Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[correcaminos]

That brings up an interesting question. Before the pandemic, there were many places of business were face coverings were not permitted for security reasons. You couldn't, for example, walk into a bank with a mask on. The usefulness of security cameras, for instance, is significantly decreased if you cannot see someone's face. Once the pandemic is over, I wonder if businesses will continue to allow people to wear masks if they choose to do so, or if they will go back to the pre-pandemic rules of no face coverings.

Places that had security features often would require you to remove your mask for a shot on the camera of your face and then put it back on.

Johnson & Johnson vaccine partner Emergent still lacks FDA's manufacturing green light

Emergent BioSolutions has yet to win FDA authorization to produce Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine, putting a potential crimp in the company's supply pipeline. The CDMO, which is making drug substance for the shot, has been shipping millions of doses to Catalent for fill-finish, but those...

That’s some good information missing from a lot of the main stream media reports.

Not yet. Pfizer released results of their trial on 12-15 year olds but they still need to apply to have their EUA amended to go down from ages 16+ to ages 12+. It’s expected to take several weeks to get approval for the amendment and by that time most states will be open to the general population so in theory 12-15 year olds will be able to make appointments. They are only going to be eligible for Pfizer shots at first. Today in any state that is open to the general public that includes 16 and 17 year olds with Pfizer and 18+ for Moderna and JnJ.

I'm not ever going back to Disney World again. I just returned from being there. There was about a million people. And waits were upward an hour even at 9 am. What a complete joke that they were operating only at 35% Some gross person at Carousel Of Progress even blew one side of their nose when we were there. So completely disgusting!!!!

16 and 17 year olds are only eligible for the Pfizer vaccine (not the other 2) based on the original EUA. The new data released today will allow 12-15 year olds to get the Pfizer shot once they get the amendment approved by the FDA. Moderna and JnJ are still running their trials for 12-17 year olds.

And what social distancing. A million people crammed in line. So glad me and my wife had the vaccine. A corona hot spot.

Georgia has had 1458 average count of corona cases Florida one day were were there had 5K the previous day.

FL had over 5K cases in 9 of the last 14 days.

And it was almost like the corona virus had gone. What typically took us 7.5 hours to drive from Atlanta to Orlando took us 9. It seemed like the whole world was on vacation.

I’ve worked in a casino for a couple decades and surgical style masks have been fairly common for several years with Asian players. Full face coverings are not allowed but surgical style masks are allowed, at least where I work. As you said we’ll occasionally ask someone to pull the mask down, when verifying age with an ID for example, but I can’t see it being a problem if someone wants to continue wearing a mask after the mandates are gone.

France is way behind us on vaccinations, the US is at 44 doses given per 100 people, France is at 16.

I’d love to go to France again this fall/winter so I hope they get their vaccination numbers up quickly... looks like I may need a backup plan.
