Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[Jrb1979]

New York has almost the exact same numbers, except NY has way more daily deaths currently. I don’t understand why people think this can be controlled, 2 years and nothing has changed.

While you can't control Covid, you can slow down hospitalizations and death by getting vaccinated.

And by limiting unnecessary travel and exposure

And dare I say it? Wear a mask...

Aren't a half a billion home kits on their way?

And by limiting unnecessary travel and exposure

Better pack a lot of patience with travel plans and being in crowded airports if that is the case. A number of airline staff are reported to be calling out sick and resulting in flight cancellations.

Although cases are rising, hospitalization seems to be mostly incidental (meaning patient positive with Omicron but in for other reasons, not for Omicron) in Florida. The place with the lowest ICU covid percentage is Florida. Other places where the Delta wave was still going was higher. 8.0%

Current 7-day average for total hospitalizations in Florida (Covid or not) is around 184/100000. In winter 2018 (Pre-Covid, but a bad flu season), this ran around 193/100000.

One hospital system, Jackson Health in Miami (the largest there) is breaking out incidentals, right now 57% of covid patients are incidental (in with Covid, not for Covid)

 

[DisneyCane]

NJ - 35,000 new cases (PCR + Antigen).

Hospitals now topped last year’s peak. Hospitals again restricting visitors.

Yep, Omicron is no big deal. Freedom. Yay!

I'm guessing a lot of Delta still mixed in there.

Half a billionaire this week

While you can't control Covid, you can slow down hospitalizations and death by getting vaccinated.

Unfortunately the vaccination window for Omicron closed about two weeks ago.

Someone getting vaccinated today would take 2 weeks to get the benefit from the first shot and 6 weeks to get the full benefit from two shots, better than nothing but by then Omicron will likely be winding down.

There’s nothing a politician/government can do at this point to stop Omicron but cancel events and close businesses, which is extremely unlikely since it would be political suicide in probably 90% of the US right now.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Makes sense unfortunately. NJ largely avoided serious delta.

Since I’m “on the ground”…it’s quite simple and has been acknowledged: the political will to “mitigate” is gone…so we have put mother nature back behind the wheel. And she’s gonna have “fun, fun, fun” till daddy takes the T-Bird away

I'm guessing a lot of Delta still mixed in there.

On 12/20 the estimated it was probably about 52%…now it’s like 75% omicron.

 

[Disney Boater]

And dare I say it? Wear a mask...

N95, sure.
A cut up T shirt with straps, nope.

They all do something....
Lets not debate masks again it is settled

 

[Joesixtoe]

While you can't control Covid, you can slow down hospitalizations and death by getting vaccinated.

Correct you can't really control it.. and yes the vaccines will slow down Covid deaths and Covid hospitalizations. With this established, there should now be no more reason to segregate vaccinated and unvaccinated.

 

[EpcoTim]

Yeah, some of them don’t do enough and some of them make may make spread worse.

Remember this:

And now this:

Mayo Clinic asking patients and visitors to wear medical-grade masks in its facilities

Mayo Clinic said that it’s an effort to make sure a minimum standard is being met for face coverings.

I'm all for vaccine passports and have been since day 1.

the number of patients at my hospital shot up. was 75-78 last week, but it’s 119 as of tuesday. that’s a pretty big spike. i was told from a few nurses i know that a few medical floors are getting converted to hold covid patients again. this happened back in 2020 as well.
i was at target today & noticed that the cold medicine aisle was cleaned out. i’ll just assume it’s due to covid.
