Yes. Road Construction now would be a good idea.
But you know all those Council Workers huddle in groups and just stand around to milk the money.

Yeah, I have noticed from time to time about 5 people standing there leaning on shovels while they watch 1 person digging. Grin

I've worked many different jobs as many times as I have moved home (x26). Road Construction is one of them.

Good one - this is the end of cruise ships.
They are nothing but petri dishes for disease.
They will have to melt them down as scrap metal.

It’s not just cruise ships that a virus can spread, airplanes too, public places where people gather, eg: churches, concerts etc.

I have to admit, glad I wasn’t on any cruise ship since all this began!

But.... once we are all in the clear, I would still go on cruises, and planes.
It may be a while before it happens, even though in Australia we are going great guns, it’d overseas that are not going so well.
If we can open our own boarders to each other in Oz, and can travel within, I would be extremely happy.

Let’s aim for that much at least 👍🙏🏻

Cruise Ships are just the first 'casualty' of the Virus.
Being a Cruise Ship is no excuse for blame, as Hospital Ships can do it. Cruise Ships just need to add a bit more discipline when doing their business and take on more sanitary measures.

I think the Cruise Liner industry will recover as they did offer a great experience in the first place. They are just the first casualty and a good thing to kick because people haven't got the guts to kick China instead.

Cruise ships have been having problems with disease for a very long time.
They come into port - off load 3,000 or more passengers -
they are quickly cleaned -
then another 3,000 passengers board -
& off they go again the same day.

They can't possibly clean them properly &
clean all the aircon filters etc in such a short time.
Just a quick wipe over for 2 minutes in each cabin and off they go again spreading more disease.

You couldn't pay me enough money to go on a vacation in one of them.

Nonsense Bobby.
You never gone on a cruise yet you say it’s full of disease? 😆😆
Funny that, an armchair expert.🤔
We have never had any problems with diseases on ships in the last 10 years of our cruising.
In fact, every day the cabins are cleaned out and beds made.
It is so clean, well maintained. We feel well treated with great respect.
The crew are meticulous and dedicated.
Have done ship tours, from the kitchens to the captains bridge.

I have no complaints.

they have outbreaks of gastro and flu all the time.

I'm glad you've never had any problems.

However, infections on cruise ships have always been a big issue.

It's why I've never been on one (and never will).

"The majority of cruise ship infections involve respiratory and gastrointestinal infections. This article discusses infectious outbreaks on cruise ships and suggests preventative measures for passengers who plan to travel on cruise ships."

Which reminds me, I don’t drink myself stupid on a cruise like many do, eat too much, drink way too much, lounge about like dead dogs decomposing in the sun 😆
Nothing exceeds like excess right? Enough to tax the immune system and if people get the trots or sniffles, well don’t look at the rest of us that know what moderation is.
I do my healthy brekky thing on cruises/holidays (either a hard boiled egg on toast, or porridge) with a fruit juice.
Oh yeah, restraint is really challenged!
Then I walk all over the ship, taking zillions of photos etc.

There are a lot of healthy people running or power walking around specific decks and I do the walk. Sunshine, fresh ocean breeze, it’s beautiful.

Of course there’s the shopping on board too 👍👌
Here’s a meme of the young ones after the night clubbing on board (and yes I go to them too, my fave one was the “silent disco” where you see everyone dancing and it’s quiet, they have headphones on, with 2 channels of music to suit.

Well who has the unprotected sex then? I don’t see signs on board saying fck all you like, forget the frangers, be freer. 😏
If a person is that way inclined on board ship, would they not be inclined off shore also? We all take our habits with us, if you fck around anyway, then why blame a cruise?
It all comes down to moral issues. Of course being drunk all the time makes it easier, people need to keep their wits about them, no matter where they go. That goes for older folk as well as the younger ones.
Stupid is as stupid does.
