Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[DisneyFan32]

While it will never “go away” (just like all other coronaviruses on the planet) it will be mitigated and become something we live with.

USF researchers: Florida to reach COVID-19 peak surge next week, herd immunity Sept. 11

Researchers said shortly after reaching that peak in new cases on August 24, the number of people who either have been infected or have COVID-19 resistance will reach 90%, which means Florida will reach herd immunity.

Is COVID-19 will keep getting worse every year?

Is COVID-19 will keep getting worse every year?

Highly unlikely. Especially as more people get vaccinated and therapeutics become more accessible and easy to administer. Don’t forget that the flu strain that caused the 1918 flu outbreak still circulates today but we are much better conditioned to handle it.

We can live with anything - you literally have no choice. But it's the way of life has changed that really depresses me - can't travel (Europe is still banned from America), horrific rates still being recorded, the fear and anxiety of going places, etc it's just no normality.

Your link is also behind a regional wall, can't be read in Europe

We were saying this spring that the end was in sight. But here we are approaching the fall and it's still here - the virus got worst, much worst with the new variant.

I find it interesting that several weeks ago I predicted the peak in FL would be 8/21 +/- a few days using an excel spreadsheet and 5 minutes of analysis and now real scientists have basically reached the same conclusion using advanced computer simulation.

I didn't go as far as projecting a herd immunity date because I don't have the data to estimate how many of the unvaccinated have actually been infected. I hope they are correct about the herd immunity part.

Scientists in the UK are saying there is no such thing as Herd immunity.

There's ignorance than can be innocent from simple lack of knowledge. And then there's almost malignantly willful ignorance. I think this is an example of the latter:

Health officials warn people not to take a drug meant for livestock to ward off or treat Covid-19 | CNN

Mississippi health officials are warning residents not to take an anti-parasitic drug -- in most cases, a formulation purchased at livestock supply centers -- to treat or prevent Covid-19.

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with these people?

 

[The Mrs]

Having one of those days when i feel utterly down by the whole situation.

Covid is not going to go away anytime soon is it ?

I feel you. Hang in there. I know it's hard some days.

There was a poster in this thread several days ago saying that she had covid and an anti parasitic drug was one of the things her doctor told her to take.

This helps thin out the herd. If people are stupid enough to take a drug from livestock stores then more power to the idiots.

If that's the case then COVID will be around forever and it will be everybody's choice to keep taking or not taking the pre-exposure prophylactic injections (aka vaccines) in order to minimize the chance of having a serious case.

 

[GoofGoof]

It’s not the case. We just need a lot more people vaccinated.

I would consider them victims of malignantly wilful disinformation:

Why does Tucker want his followers sick or dead?

 

[Disney Analyst]

Well this could be an interesting development for my province.

Not everyone is a victim. At some point, people must be held accountable for the information they believe and the decisions they make.

Won’t take an emergency authorized vaccine. Will self medicate with cow pills.

Florida's combined Thursday and Friday about 46 and a half thousand.

The misinformation being broadcast over the airwaves or TV, they all must be held accountable, no matter what the news source it is. Information that is not factual and pushed by certain people, again, whatever channel you are watching, needs to be stopped. Doesn’t help any situation from vaccines to Afghanistan to whatever. Facts are facts.
