Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[DisneyFan32]

It's a Newsweek article! Nuff said.

So a doomsday variant might not happen at all this year?

So a doomsday variant might not happen at all this year?

And we are all going to eventually become Zombies too.

Stop reading newsweek - it is a rag

 

[DisneyCane]

And we are all going to eventually become Zombies too.

Yes!

 

[Vegas Disney Fan]

And we are all going to eventually become Zombies too.

I thought most of us already were

 

[sullyinMT]

I thought most of us already were

Only 73.5% of US adults according to the latest update.

other projections I've seen aren't as bad

IHME | COVID-19 Projections

Thanks. The IHME model has pretty much sucked for 18 months now... but here's hoping they are right this time!

Edit to add: they don't have any data for the past week in that model, and the data for the past week has already been far worse than their projections. So it looks like their model is meeting my low expectations.

Where the Delta Wave Has Driven Up Covid-19 Vaccinations (Published 2021)

Vaccine uptake has risen from early-summer lows all over the United States, and the upswing is especially pronounced in places that have been hit the hardest by the pandemic’s fourth wave.

I think this was in Alabama. I wonder if their thoughts would change if COVID-19 knocked out several key Crimson Tide players.

Maybe, but then again we are usually 5 deep with good players (joke, don’t want anyone getting sick). Now, if you had to get vaccinated to tailgate or enter the stadium, you may have something. Friendly vaccinated Bama fan here. Roll Tide.

I guess at least we don't have to deal with the additional unhealthy foods taxes I guess. My county doesn't have a sales tax on food.
There's a restaurant in Bloomington that announced they are going to no-tip service and employees will start at $15/hr.

We had a place here that tried it when they opened and the servers ended up hating it. As was previously stated (and I'm sure this depends on the cost of dining at the establishment) the servers hated it because they ended up making less money at the end of the day.

Good

also. I wish the states were shaped like that. Would be much easier.

I cannot find the one that was between the two as well nor can I recall who did it and was fairly accurate ish given. We are vaccinating more than before. That's good at least. Though some classmates from HS are proving me right in that it seems some extreme far right people have weirdly turned anti-vax. They claim to love all but get offended when we say we vaccinate out of love. They live in more rural Ohio. Ugh. So hard to watch that.

Turns out it's a brewing company called Switchyard Brewing, that also serves pizza. Most expensive 16oz beer is $7, glass of wine $10. Pizza $20, but they can't currently serve food except curbside. It's a college town so probably has alot of business during school. Their reasons for changing aren't just so employees earn a steady paycheck.

When I was a little kid looking out of the window on a plane, I thought the farms were the States. I probably shouldn't have admitted that but I was 5 years old.

Look at the sign on bonuses being given to nurses now. That's just one example.

Dray,

I think you are from the area but Tropical Storm soon to be Hurricane Ida coming this Sun night / Mon morning is predicted to make landfall as a powerful Category 3 aiming for the Louisiana /Mississippi coast. I've gone through a Cat 3 and fared well but my house not so much. Even some of the gators and snakes even get displaced in a Cat 3 into the neighborhood. Be safe and prepare!

I am quite familiar with that sentiment. And have 2 in my family.

I'm up in NW Mississippi but thank you kindly for the thought. Much appreciated, friend.

I just learned my brother and sister-in-law are currently on a trip to Miami Beach... with their too-young-to-be-vaccinated kids. Not happy about this at all.

How long do bodies stay in morgues at the hospitals? Is it until transfer to a funeral home?

So many things this pandemic has had to make us think about.

Nothing to do with anything, but I do wish we would get to a point in the future where everyone chose cremation.

Funeral homes are running out of space to hold bodies, too, even for cremation.
