Meanwhile, the Cruise Lines International Association \u2014 a trade group that represents all three firms \u2014 issued a statement arguing that the CDC is unfairly targeting the industry.<\/p>\n<p>The group\u2019s statement, as The Wall Street Journal recorded, said that \u201ccases identified on cruise ships consistently make up a very slim minority of the total population onboard \u2014 far fewer than on land \u2014 and the majority of those cases are asymptomatic or mild in nature, posing little to no burden on medical resources onboard or onshore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile we are disappointed and disagree with the decision to single out the cruise industry \u2014 an industry that continues to go above and beyond compared to other sectors \u2014 CLIA and our ocean-going cruise line members remain committed to working collaboratively with the CDC in the interest of public health and safety,\u201d the statement continued.<\/p>\n<p>The CDC\u2019s strict guidelines for cruise ships come as airlines cancel thousands of flights amid labor shortages. For instance, JetBlue nixed 1,280 flights between December 30 and January 13.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have seen a surge in the number of sick calls from Omicron,\u201d a JetBlue spokesman said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/jet-stream-adds-to-airline-challenges-as-flight-cancellations-continue-11640810810?mod=article_inline\">The Wall Street Journal<\/a>. \u201cWe entered the holiday season with the highest staffing levels we\u2019ve had since the pandemic began and are using all resources available to cover our staffing needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis past week has been one of our most difficult operating periods during the pandemic,\u201d three JetBlue department leaders wrote on Tuesday in a note to staff seen by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/12\/30\/jetblue-cuts-flights-through-mid-january-expecting-more-omicron-covid-sick-calls.html\">CNBC<\/a>. \u201cThe exponential growth in Omicron cases over just a couple of days is at a level that no one could reasonably prepare for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is fighting Joe Biden\u2019s vaccine mandate in federal court.
