Sure as long as they’re all beyond the two weeks from the second dose. Somehow I think this won’t be followed very diligently which would negate the entire concept from the get go.

Won't work unless the crew is Covid free and preferably vaccinated as well. You can still get and spread Covid even if you are vaccinated, it just means you have lessened symptoms.

50 years old. Hyphens used to describe a specific person/age.

this’ll end well... 🙄
