Cancer is not a single disease with a single cause. COVID-19 is. There wasn't a flood of cancer patients overwhelming hospitals last year that required emergency action to stem. There was for COVID-19.
Wait, they've giving the infusion without proof of a positive test? If so... that is absolutely insane.
Nothing about cruising right now seems appealing.
My father died of a brain tumor when I was 24 years old. He was 47.
It's not a DCL rule. The Bahamas won't let a ship enter the Bahamas, including private islands, unless passengers 12 and over are vaccinated. Disney has nothing to do with the policy. They are making sure pax are acceptable to the BahamasIn a nutshell, if these sailings leave out of Florida, why can't Disney do the same for the parks?
So we shouldn’t have done much of anything to respond to covid? We wasted time and money on the vaccine? Just let covid rip since cancer exists? I am not following your logic.
In a nutshell
That's an awesome benefit. I thought my employer allowing 3 vacation days for anything vaccination related for anyone in your family was good. (Need a day, because your uncle needs support, take it. It's a very broad definition of what counts.)
Quick googling from the cancer reasearch foundation and government agencies I see in 2018, 5.94 billion was spent on cancer research. Can’t find anything after that but I’m guessing it’s increased. That’s one year.
I think we're going to see more of this. Just like personal vacations this year tended to favor drivable destinations. Personal vacations are easier to change quickly. Last year, all those business functions dropped. Now, they're starting to come back, and I think they're going to hedge against the transmission levels in different areas. We're still seeing stuff being cancelled or going virtual this year as lead times are long enough that decisions need to be made early. Planning the next business event, eliminating cancellation risk based on transmission levels is going to be a bigger and bigger thing.
Sorry, that was me. I was at that Boo Bash.
That’s why, contrary to normal after hours advice, I think we entered around 7:30, wandered a bit and got to our 8:50 ADR at Skipper Canteen a little early. So we mostly avoided the “double” crowds and enjoyed a nice meal that kept us full for the night.
As to the rest: we drove, avoiding a plane. We stayed in a Ft Wilderness cabin, avoiding hallway hotel foot traffic (and noise! Bonus!)
We found folks were more mask compliant than not, except for the under nose people, and some who just looked oblivious, acting like we are not in a pandemic. Most were respectful and kept a reasonable distance. I never even had to give anyone “the look,” although I did feel the need to get away from some.
Most attractions were walk-ons or close to it. Even Smugglers said 20 minutes and was nowhere near it. There were brief moments in tight queues or the stretching room at HM where I wanted to hold my breath, but overall it was fine. Table service restaurants were either decently spread out (Topolino’s) or had dividers between booths (Brown Derby.)
It was all good, fairly empty, and I’ve been home for 2 days and seem to be fine.
Very little besides an ocean breeze on a balcony. And that’s not worth the price and risk of entry, IMO. But, at least DCL has finally standardized the fleet (I think the Magic UK sailings are still only for fully-vaxxed age eligible, right?).
I was pleasantly surprised by the mask compliance and lack of drama over the rule. People seemed to just accept it for the most part except that one night. We did HM as a walk on so the stretching room had about a dozen people in it total and we could spread out. The same with ToT where it was 6 of us and 4 other people in the pre-show. We did Smugglers Run about half a dozen times and never waited more than 10 mins. 1 of our rides the pre-show was shut down. Crazy empty.Sorry, that was me. I was at that Boo Bash.

It's like a movie. There's plausible deniability. That's good enough.
we’re probably canceling our late october trip too, unfortunately. granted the crowds are low right now, but i think they’ll probably pick up with the 50th anniversary celebration starting soon.
USA will have COVID largely under control by next year. I hope.
Not sure. There is a standing order from the FL Surgeon General that states that patients can receive this treatment without a prescription or referral
