Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[GoofGoof]

@GoofGoof , I agree with your post but have a question. You point out "5 weeks from shot 1 to be fully immune" (doubtful that everyone ends up fully immune, but I get what you meant). My question is, is no one receiving J&J at this time?

I think JnJ is at about 13M of the 164M fully vaccinated so people are still getting it but it’s not as popular. As @DisneyCane pointed out it’s 6 weeks for Moderna and only 2 for JnJ. As far as being fully immune, that’s in reference to when you are considered done with the vaccine. For things like CDC guidance and cruise lines and other places that mandate vaccination you aren’t considered done until 2 weeks after your final shot. That’s when you are considered fully immune.

I have to think J&J will be the shot of choice for those who were previously hesitant. Only one shot, only one opportunity to react, only one time to potentially take time from your life.

I would think the opposite given the concern about blood clots a few months back.

Confidence in the safety of the J&J vaccine is low following U.S. pause, Kaiser survey shows

Just 46% of respondents said they were at least somewhat confident in the J&J shot, compared with 69% who said the same about Pfizer's and Moderna's vaccines.

Only 1 time if you absolutely hate needles doesn't sound too bad. DHs boss passed out before he even got it.

My state, NJ as other northeast states, NY, and PA will have enough low cases by end of September or early October as federal mandate finally lifts masks by October/November as the booster vaccines are here to stop future variants.

IMHO the guidance that masks should be worn by all in areas with a high rate of spread will not change for quite some time

Not with all the bad press it has received.

I have one every day as a preventative measure

every day I feel fortunate that my Kinsa app tells me covid risk is low

Can some PA business owners fed ex several million authentic Philly cheesesteaks to the Sunshine State? FL needs all the help right now. Jersey Shore cheesesteaks are just as good too

I'm sure the guidance won't change. What will hopefully change is areas stop having a high rate of spread.

I know that obviously everyone involved in a trial is being closely monitored but I haven't heard any mention of other vaccinated people being monitored or tracked in the absence of needing to get tested. When I received my vaccination I was given a leaflet asking me to register with the CDC for monitoring of side effects following my vaccination and for following my status of covid infection into the future. I don't know how long they'll continue to monitor me, but initially I received daily surveys, eventually it changed to weekly, and now it's monthly. They contact me by text and have the option to call me for follow up info. I'm curious if others here had this same opportunity to contribute to the collection of vaccine information.

I participated in the follow-ups.

My wife and I both signed up and fill out the survey whenever we get a text.

It’s monthly I believe until 3 months, then you won’t hear from them until 6 months.

The CDC website has updated the data for Florida - indeed Florida has reported more cases today than any other previous day (that wasn't a data dump).

Flori-duh indeed.

The delta variant is easily defeated by soft pretzels and Yuengling Lager….there’s been no evidence cheese steaks do much but they taste good so we keep eatin em.

Yeungling lager is pure goodness.
They should sell it in The American Adventure.

yikes. I know disney made a cool announcement yesterday, but now is the time to take even more action. Again, parks were shut down COMPLETELY with lower case counts.

They don't need to shut down.

I'm not saying that, but they need to do something.

Yeah. I think the thing is we have solutions that don’t require shutting down the economy and we should use them. What Disney and other large companies are realizing is that wild spread of Covid hurts their business. The more they mandate shots the better off our economy is. People don’t want shut downs. Great. Arms out. There is absolutely zero reason to close anything. There is reason to require vaccines to go to entertainment venues, on airplanes, in schools and hospitals and elderly care facilities. No one should be dining out unvaxxed. It’s really dumb

or go back to distancing in the parks for now, lower capacity, etc. SOMETHING
