Our symphony had dropped the mask/vax requirements, until tonight.  The artist apparently requesrted they be reinstated, some guy named something like "Yo Mama", which is an odd name for an asian dude.

The FDA has given its authorization for the first Covid-19 breath test. The device, known as the InspectIR Covid-19 Breathalyzer, was granted emergency use authorization yesterday and can give results in less than three minutes. It is about the size of a piece of carry-on luggage and can be used in medical offices and mobile testing sites, the FDA said. The system works by separating and identifying chemical mixtures to detect five compounds associated with the virus. A study of the InspectIR Breathalyzer found it accurately identified more than 91% of positive samples and nearly 100% of negative samples.

That's some pretty slick technology.  Hopefully it can be tuned to the right formula when the next one comes around.

Getting ready to check out Key West today. Will report back on the restrictions in place.

This is definitely not Florida...

I'm surprised they could have found five compounds in our breath indicative of COVID, finding that was the feat here.  Once you know that, the rest is fairly 'easy'.

I cannot bear the cocktail straws that scrape my sinus cavities.
I heard on NPR enroute to work this a.m. that this equipment is expensive and not likely to be available at your neighborhood doctor's office. Perhaps it will be available in a hospital setting.
Positive tests have to be confirmed by PCR cocktail straw test, but negative tests do not have to be retested, is what I recall.

So some of the businesses had signs that masks were required - maybe 20% or so?

We just avoided those so our stay was pretty nice and normal. I was wrong in the above bolded statement, and the Key West website is very misleading (not at all surprising).

Now we'll see what the Bahamas look like. Will report back.

back when businesses had signs, folks would walk in w/o masks and no one even looked at them funny

I still wish I hadn't gotten of the ship in the bahamas

Don't need to be accosted by drug dealers.

I think for some of the cruising public, the ship could just go outside the 12 mile limit and sit.  It's like Golden Corral with an open bar and casino.

The food is better than GC in my experience, ha.

They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.
