Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[oceanbreeze77]

I took a moment to absorb what is happening, and its really sobering. I can't believe we are at this point again (I mean I can, but I can't, if you know what I mean). I'm just so sad.

Wow look at the giant UK spike!!

The must of had an overwhelming amount of deaths right?

What I'm surprised by is that people who received the vaccine thought it would be carte blanche to not have to wear masks or follow any kind of guidelines at all. Anyone who has been paying attention to this thing should have known that conditions can and will change and that mitigation strategies would change over time and possibly revert. Those who don't think that are in denial.

A lot of vaccinated people are acting like its a magic force field. I have some in my extended family and there's no explanation that will make them see it differently. I've tried, but ya know, science is tricky. At least they got vaccinated. There's that.

DEATHS ARE NOT THE ONLY BAD OUTCOME!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s a riot isn’t it?!

Perhaps humans should be more like animals and stop all medical intervention and science?
Just roam the earth free of capitalism, in the wild, living off the earth and dying as disease strikes.

Sounds like a plan.

It might be better than mitigation forever. Let nature take it's course.

How heavy are those goalposts you guys carry around?

Didn’t you say that pre-vaccines? I can do the research, or someone else can — because I’m fairly sure you did.

Also, it has to be remembered that there have been multiple reports at this time that the Delta variant does seem to be a bit more successful at infecting those fully vaccinated than originally thought. The vaccines are still very successful at preventing serious complications and hospitalizations, but people even fully vaccinated can still get the virus. I think there have also been multiple reports at this point stating that even fully vaccinated, with the new variant it is more easily transmitted to others. So with this information I would expect even highly vaccinated areas to still have higher rates of transmission, but probably lower hospitalization and death rates.

Yup. That's why I'm still masking up even though spread in our community is relatively low and no one else (besides my own sons) are.

Didn't Darwin already present this theory some time ago?

For what it’s worth.

In private meeting, DeSantis pushes against masks in schools

The discussion came a day before the CDC reversed course on mask guidelines in schools.

IF IT WASN'T FOR THE DEATHS THERE WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN MITIGATION TO BEGIN WITH ANYWHERE.

this is so wrong. wow.

3960 pages long. And no matter how they’re moved to stay up to date, the game keeps changing. Whoops!

......

What percentage of those people are vaccinated?

Because that’s exactly how much I care.

Not exactly. I said let people and businesses make their own risk assessments and act accordingly.

At this point, with vaccines able to protect against serious illness and death in those who want to protect themselves I support the rip off the band-aid approach and let the outbreak burn out naturally.

You are gonna get a response about deaths not being the only negative outcome.

edit: Oh, I am behind. You already did!

So, you should stop caring before it gets too overwhelming. If it isn’t already.
