make it so they can't issue fines for violations. The best local law enforcement can do (if they decided to enforce a local mandate) is essentially a stern talking to and request that you leave the property. If you fail to comply with that request that's another matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 In Colorado, counties can now dictate their restrictions for stuff, except for masks, which is still a state mandate (unless you're in a very rural county with essentially no cases) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week he missed one of the random “we’re checking to make sure you’re quarantining” phone calls. They threatened him with fines and jail time. He’s fully vaccinated....Pfizer shots I hope things get better for all of you up there soon.

mom2mybugs Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 I'm watching to see how all this plays out with the theme parks as well. With the Florida executive orders regarding masks and vaccines, I'm wondering how the private giant entities like Disney and the cruise companies will respond.

Jane Disney will do whatever it wants and DeSantis will have to find a way to embrace it. He doesn't have any relevant control over cruise lines despite what some of his staffers have suggested. In fact it's not clear how private business would make out in a court of law if any large business tested the limits of governor EO powers or even a hastily thrown together bill that piggybacks on another bill to get it done quickly. sammy79 and mom2mybugs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Disney and Universal Studios just announced that they will no longer require temperature checks. I'm sure that the mask mandate may fall by the wayside soon as well. I still don't believe that what DeSantis is doing is going to affect the cruise lines. He has no control over them. I'm still saying that cruising from Florida will start up in mid July.

smokeybandit Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Temperature checks were a very early on way that we thought we could spot potential covid.

Temperature checks continued in full swing until it became politically expedient to remove them. I mean, I'm all for less restrictions and no temp checks! And I hope beyond all hopes that cruising does resume in mid July. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
