CA still on track to drop all Covid restrictions (including capacity limits on theme parks) by June 15. Governor says mask mandate will be gone by then too. Good news for DLR as they could be open to out of state visitors again and without distancing or mask requirements.

On the variant front, the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines still effective vs the new Indian variant. Although the variant is more resistant to the antibodies from the vaccine they were still able to neutralize the virus.

I was reading that earlier while waiting the 15 minutes at that clinic and that is promising. I know the vaccines they are using in India aren't what we see here though.On the variant front, the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines still effective vs the new Indian variant.

Also to comment about Ohio. The lottery and such is not bad at all to me. So I was not talking about that with my kid being vaccinated. Referring to the mask mandate dropping suddenly though I assume it means our numbers are good since we had a metric earlier to meet to drop. I'll find out more tomorrow I think.

Really good read on why it’s not as simple as assumimg that everyone who hasn’t been vaccinated is openly and actively resisting or hesitant. Quote from the story:
According to a new U.S. census estimate, some 30 million American adults who are open to getting a COVID vaccine have not yet managed to actually do so. Their ranks are larger than the hesitant — more than the 28 million who said they would probably or definitely not get vaccinated, and than the 16 million who said they were unsure.
We are 26M adults short of reaching 70% of adults and there are 30M people who say they are willing to get the vaccine but haven’t gotten around to it yet for various reasons. These people don’t need to be convinced the vaccine is safe or convinced that the virus is a real threat or convinced to change their political leanings. They just need to be convinced to make some time to get the vaccine. This is why the focus is changing on how to get people to come in. As convenient as the vaccines are now they probably need to get even more convenient. It may also pay off to pay these people off. Whether it’s cash incentives, rewards, lottery tickets, etc. Whatever it takes. This is why I’m confident we actually reach 70%+.

They Haven't Gotten a COVID Vaccine Yet. But They Aren't 'Hesitant' Either.
It had been weeks since Acy Grayson III, owner of Let It Shine, a home improvement outfit he runs out of his own home in the suburbs of Cleveland, had vowed to get a COVID vaccine. Appointments were available. But Grayson, who never knows how long a job will take or when a new one will come...

Ah... now Florida's response make sense. DeSantis heard that DeWine was planning on a lottery and thought it was a Shirley Jackson reference.

I'm actually wishing my kid would win one of the 4yr scholarships to an Ohio university. That actually would be worth a ton for me! Really and truly that's a fantastic way to get under 18 to vaccinate though.

The payments probably will work. But I’ll copy and paste this one favorite comment from the county clinic’s FB offering $50 to the first 400 people at tomorrow’s walk in (for which my 13yo son will be trying):Really good read on why it’s not as simple as assumimg that everyone who hasn’t been vaccinated is openly and actively resisting or hesitant.

“Its actually pretty insulting to think ppl will be more willing to be test rabbits if they get paid - anything for $$ I guess. - even sign away your health...wow - better get on board for that. Dont forget they have you sign a waiver 1st so they dont have to be responsible for any death or side effects.”
There are others not safe for WDWMagic. I wish there was a pill or ointment or something for stupid.

They have it in bottles at Wal-Mart now! Since I live in a Chik-fil-A desert you need a win every now and again.

Yeah I felt guilty after my kid had to eat his lunch in the car on the way over (school burger too, fries got cold) since we did not plan this right at all. So I offered a local place that does great strombolis and such for dinner. He took me up on that.It is a great idea.

Then again he knew long before, that he was getting it. Even that I would pull him from school if needed. He's pretty good about things.

I’m sorry but this does not sound like a fun place to visit right now or in the near future.

Not unless you plan on quickservice and antacids.
Well…. For quick service… you better order your lunch at 9 am, so that it’s ready on time.

From what I have read, and plan on doing when our park gauntlet starts on Friday... you have to pick your restaurant and mobile ordering time when you enter the park. If you wait until meal time, there may not be a time to select.
So yep, lots of fun.

That wasn’t our experience May 1-8. We ate at Satu’li, Flametree and ABC Commissary and had no problem getting immediate ordering windows.
