Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[Heppenheimer]

Yep I didn’t read every single post in this thread. I’m sure there were some.

Point being I don’t see anyone in the last several pages advocating (as in I wasn’t) not taking vaccines.

That said it’s up to the individual, I am however against forcing people to take it (a topic a few weeks back) and this is from someone who got his shots several months ago.

I'm against forcing it as well (except for certain areas of medical employment), but I am for using strong market-based incentives to encourage people to get vaccinated. Carrots and sticks.

It will be temporary, you are correct. The front line workers…grocery store employees..delivery people.. big box store employees that were open… all got praise and that big bump in pay, for a month or two and it went right back to the normal.
Our society is shocked by something that happens.. bands together to form a team.. then it quickly breaks down to everyone having different sides. Politics I believe is the major reason for it and I don’t have any reason to believe that it will change. I can continue to hope though.

Just want to let you know that not all front line workers got a bump in pay. My wife is a nurse at a major hospital in Massachusetts. She worked during the first March 2020 surge when their hospitals had over twice the number of Covid patients than at any time during the fall of 2020 or spring of 2021. Not only did her hospital not give any extra pay for that time, they also reclassified floating to other sections of the hospital for Covid as "reassignment" so they didn't have to pay the float differential. Oh, she did get a $10 dunkin donuts card though, if you want to count that. LOL

Arms out, fools

Come now, that was too predicable of a response from even you my friend

I'm having a moment of calm and resolve -- for goodness sake, let me hold onto it for another minute. I even edited the thread title!

But I was told everyone is doom and gloom and wants the pandemic and restrictions to continue forever, for some reason.

Obviously, that person needs a drink. Or at least a strong mocktail.

What pervert told you that?

In keeping with the positive nature of this thread, it has now been over 14 days since Memorial Day weekend with no significant increase in cases/hospitalizations or deaths. This bodes well for effectiveness of the vaccines (not that we didn't already know they were extremely effective) and for normalcy as a whole.

That is really good news! Way better than last years Memorial Day.

I believe NJ already did reach 70%.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

It's not heroin, why do you keep saying arms out? Maybe your vaccine is a bit different than most, but an injection above the bicep is not an arms out event.

National vaccination rate is 44.2%

How long rest of the states besides NJ and NY will reach 70% by end of the year soon

We are at 53% fully vaccinated and 63% first dose

unfortunately...we have been passed by some other states

[Figgy1]

That I don't know.

Good news out of Hudson County NJ this morning some walk in places still have lines down the block at opening. People finally are willing to wait if need be for their shots

76% of adults in NJ with one shot. That’s pretty good IMHO.
