Florida alone will lose 9 billion and 160,000 jobs (not to mention travel money other states lose in airlines, trains and other money). I hope they get this right. Vaccines fully by Friday for all crew. Since the crew are mostly from foreign countries as well as the ships company are from foreign countries, I can see how some weren’t vaccinated. United States is doing ok to good with vaccinations, but the world as a whole is not near the numbers needed. That’s why President Biden is sending vaccines overseas.
