Makes sense with Delta going around. It is high risk. These are just recommendations, though, so it doesn't sound like it's going to affect any rules about cruising. People will have to decide for themselves what risks to take or not take.
Agree 100%.. My other issue is are other passengers going to look at my wife and myself and think those people are old and shouldn't be cruising because the CDC said so.
The CDC can only make recommendations. Just like your doctor. What you do with the information is up to you.
That depends on the doctor. Doctors in private practice are more likely to share their personal opinions than those working for large group clinics or hospitals, and doctors' opinions on Covid run the gamut. I've recently been to specialists who aren't currently wearing masks in their private clinic or requiring it of their employees, even in the midst of a huge Delta surge in my area. I see another specialist who has never required masks & thinks Covid is way overblown. Another is so careful that he is still only doing virtual appointments. Their opinions vary almost as much as those of the general population.
Yup my rheumatologist is direct with me and tells me how it is with lupus masks still required
I agree that it depends on the doctor. My dad had a solid organ transplant in 1984. That being said at this point he is much healthier than most transplant patients due to the time passed, however still on a low dose of immunosuppressants. He has been fully vaccinated plus just got his 3rd dose. His doctor told him to just be choosy with what cruise line he goes with, wash his hands and wear his mask and he would be fine to go. She said we can’t live life in a bubble. But doctors are all over the spectrum on this and I’m sure it depends on your individual health situation as well.
Exactly.
