The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued guidance Friday that will eventually allow cruises to fully resume in U.S. waters, though it did not include a date for when ships will be allowed to sail.

The CDC first issued a no-sail order in March 2020 and the industry, which has been operating under a "conditional sailing order" (CSO) since late October, has been clamoring for a date to sail again.

Instead, the agency on Friday offered technical instructions about reducing the spread of COVID-19 and how to deal with outbreaks that occur at sea.

According to the CDC, this phase of the conditional sailing order will include simulated voyages that will allow crew and port personnel to practice new COVID-19 operational procedures with volunteers before sailing with passengers.



The CDC's update includes a requirement to increase COVID-19 reporting frequency from weekly to daily. It also updates a color-coding system used to classify ships related to COVID-19 and addresses routine testing of crew based on a ship's color status.

"Cruising safely and responsibly during a global pandemic is difficult," the CDC said in a statement. "While cruising will always pose some risk of COVID-19 transmission, following the phases of the CSO will ensure cruise ship passenger operations are conducted in a way that protects crew members, passengers, and port personnel, particularly with emerging COVID-19 variants of concern."

A Walt Disney World guest was arrested and charged with trespassing after refusing to get his temperature screened, according to the Orange County Sheriff's Office.

While handcuffed, the Louisiana tourist tried to convince law enforcement officers that he had paid too much to be arrested.

"I paid $15,000. You can't trespass me for paying $15,000," Kelly Sills, who was staying at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, said in a video seen by the Tampa Bay Times.

The troublesome guest also claimed to be a stockholder while pleading with sheriffs, Orlando Weekly reported.

White House hits troubling pandemic crossroads as rising cases threaten progress



When Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ditched her prepared remarks this week to voice a feeling of "impending doom" about rising Covid-19 cases, she flipped the script on weeks of hopeful news in the United States' fight against the pandemic.

While she and other Biden administration officials have for weeks urged Americans not to let their guard down, rising vaccination rates spurred a wave of optimism the long, national nightmare was reaching its end.

That shifted this week as a steady increase in cases -- eerily reminiscent of the last three surges -- took hold, worrying administration officials who fear a backslide.

Fighting back tears, Walensky's dramatic warning during Monday's White House coronavirus briefing and her plea to "hold on a little while longer" marked an inflection point in the narrative of the pandemic, jolting the country to the reality that even the current pace of nearly three million shots per day may not be enough to prevent a final surge among the majority of Americans who are not yet vaccinated.

Inside the White House, a balancing act is now underway between maintaining the optimism that an accelerated vaccination program will ultimately bring the crisis to a close while publicly ramping up warnings of a potential fourth surge fueled by new variants.

President Joe Biden, who has expressed worry behind-the-scenes that Americans are becoming cavalier about taking steps to prevent contagion, offered another warning before departing for Camp David, where he is spending the Easter weekend.

"Too many Americans are acting as if this fight is over. It is not," Biden said Friday at the White House, capping a week during which he has received steady updates on the uptick in numbers from his team and grew increasingly concerned about it, according to aides. "Cases are going up again. The virus is spreading more rapidly in many places. Deaths are going up in some states. So I ask, I plead with you: Don't give back the progress we have all fought so hard to achieve."

"We have to keep reminding people -- as I try to do and as others try to do -- that just because you've got 100 million people that have had their first vaccination, it also means that you've got 150 million adults that haven't yet," said Andy Slavitt, a senior adviser on the White House's coronavirus response team, in an interview. "You want people to feel less scared -- that's good -- but you also want people to be cautious and conscientious of the fact that there's a lot of people who aren't vaccinated yet."

Slavitt said the President and the White House expected cases would eventually rise again before the US reached vaccine-induced herd immunity. But he said the US response to another surge would be different than earlier in the pandemic, in large part thanks to the vaccine.

Officials said the biggest uncertainty now is whether a surge in cases will lead to the proportional increase in hospitalizations and deaths that marked previous spikes. For weeks, officials have held out hope that by vaccinating the overwhelming majority of people over 65, they could prevent an uptick in cases from leading to an increase in hospitalizations and deaths. But the spread of the B.1.1.7 variant has thrown that into question.

In Michigan, where the variant is widespread and cases have been surging, hospitalizations among younger adults have spiked, muddying projections about the consequences of another surge.

But even as the President and his top officials scale up their warnings, the limits of his authority have been plain.

Delta became the last major US carrier to end its practice of blocking off middle seats this week as demand ramps back up.

Other venues have also said they will begin operating at full capacity, including the Texas Rangers, who planned to open their Globe Life Field at its full 40,300-person limit for Opening Day this week. That drew a rebuke from Biden himself in an interview with ESPN.

"I think it's a mistake," Biden said. "They should listen to Dr. Fauci, the scientists and the experts. But I think it's not responsible."

But letting un-vax'd kids into the country not TESTING ANYBODY the average reports say that 25% of the KIDS ALONE test positive for CCP and released into the country.. sounds rather unwise. ( look back I posted about this ) Hell he won't even GO to the border that he opened back up, and as far as I know Kneepads has been in TX but NOT at the border that she is now in charge of the "surge" of Illegals/Criminals @ The Border.

Biden pleads with states to slow openings as new viral surge builds

CDC director gives emotional warning of 'impending doom'


CDC director gives emotional warning of 'impending doom' 03:57
(CNN)President Joe Biden is warning states that are rushing ahead with opening businesses, bars and restaurants to slow down as one of his top health chiefs warns of "impending doom" over a possible new Covid-19 surge.

"Our work is far from over. The war against Covid-19 is far from won. This is deadly serious," the President said on Monday in an event highlighting the stunning expansion of vaccine programs, which was juxtaposed with alarming figures showing rising cases of the virus across the country
The signs of a new wave of cases come several weeks after governors, including high profile Republicans in Texas and Mississippi, reacted to the ebbing of new infections after a winter surge by dropping mask mandates and many Covid-19 restrictions. It also came after scenes of mass crowds of young revelers in Florida during spring break. The easing restrictions are not limited to red states however, with people across the country frustrated with social distancing after a year separated from family and friends.

Biden, however, pleaded with Americans to stay patient for a little longer, to avoid unnecessary deaths in what could be the end game of the pandemic.
