Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[ImperfectPixie]

@ImperfectPixie by fall/winter comes will be back to normal with normal events like HHN, WDW Halloween event, Fright Fest (Six Flags parks), Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, etc...with no masks and social distancing anymore?

We just don't know yet. But we can keep hoping!

Which begs the question why we haven't heard a peep from the FDA in ~4 weeks since Pfizer submitted for 12-15 year-olds.

Edit to add, Yahoo says possibly this week. So here's holding out hope.

Hopeful, but none of the news agencies that I've checked reporting this have given a source. Nothing listed on the FDA's website.

not looking good. People are refusing to take it...because of political stupidity and the ramblings of buffoons.

it’s a fact...not a “debate”

What really gets me is the continued ramblings.

Move your arm around a lot and hydrate!

I don't mind a sore arm; just don't want the fever/chills/aches my dad got.

it’s “the power of dumb” syndrome. Empowering the less equipped because you can manipulate them for power. It’s been building for at least 30 years....

you NEVER give up...keep doubling down. Never “wrong” because that’s not an option

I'm afraid about next year COVID-19 will get worse again, is that really gonna happen or not next year.

I think we have a chance to still get this more under control...but we could still have effects that have to be handled. I don’t think we will have as many issues as 2020...but may not be doing enough to get back to 2019

I hear ya there. The flu shot knocked me on my butt last year...I'm praying my 2nd dose doesn't do that.

Yup. I totally get that.

Those using it during a world-wide pandemic should be jailed.

Fixed that for you. We were never doing enough, unfortunately.

Probably we might go back to normal to 2019 levels maybe as we will herd immunity more.

We have tools to keep things from getting super bad again.

I like your positive outlook on this, but, that's not was generates mouse clicks, so I'm absolutely certain articles like this will dominate the next news cycle. As doom and gloom sells.
Reaching 'herd immunity' is unlikely in the U.S.

Yeah, you are preaching to the choir here. The doom and gloom crowd absolutely loves to point out that we can’t or won’t reach herd immunity now even though nobody anywhere actually knows what level of immunity is really needed. It’s great click bait to say that and then quote an “expert”. The headline is the clickbait but when you read further what’s buried in there is the quote from Fauci that people seem to forget.

“People were getting confused and thinking you’re never going to get the infections down until you reach this mystical level of herd immunity, whatever that number is,” he said. “That’s why we stopped using herd immunity in the classic sense,” he added. “I’m saying: Forget that for a second. You vaccinate enough people, the infections are going to go down.”

So as I keep pointing out, we don’t need to wait for full herd immunity to see cases drop and to roll back mitigation efforts. The 7 day daily average in the US is the lowest it has been since the first week of October. We are still above the levels we hit in early Fall, but the cases are falling now in the majority of states. The curve is turning down and as we get more people vaccinated that should continue.

So much of what people told him are their reasons is just garbage.
