So they have minor colds at worse and this is a 'setback for the industry?' Most of them probably have diarrhea from eating like shit on their cruise that is worse than the covid.

When everyone above 12 required a vaccine, of course the % with covid is going to be mostly vaccinated..

Lol what setback not even 1% got infected on a ship of 6000. Show me anywhere else this level of control. Bye
