I still have a cruise paid for, not sure whats going to happen. Its scheduled for Sept. Doubt that happens but we shall see. Disney says they are cruising this Fall. Not sure when Fall starts though. I don't see how social distance happens if that is still the mandate. I really have no interest in wearing a mask all the time on a cruise either.Originally posted by ScoobyDoo View PostI swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell.

One thing that has to happen first is that cruises start at 50% capacity. And show that being safe. Odds are that most of the starting cruises will be masksOriginally posted by walrus View Post
But with the new CDC directive that if everyone is vaccinated, no masks are needed may be one path to get no-masks cruising going. Lots and lots of debate on the cruise boards. The mask debates used to blow up into huge ones, but now the moderators shut them off before they get into the endless loops.
We don't want to wear a mask, either- but instead of rushing to get back on board, we will wait. Although, right now, we do have a Sept cruise on our schedule- it's the last one in a long list that date back to last April.Comment

I checked for appointments at about 1am and found one for Monday at a spot about 5 minutes away! Hooray for being a night owl!"It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

Massachusetts is opening up a site tomorrow to pre-register for a vaccination appointment. I'd register, but the instructions say you won't be notified until you're eligible. And I have no idea when that will be so why bother?Comment

Yeah. They're wrong. Spectacularly wrong.Originally posted by WeAreNDHockey View Post
Medicare pays a premium (so far it's been in the form of block payments separate from the usual reimbursement) for COVID-related treatment. But private insurers, who cover most Americans, do not. Also, Medicare requires the same level of scrutiny they do for any other claim. You need a positive test result, you need to submit your utilization review for stays longer than a couple of days (the "two midnight" rule). You need all the same clinical data that any other claim requires. The idea that they could just slap a COVID dx on a patient and make fat stacks of cash comes from people with zero knowledge of how hospitals bill. A doctor fraudulently putting COVID dx on a patient faces the loss of their license or worse. And since hospitals don't exactly share revenue directly, there's literally no incentive for them to do so.
And again, that's only one payer.
second edit:
This also ignores the fact that, again, when hospitals move to surge capacity they lose the ability to perform all those actual revenue generating procedures (knee replacements, heart catheters, CT scans, etc.). Those make up for far more of our revenue that the "normal" medical care for people sick with COVID. It also ignores the fact that respirators aren't cheap, and neither is the frightening amount of PPE we all suddenly go through.
Basically, my point is that anyone claiming that hospitals or doctors or whomever "just list everyone as COVID so they can get paid more" is a moron and I wonder how they've lived as long as they have without simply forgetting to breathe one day.Last edited by Swansong; 03-11-2021, 11:44 AM.I gotta little bit of smoke and a whole lotta wine...Comment

Good to hear!Originally posted by SonofSouthie View Post
Had a conversation with a friend who managed to get a companion shot when she took her mom - she only had a headache and only for a day. She drank a lot of water. She said it felt like a hangover. Wondered if there is something in the vaccine that dehydrates you. Good question. And does blood type or age factor into how people are affected by it?Comment

I've heard that it's the elevated glucose from the immune response that increases thirst, although I didn't notice being more thirsty than normal.Originally posted by Scarlet View Post
with Moderna, for me
dose 1: no symptoms
dose 2: general sense of malaise
nothing severe
Age is a definite factor in severity of symptoms. Older people generally report fewer severe symptoms.Last edited by BassAle; 03-11-2021, 05:48 PM.Comment
