When will Coz re-open?

"until we have reached herd immunity either via enough people having had it or a vaccine."
I'm looking ahead.

Which is precisely my point; at the moment no one has a clue when that will be.

Currently booked for 7/7 with fingers crossed!

Thats when we were booked - Sun Country canceled our flights

Carnival Cruise Line to resume sailing 1-August. Announced today are three departures each from Galveston and Miami; two from Port Canaveral. With those origins, it's a pretty good bet they will be making port calls in Cozumel.

Will the Powers That Be on Cozumel allow it? If it were my decision to make, I wouldn't let any of their passengers onto the island. Of course, if I were running a cruise line I would insist on 100% COVID testing, twice, for all people aboard. Twice to reduce the probability of erroneous test results.

Id think there almost has to be some kind of screening before getting on planes or boats.

I seen that Florida governor saying something about a task force putting together ideas for international travel to “restart” might include rapid testing - talking about flights from Europe

The stated date for reopening the Mexican economy is 1-June, with an expectation that (barring a second wave) the pandemic will be resolved by late June or early July. August - October are the traditional worst of the slow season, so in the absence of any other factors, I can't imagine that they *wouldn't* allow cruise ships.

FWIW, August - October is also the worst weather. It's the peak of hurricane season and the most hot and humid.

Temperature screening is not sufficient, especially not for thousands of people who will be confined together on a ship for a week or more. Asymptomatic and presymptomatic people can spread the virus.

...barring a second wave...

And there's the rub.

As I posted to Twitter recently:

In chess, the pawns go first. *Some* of them make it to the end game. Usually.
