Musk makes a major move; U.S. hospitalizations scrape the bottom; the CDC drops its cruise ship Covid warnings; military service members enjoy two mandate wins; and much more...
Generally, when looking at travel, tourism, hotels, or vacation / entertainment stuff and the like, there is always a lot of emphasis made on "Traveling Safely". Implicit in this sort of marketing that catching Covid is dangerous and shouldn't happen
This is a legacy psychological artifact at this stage which needs to go. For example, I've removed the "Stop the Spread" email signatures from our corporate emails months ago because... why not? Tons of people are out and about with covid happily infecting their friends and family and nobody cares about it. As long as airlines, hotels, cruise liners and so on continue this pretense that protecting us against covid is something they should be doing... the insanity will continue.
It's funny that cruise ships used to report a full boatload of norovirus in the past and shrugged it off. Then covid came and they masked and jabbed up. The cruise lines are a full boatload of you know what
This reminds me of the days when Micro and Soft will release all those versions of windows on a yearly basis. Windows ME (Millenium Edition), Windows XP (eXPerience).
Now Omicron XE (Xbox Edition???, I don't know🤡).
I'm sure some verison of Omicron XELGBT+QIA will be downloadable through 5G connection.
Omg, I sent Elon musk a message last week probably along with many others to buy twitter and sort out this censorship nonsense. And guess what. He did👏👏🥰🥰💕💕
Meanwhile, here in NJ, my friend’s county is forcing her now to pay for her required (by the county) weekly tests — $70 each! So the pressure to take the clot shot is still strong here and in other parts of the country. Such tyranny!

Travel agent here: unfortunately the CDC announcement about cruising doesn't make much of a practical difference. EVERY cruise line still requires vaccines. Some, like Norwegian, have NO exemption process in place. They require it from 5 yrs old (as does Disney Cruise Line). Most cruise lines will still allow those too young to cruise without it. NCL won't even let a 2 year old onboard right now since they can't be jabbed. Carnival has an exemption application process for those adults who can't be poked; I had one client apply for a medical exemption and Carnival not only denied it, they cancelled her booking on the spot. She had at first planned to ask for a religious exemption but Carnival quietly removed that option from the drop-down menu on their application the first of this year.
As far as the CDC lowering its warning or whatever: people who are cruising don't care what the CDC says. Many got the jab for the purpose of being able to cruise (I keep saying, everybody has a price). For the CDC to remove their "warning" doesn't matter, as they lost creditability with cruiser clients at least a year ago.
I have passed up maybe a dozen free cruises the past several months. I ALWAYS reply to the invitation with my opinions about their stupid mandates. I tell my story about what mandates have done to destroy business. I'm on the frontlines. Believe it or not, they do typically reply. I'm am continually thanked for my "support" of the industry, and promised better times are coming...
Cruise line phone hold times are INSANE. Some of them have recordings we have to listen to for hours on end, saying the long wait is because of the "high demand for cruising". How's that for spin! In truth, they are giving cruises away. The backlog of calls is from people cancelling, or people with longstanding accounting issues from past cancellations. I have had clients cancelled 3, 4, 5 times and it's a hot mess. Like all things COVID, we should all know there are smoke and mirrors in place. Just thought y'all might like an insider's viewpoint.
(PS to quote VIRGIN in the YAHOO press announcement: GROSS. That socialist Richard Branson has made it very clear they are going to require the vaccine for a very long time. My whole team cancelled our November cruise on this principle.)
"failure to treat will now be considered wanton disregard" - About freaking time!!!!! Yea ha Kansas. What has been going on is medical mass murder. Withholding treatments and letting people suffer and die is murder. The state medical / pharmaceutical boards that blocked HCQ/IVM/Fluvox need to hang. The rest of the cowards in the medical system who would not speak out need to be called out for their cowardice.
Kudos to Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody as she submitted this lawsuit on 29 Mar 2022: http://myfloridalegal.com/webfiles.nsf/WF/GPEY-CCYHZH/$file/Mask+Complaint+as+Filed.pdf Twenty other states, including Kansas, joined the lawsuit as plaintiffs against these lowlifes (I do try...but I simply cannot help myself): Walensky, Berger, Becerra, Pekoske, Mayorkas.
I sent your paragraphs about the military win at Peterson to a friend whose son was "less than honorably discharged" from the Marines this winter for not getting vaccinated. It was his dream career and he was treated like a criminal and a prisoner before sent home at 20 years old. She cried when she read it.
C & C friends - my sister-in-law works at a hospital not even with patients in the finance section. She was recently told that she needed to get the booster to continue working. This is at a hospital in Boston. I’m wondering if any of you have any suggestions of how I can help her to get this taken off of her. I must add she’s also handicapped and she said that in her first religious exemption and even asked her doctor for a note and at that time both got denied !!!

Do hospitals have to return the covid bonus money they received for the misclassified covid deaths? I wonder...

Honey I shrunk the Covid numbers 😂😂😂
Ahhhh. What a way to start my Monday off! You're the best!
So, the CDC says that, essentially, if I start sneezing it's not an automatic death sentence as it once was? Progress of a kind.
Omicron XE.

FluBros: 'It's the flu, bro'
Lefties/RINOs: 'no OMG it's the plague'
Turns out the FluBros were right.
