Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[GoofGoof]

It looks like nationally cases are starting to continue the downward trend again. The 7 day moving average had a little blip back up but it has turned back downward again. I still think we are month or 2 away from seeing significant impact from vaccines but it’s good if the trend continues down.

CNN thinks we will reach herd immunity at some point in the summer...

I would allow myself to stuck on its a small world with a repeat loop of music for 24hrs if we can be mask free and most if not everything close to normal again by October 1

2.9 MILLION DOSES ADMINISTRED. WE'RE ALMOST TO 3 MILLION!!!!!

The Pineapple Promenade kiosk at Epcot's Flower and Garden Festival has a Dole Whip topped with Parrot Bay Coconut Rum that's out of this world. We're going 8 weeks from today (not that I'm counting or anything) - I think I'll have two to make up for last May.

Cheers! I'll lift a few for your continued health in 6 weeks as our Flower and Garden outing last year was canceled as well.

If that pace continued through the end of April we would have 250M doses administered by the time we hit 100 days in office for Biden. 2.5 times the original goal set

That‘s also enough doses for 150M people to be fully vaccinated or 60% of all adults. We just need to keep going.

Any chances they release any exciting news at the shareholders meeting? Show returns?

It’s possible they do give an update. I would think they would mostly focus on revenue generation so something like a plan to expand capacity or open additional resorts at WDW is also possible. I’m sure they will highlight the re-opening plans of DLR since that’s a pretty big deal.

Speaking of the last sentence... did yesterday's news come as a surprise to team Disney, or have they been quietly already making plans behind the scenes?

I assume both. They have plans I’m sure and they have been working with the government so I’m sure they had some idea it might be coming. They also have about 3 weeks to ramp up again. They already ramped up once this summer when the re-opening was cancelled.

Got more fantastic news. Biden now says vaccines will be widely available by the MIDDLE of May.

 

[Patcheslee]

Is there a reliable link for percentage of each age group that's been fully vaccinated and population count in each? I'm seeing a bit of irregularity in mine. i.e. 65-74 age group is over 50% vaccinated, but the older two groups in FL are a good 5% behind.

First day under 5% without some crazy negative result data dump in many months yesterday!

This is good news. I wonder if we will have enough people and places to administer it to everyone who wants it though. Hope so

Again with the news of vaccines being closer every day, I can see more and more a maskless 50th on October 1st. Not saying its a guarantee, but with the rate of vaccines and availability moving up, Disney should have a plan for a big event

Wouldn’t a walk down MainStreet mask less be exactly what we all need about now? We can hope!

Amen. I will need my sunglasses though since it will definitely bring a tear to my eye

Oh absolutely. I'd love to be WALKING RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE OF MAIN STREET USAAYYYY maskless with the dapper dans not on the train station distanced and right by the Emporium waiting for FOF to start at 3 o'clock. Obviously, that won't be possible for a while and I've had to accept that. But I've waited for a moment like the 50th for so long that I'm determined to be optimistic it'll be spectacular.
