When I read the article, I presumed one of the following:

1) A vaccinated person had gotten infected, but the protection kept them asymptomatic.

2) Someone lied about vaccination and got lucky that they were asymptomatic.

3) A child got infected and unknowingly passed it along to an adult who may or may not have been infected.

#3 is actually the unlikeliest scenario, as the child should test positive in that theoretical as well. However, we all know that COVID tests are far from perfect in detecting infected patients.

There's a lot of doom and gloom in the cruise industry that they couldn't go one sailing without COVID positives. However, I think that being asymptomatic indicates that vaccines are working as intended.

I strongly suspect that the people who tested positive have faced intense interrogation about their vaccinations. That's the part of the story I'm awaiting.

My thought was DeSantis is an idiot. -- nm - . Jun 13, 18:28
This came up on Thursday, and my opinion remains the same: The sooner things get out of hand for cruise ships, the sooner they get around to doing the right thing. -- nm* - Mop, Montreal Canadiens Fan Jun 13, 15:53
These are the current requirements for the cruise I'm taking next June. I'm sure they'll change by then. -- (link) - Meg Jun 13, 13:13
There was a story a month or 2 ago where a bunch of people flew from Dubai into Turkey with fake covid negative tests. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 13, 13:10
If those are the only cases, are truly vaccinated, and remain asymptomatic, that's about best case scenario for the industry's first sailing - ty97 Jun 13, 12:29 14
- This wasn't Florida; it was St. Maarten. -- nm - David Jun 13, 12:32 13
  - oh -- nm - ty97 Jun 13, 12:35 12
    - Well then I will revise my statement with this: Cruises that do NOT port in Florida have a chance -- nm - ty97 Jun 13, 12:36 11
      - The only chance is if vaccination is required. I have a patient who was opposed to the vaccine... went to travel to Indy... now positive and admitted - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 13, 12:44 9

        Someone replied to a recent article of mine by saying that it was all about personal responsibility now. - David Jun 13, 12:47 6
        
        I think that person is mistaking "selfishness" for "personal responsibility." - ReluctantCynic Jun 13, 13:19 1

        Yeah, there is no personal responsibility. The new John Hopkins study shows that only about 54% of transplant patients develop antibodies. - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 13, 13:06
        
        That person thinks their choice impacts them and them alone. If that were the case, okay. It's not the case. -- nm - ty97 Jun 13, 13:02 2
        
        This person, his wife baby sits grandkids etc - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 13, 13:08 1
        
        This has been my line. There's no such thing as personal choice when it comes to infectious diseases. -- nm - Reagen Jun 13, 13:13
        
        Vaccine required *AND* proof required. Yes -- nm - ty97 Jun 13, 12:44
      - Heh. -- nm - David Jun 13, 12:40
