Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[Kevin_W]

There’s an audition notice for a trumpet player for the Main Street Philharmonic. Nice to see they are planned to return.

I'm sad one of the trumpeters has left - those guys are amazing. But I'm sure the group will still be top notch.

We have a clinic we found yesterday that was doing them. Slots were open for today. Hoping it works out in our favor.

Would you mind naming the clinic? My DD is scheduled for Friday morning, but a closer location than we found would be great.

 

[Minthorne]

You're right. It is silly. You can't control lightning.

Can’t you? I thought you were like Zeus!

But Covid spread would be decreased if the gondolas had air conditioning, right?

You jest, but our cultural over reliance on mechanical cooling has definitely shown to be a problem. We generally don’t build things with natural ventilation that allows the sort of large volumes of air exchange and dispersion that helps prevent transmission. Hopefully how we build has a change like it did 100 years ago, this time towards something that can also help with the environment.

As you suggest, COVID is not even close to one of the leading causes of death for those ages 0-17. In this age group, there are more deaths by:

• Motor Vehicle Accidents
• Suicide
• Gun Violence
• Homicide (other than firearms)
• Drowning
• Unintentional Suffocation
• Fire

If someone wants to save young lives, pick any one of these and do something about it.

For the elderly, we can save hundreds-of-thousands of lives by simply getting them vaccinated.

So by this logic, since more children die from motor vehicle accidents than by drowning we shouldn't bother with life vests on boats? We have the capability to do more than one thing.

...cause nobody gonna tell me
What to do!!!

keep ya damn government hands off my Medicare!!

Vaccination rates among Medicare age people are very high already.

 

[drizgirl]

I can’t believe how many Americans can’t do a simple 3 step logic puzzle.

1. Restrictions will be reduced when Covid cases fall.* (This has always been true since March 2020 and had been the basis of public health from the beginning)

2. The best tool we have to reduce cases in this country is to vaccinate as much and as quickly as possible.

3. If I want restrictions to end I should get vaccinated ASAP.

It’s not hard, it’s not complex, it’s elementary school level. However, a certain population seems incapable of being able to make this simple conclusion.

Except the ones we need to motivate are likely the ones who don't follow the guidelines anyway. Many of the ones wanting to push things forward have already been vaccinated.

 

[drizgirl]

it’s not the masks that I really advocate...it’s the distance. Sardine mentality is abnormal.

that’s not “socialization”...it’s just overpopuation/crowding
If people are more hesitant to try and stand in my shield perimeter?...that’s change I can believe in

Yet you enjoy Disney parks?

Thanks. We're scheduled at Children's Hospital downtown, but these would be more convenient.

that was a joke...

there was viral clip in 2010 of a woman screaming that at her congressman in Michigan or Illinois during the healthcare debate. She got round applause.

the point? A chain is only as strong as its 100,000,000 weakest links

...but never stand on the street in a mob looking at a show in the air they run minimum 365 days a year...

...there’s always a way.

Fixed it for you.

are you sure about that? After the last couple of years...i’m beginning to think people may only be able to manage one of the following:
1. Internet/apps on their phone
2. Weird talk radio
3: talking picture panel

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Fixed it for you.

...they might again.

but I saw it a month ago...no big thing. Attention shifted back to all day attractions...which is where it should be.

 

[correcaminos]

Thanks. We're scheduled at Children's Hospital downtown, but these would be more convenient.

Glad to help! I hadn't thought to check Children's, but other vaccine spots closer to home. I think that unless you live just south of Children's it's really not convenient to many. Too much construction near by too on my route. Though I'll keep that one in mind for others looking. They have slots tomorrow and Friday still.

I am on the wrong side of PA for you, but my county opened the appointments yesterday for 12+.

No, it means we shouldn’t shut down our economy (for example WDW continues to operate at limited capacity) because children drown or die in auto accidents.

You're taking two independent variables and trying to make them dependent on one another.

My sister said her kids got it at the (former?) J.C. Penny location at the King of Prussia mall. That's Montgomery County, isn't it? My geogrpahic memory of the region isn't as sharp as it once was.
