I see there are 50 cases on one ship now. Know a lady that went on one a month ago and had to be double checked and prove she had the vaccine. So most those, most likely had the vaccine.

Have patience, my friends.

It's happened many times. Some news item comes up and the markets react but dropping. Within a week to 10 days, they're usually back to where they were and moving upwards.

It always happens. Look at the total numbers of the markets.

European markets opened lower on Monday morning as governments around the world introduce new restrictions to curb the spread of the Omicron variant.

In London, the FTSE 100 (^FTSE) plunged 1.7%, while the French CAC (^FCHI) tumbled almost 2%. The DAX (^GDAXI) was down 0.7% in Germany.
