Getting into Canada just got more complicated.

I think other countries are going to follow suit.

Additionally, if they haven't already, cruise lines should require vaccinations of all on board.

I postponed a river cruise again! Was going to cruise May 2020, then postponed it until May 2021 and just postponed it again. Many venues aren't even open yet. And frankly, I wouldn't even think of traveling before I get vaccinated.

I have an emergency travel I need to do soon. I am waiting until the 2nd shot before I go out of the country.
I will check, but I think even citizens returning to US need proof of negative Covid within 72 hours?
I wonder if they will make vaccination proof mandatory soon at the US Customs & Border check.
It is a non threatening emergency, but I am so reluctant to travel without the full set of Moderna.
I understand even after the 2nd shot max immunity is only achieved 2 wks after 2nd shot. So, seems safe to say I can plan my trip to leave in 6 wks.

It would be the worst situation ever to be out of the country without the immunization.
What if you got stuck for some reason?
Right now its a psycho drama to go to the grocery store. I can't imagine on a plane with an 8 hour flight or more.

7. Until these floating monstrosities can run green and stay clean, they should be mothballed.

The ships foul the air, pollute the seas, and are disease ridden. Don’t allow them to sail before they can prove zero environmental impact.
