This is an excerpted article that touches on the problems that cruise ships will have with covid outbreaks, and how the press and our litigious lawyers are ready to pounce on the cruise lines.- TOM

“Chances of more severe outbreaks are even greater in light of a court ruling Friday in favor of Gov. Ron DeSantis, who wants to stop cruise lines from requiring vaccinations.”

Exceptionally politically biased article working hard to keep the fear going and obviously hoping to completely destroy the cruise line industry. Good job alerting to this propaganda piece Capt. Tom.

It’ll be like the old slave routes from Africa where sharks learn to follow the cruise ships as they drop the dead bodies overboard.

The cruise lines employ a lot of people of third world countries and they have terrible hygiene problems. They use their hands to wipe, they don’t wash very well and given Covid-19 can be spread fecal oral then you will have spread no matter what.

The virus doesn’t live indefinitely. It has a shelf life.

One room for those dying of COVID, one room for those dying of the vaccine.

People can, with the proper precautions, visit and even stay in places where the COVID-19 Wuhan virus lurks. And this does NOT involve either social distancing or the completely fake wearing of face masks.

Ozone generators do an especially effective job of eliminating the Wuhan virus, and any of its variants, in closed spaces if used with some regularity. You just cannot be in the same room where the ozone generator is operating, as ozone is a relatively hazardous substance, and should not be breathed in. Similar effects can be gained with UV-C light, and again, not a safe instrument to be in the same room while it is operating, because of the harmful effects especially to eyes. But it is fast, destroying all virus particles within about 8 seconds of exposure.

The other step is to make yourself resistant to the virus infestation, by taking relatively large doses of a compound containing the zinc Zn++ ion. Together with an ionophore like ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), or plant polyphenols such as the flavonoids quercetin and epigallocatechin-gallate, these substances act as a method to insert the Zn++ ion into the virus particle, rendering it incapable of replication, and thus simply stopping the progression of the disease. While vaccination provides some immune protection from the Wuhan virus, having had the disease, with the body producing its own antibodies against the virus, provides a much greater degree of protection.

The huge problem came to light with the Norovirus. The ships always follow the same routes, and they also dump their waste in the water on those routes. And with inadequate filtration they use that same water for drinking. The filters take out bacteria, but not viruses.

Which is why, cruise after cruise resulted in plague ships, and no matter how well they cleaned the ship after, they keep getting Norovirus epidemics.

Why shouldn’t the same thing happen with Coronavirus?

EVERY virus “lurks” EVERYWHERE in this world.

We’ve ALWAYS lived with them and we always will.

Sorry folks - we GET sick once in a while..

and, oh yeah... we’re all gonna die from something sometime.
NOBODY gets a pass.

Our society needs to grow up and deal with that fact.

On cruise ships, heart attacks are common. So is Norovirus. And colds, flu, you name it. Covid “infections” are no more dangerous than heart attacks. Why everyone freaks out when tested positive for covid? All it means is you were exposed to the virus and your body is handling it well if you are asymptomatic. It is really not an “infection” if you are asymptomatic.

Those 2 passengers on a recent cruise who tested positive were NOT sick. They did not even pass on the “infection” to anyone else.

With majority of passengers on upcoming cruises already vaccinated, I see less deaths on cruise ships from covid than on land.
