Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[DisneyCane]

If we get to people to behavior to ending the pandemic by next year in the world as we will have a huge victory to put this pandemic to end!

Behavior doesn't have much to do with it. It will end when enough people are either vaccinated or infected.

Behavior doesn't have much to do with it. It will end when enough people are either vaccinated or infected.

The implication is that if enough people modified their behavior and got vaccinated, we could be done with this in less then 2 months.

However since they won’t the rest of us have to suffer until Covid has burned through the unvaccinated.

I’ve been away from this thread for several months. This post makes me realize I haven’t missed anything at all.

Perhaps more monetary, food and drink, marijuana incentives , advised of job termination if not vaccinated , etc may encourage more to roll up their sleeves.

Getting vaccinated is a behavior, so behavior matters a lot.

Absolute filthy, sewer-dwelling scum who would use that woman's tragedy for misinformation.

But hey, America, keep making yourself feel smart by "doing your own research".

Disgusting and heartbreaking they did that to that woman. Pregnancy loss is hard enough as it is!

The other two were bad enough, but hers just tugged at me.

Its truly despicable.

And it stood out even more so for me as it was so early in the vaccine effort, and to this day people aren’t getting the vaccine out of fear of miscarriage or sterility… when the fact is people have taken others tragedy and twisted it to fit their agenda and message.

What kind of a--h-- screams at school employees like this over having to pick up his kid due to being a close contact of someone who tested positive for COVID-19??? People like this guy are doing everything in their power to extend this pandemic and they don't even realize it.

Dad screams at N.J. school staff, initially refuses to take son home after COVID close contact, cops say

The Beachwood dad refused to take custody of his son until a school-assigned police officer said the Division of Child Protection and Permanency would be called.

They know. They don't care, as long as they aren't inconvienced.

Exactly. The last two years have helped show just how much the public relies on Public School as a babysitter. It is not.

 

[seascape]

According to the Sentinel Florida is down to an average daily rate of 3403 or under 16 cases per 100k.

It is daycare allowing the parent to work.
We went from a one income family being enough to needing two incomes to raise a family.
We went to needing more and more when enough would do
We went from a majority of married couples with children together to many single parents raising children
It absolutely is a babysitter/daycare today allowing many to maintain income for the family.

Are they supposed to keep a babysitter on retainer when the kids are in school?

Is it supposed to be some sort of selfish indulgence for mothers of school age kids to work?

I keep hearing this and for the life of this I don’t get it.

It becomes a perk, but my point was that is not the purpose of the educational facility. If you have to gripe about your kid being sent home from exposure to a serious illness, you are relying on it being a babysitter.

You are responsible for your children's supervision when they are not able to attend school for safety.

My dad was a single parent after my mother died when I was four. He understood and we lived within our means. You can make it happen. Of course scheduling is easier, but if your kid cannot be in school for health or behavior, it is not the school's job to figure out a cause for guardianship during those hours.

Fair enough

Ok..after 2 weeks in the parks I can say masks adherence indoors are depending on castmember supervision.

In shops 99% (with the occasional nose out)
In attraction queues 95% (goes down the further the last castmember "checkpoint" is away)
On rides 85% ... (as soon as castmembers are out of view many masks drop)
Washrooms or arcades 25% (obviously no castmembers around)


So overall like with dogs or little children ..if you leave the room...rules go out the window

Didn't see the Florida weekly report mentioned, but it's down to 25792 new cases for the week (drop of 12k from week prior) or about 3785 a day avg. (And falling) Positivity is below 5% statewide at 4.8%. (last week was 6.6%)

Day cares aren't responsible for care of your children if they can't attend day care for the day. Kids are sent home from day care and babysitters just as they are sent home from schools. Schools are no different.

Are there entitled difficult parents? Of course. But I have seen so much generalization about this since the pandemic started that it's quite alarming. Of course parents use school for babysitting. I don't know a single person who kept a day care spot once school started. It's kind of a silly notion.

LOTS of people are making tough decisions on this these days. It's why so many women left the work force when the pandemic hit. It's why 18 months in, women actually lost jobs in the September jobs report. Their participation in the work force is way down. It's very alarming.
