We could start by getting rid of the loopholes which exempts companies like Disney from having to disclose nutritional info on menus. Disney won't even supply carb info to diabetics who need that info to calculate insulin requirements
No apparently it doesn't. The delta wave rightly terrified a lot of people to get the shot. Numbers were going way up. Then all the mandates came out and numbers started to slump. The bast way to get someone to change their mind is not trying to force them.people were changing their minds on their own.
That wasn't a Taliban-inspired beard; facial hair was inspired by the Duck Dynasty family and the like at that time.
Looks the same either way. And its not a look most who try can pull off well.
Absolutely.
That is fine to do, but does that really address the issues we are having today with covid? Will Disney and other companies disclosing their nutritional information help to end this pandemic? I don’t have any problem with any efforts made to help people to be more healthy but when discussing it in a covid thread as a solution to the current problem it seems like it’s just a deflection away from actual plans to address the actual current issue.
I'm guessing that the big jump in deaths in one week was due to backfilled reporting. I'm also not sure how complete this data is on either deaths or hospitalizations. They say it's from 50 states and territories but they don't say which are missing. Like I said a few weeks ago, Orange County, FL reported 41 breakthrough deaths in one week. Through this report the CDC is reporting 3,654 in the entire country since the vaccines were made available. It just doesn't add up to me that one medium sized county would have over 1% of the total breakthrough deaths for the entire country in one week.
Did they also consider the vaccination rates both of the adults and children 12+ in the comparisons? Also were there any differences in other mitigations such as ventilation or reduced classroom density? It is likely that places with school mask mandates are also "taking the virus more seriously" and therefore there may be other variables at play.But but I heard it here that only a fitted N95 worn properly would work. Anything less is useless?
U.S. schools with mask requirements are seeing fewer outbreaks, the C.D.C. finds.
Arizona schools that did not require masks had 3.5 times as many outbreaks as those that mandated them.www.nytimes.com
Yeah, seems to be a preferred method for pushing vaccines.
Like Australia and New Zealand who keep locking down? No thank you. If WDW was in either of those countries it would still be closed.
Irrrelvent?
From anecdotal examples, this seems to have changed with Delta. With prior variants, it seemed that almost every younger person who died from COVID was either morbidly obese or had significant comorbidities. Recently, there are some who don't fit that profile. It's still the overwhelming majority but it seems Delta can cause more severe illness in mostly healthy, relatively fit people.
I think Norway can be added to the list as they just lifted all restrictions
I wonder what percentage who are forced to get vaccinated will opt for J&J. Anecdotal but it seems to be far less effective vs. Delta in preventing hospitalizations than the mRNA vaccines.
Joining in the stories here...
Norway has like 1/4 the population of FL. I don't think the comparison to the USA is really valid. Also, their seven day rolling average of cases is equivalent to around 2400 per day in FL which will be where FL is in a week or two if the trend continues. I don't think many on here will say that FL is handling the virus well.
Depends on when the booster gets approved. Their new trial of 2 doses was about on par woth the mRNA vaccines for infection and hospitalization. The bigger question is when/if they add the boosters to the mandates. I assume it happens but the timing is unknown and considerimg they are recommending the booster 6+months after the original doses that means someone getting vaccinated today isn’t fully covered until March.
Again, you are taking about going back in time and having people lose weight for the past year and a half. Unless you have a time machine that’s not happening. I‘m glad to see you are so concerned about the health of your neighbors. Too bad more people who are refusing a safe and effective vaccine don’t have that same concern.
