Mitigation Measures

This article reports that cruise ships are going to be allowed again starting in April (which apparently is the normal cruise ship season). Passengers will have to take a test before disembarking.


This press release reports on an Order which requires health professionals to disclose their vaccination status to their College. I’ve seen some articles which say, basically, “IT DOESN’T MENTION WHEN THEY HAVE TO BE VAXXED BY, DOES THAT MEAN DR. H IS GOING TO LET THEM OFF THE HOOK?!?!?!” My take is that a few HC professionals resisted, saying “NYAH NYAH NYAH NYAH YOU CAN’T MAKE ME PRIVACY POLICY DUMBASS!”, to which Dr. H said, “okay, I will make you”.
