Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

I’m guessing the partiers are not the sort to be concerned about wearing a mask in a hotel room.

Different kind of masks?

Perhaps the mask that some wear when they like to act out. What happens in Vegas, stays in Sin City Vegas, the adult MK Fantasyland.

Fauci says ‘full-blown’ COVID-19 pandemic is almost over in US

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the chief medical adviser for President Biden, said in an interview published Tuesday that the U.S. is almost past the “full-blown” pandemic phase of the coronavirus and said he hopes that all virus-related restrictions could wind down in a few months.

So we have to assume that the end of the full blown pandemic is nowhere in sight, because we all know Fauci lies about everything.

You beat me to it. I was going to say are we now believing him?

Are we losing faith?

More like if one assumes he has been misleading people to maintain maximum fear, if even he says it's coming to a close, it might be worth considering.

In real science and those that are educated experts in epidemiology?? Nope.

Posts like this are both extremely sad and funny at the same time.

I'm sure you will be OK

Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters.

I posted it without comment so people can read it. Everyone is free to make up their own minds about how to take these particular thoughts from him. He is still the face of the pandemic in the US, whether I like it or not.

You know, one could turn that around. Everything Fauci says is taken at face value and revered. And NOW people don't want to believe him?

Don't you like it when that happens?

If you don't infer a position on an article, people are ready and willing to infer your position for you.

One positive test and your Olympic dreams are over. Many who had medal hopes couldn't participate, or, once there, removed from competition.

I wouldn't blame them if they used full astronaut helmets.

Zhou, an American contender for medaling at Men's Figure Skating (he even beat Chen at one pre-Olympic event) had to withdraw from competition due to a positive test after helping the U.S. Team win a Silver at the Team Figure Skating competition. No individual Olympic medal for him thanks to COVID.

And the numbers of withdrawals keep rising.

Not surprising. When it comes to transmission, omicron is a punk. Sad for him.

I'm so glad that they are keeping people who are COVID positive from skating around by themselves in the middle of an ice skating rink. Everyone is so much safer now that we've ruined some Olympic dreams that people have worked their whole lives for.

What I will expect to happen is that people will ignore the “full-blown” in his statement. So when he talks about the state of the pandemic and the need to take certain precautions during the expected rise in cases again in winter… people will insist he told us in February that we were approaching the end of the pandemic entirely. And how dare he mislead people into thinking it was all over.

Don't forget the "in a few months" part too. It'll be that he said it in February and so it's now.

So, same old same old. People will use whatever is said to create the narrative they want, no matter what nuance was actually said.

I don't have too much of an issue with these latest comments (kind of more of the same and aligned with what is the overall feeling for most). But he could potentially avoid your expectation by being more precise with his language and staying away from too many predictions. As I have said previously, the damage has been done with him though and there is a clear lack of distrust by many. This means everything he says will get significantly scrutinized. Also why I said we should have had a new face/spokesperson long ago.

Yes, because we all know the competitors are magically teleported from their room to the middle of the rink so they don't come into contact with anyone else.
