Not sure if this survey has been posted today here. It looks like people who are not following the vaccine approval process are most likely to not get vaccinated.
Many remain doubtful about getting COVID-19 vaccine - AP-NORC
Few have much confidence in the safety of a COVID vaccine or about whether its distribution will be equitable.apnorc.org
The process has been tainted...don’t spend too much time attempting to figure out why?

If we extrapolate cases to the previous relatively steady state in the early fall (now at a 5.25X Multiple and climbing), seeing 4k deaths a day seems almost certain (when deaths catch up to the current case burden) and perhaps a few isolated days with 5k deaths are already possible.
3 thousand is very quickly going to be considered low.
I truly hope California has effective measures, because on a sheer population scale that is the state most headed for shocking numbers right now. If it was its own country, number one for cases today would be the US, then Brazil, then California.

There is a ton of tension here right now. A lot of "patriots fighting back," this was a bar on a Monday night, when our restrictions went into place, and our sheriffs won't do anything

That sheriff is wrong and causing a dangerous situation. He should step down. Respect his opinion...but not as a public rep.

But we know that closing businesses and stay-at-home orders save lives. It’s a fact.
I just can’t understand why this is such a debated thing... it’s literally like when Ignaz Semmelweis couldn’t get Doctors to wash their hands!!!!

Have you read the Disneyland threads? What’s more amazing is that no place prioritizing the economy seems to be having any success in doing that.

Ill say one thing, Disney looks real bad around here right now because Newsom was 100% right. I mean imagine if they had opened and then re-closed right away.

Especially with restaurants when you can literally buy the same exact food cooked by the same exact person and take it home with you to eat. It’s not like the business is even shut down, just the tables. If people cared sooooo deeply about the economy and the fate of small businesses they would continue to patronize them as much or even patronize them more with takeout to help them stay afloat. The truth is people just want to do what they want to do and won’t be told no. It’s a pure lack of self control.

Walt Disney World opened during Florida’s summer surge.

yeah but that's Florida. We have dumb Californians, but Florida is Florida. California is a blue state that believes in science and florida chose to make it political. Yes, spread is occurring from house parties and outings, but sadly, most of the spread comes from frontline essential positions. The communities hit hardest right now are made up of retail employees, minimum wage jobs, and blue collar workers. Of course CA is not going to open Disneyland.

Dictators control populations. Desantis is the opposite allowing maximum freedom. Call him what you want but a "dictator" he is not.

Do you have a link to the contact tracing studies that show that most of the spread comes from frontline essential positions? I know it is anecdotal but none of the places I frequent have had any issues with employees getting COVID. My neighbors daughter works at a nearby Publix supermarket and they haven't had issues among the employees. I live in Broward County, FL which has been a hot spot for most of the pandemic.
If WDW frontline cast was getting infected in large numbers, I'm sure word would be out by now.

Dictators say what THEY want you to do to maintain power. The idea that there is only one way to accomplish that is a little 1940ish in the digital world. It’s been playing in real time.

They’re fools...and the “we have to save the economy!!!” Are hoaxers/liars.
I’ll never be convinced Disney wanted to open on Anaheim...that looks like an inside job with some politics that I bet both sides knew was coming beforehand.
Flor-I-dUH
...but remember that Florida opened without their out of state/country tourists and most aren’t back...they probably lost a good chunk of their snowbirds too...
Long story short: what state has had far LESS people in it to spread than under normal circumstances than Florida?
Only Hawaii is in that conversation.
