News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

[legwand77]

To add to this what I really want is vaccine mandates.

We’re beyond the point we should be putting up with anyone not doing the sensible thing for the benefit of all.

Any theme park or entertainment venue should require proof of vaccination.

Of course, the anti-mask crowd will also oppose this, but I’m more than over caring about what they believe.

Of course this will never happen in Florida.

Masks continue to be used, not because any of us love them, but because way too many people are refusing to do their part to end this.

vaccine mandates are pointless now that we are finding out vaccinated can spread covid the same as unvaccinated.

Vaccinated People Also Spread the Delta Variant, Yearlong Study Shows

People inoculated against Covid-19 are just as likely to spread the delta variant of the virus to contacts in their household as those who haven’t had shots, according to new research.

Speaking of the vaccines...good news for kids:

Kinda my point, vague endpoints, when is herd immunity?

When enough people have antibodies for this virus that it isn’t able to spread as easily and continue evolving.

 

[mkt]

And do you think that is possible?

Not until people stop thinking of “me” and think of “we”.

When enough people have antibodies for this virus that it isn’t able to spread as easily and continue evolving.

That is absolutely NOT the epidemiological definition of "herd immunity."

That's the whole idea. If you are going to release a policy that may be frowned upon by some. You "bury it" with a late in the day Friday drop.

Bury it is right on a Friday. Some start their weekend early and perhaps don't get word of it until Monday.

Probably the signage guys are busy making the " New " signs and not finished yet.

 

[DisneyCane]

Last time they announced it late on Friday and it took effect the following Tuesday.

I’m not sure the logic in burying an announcement that should be well received by the majority.

Disney doesn’t want publicity in any way linked toward the pandemic.

Polling has shown that the majority support masks.

Polling has shown that the majority support masks.

I think support of masks is highly dependent on where you live in the country.

 

[HairyChest]

They won’t want to announce a mask mandate change while most of the parks are open with guests. It can create issues with enforcement.

Polling has shown that the majority support masks.

Was that a poll of people who choose to visit a theme park during the pandemic? I suspect the guests at WDW will receive the news very warmly.
