It makes lots of sense. They can't charge you a parking fee if you don't have a car and used the bus, but this way they can charger you every night you are there letting your rental car just gather dust in the parking lot of the resort. My guess is they decided they made more from the parking...

School going back to normal at this point would be a mistake. My daughters school went back to normal at the beginning of the school year (quasi normal with masks and social distancing) and the result was so bad that prior to Thanksgiving half the schools in the district had reverted to...

The reality is the vaccine test subjects were only given the vaccines in the summer so there hasn't been anyway to even check for the presence of antibodies in someone 6 months after they were vaccinated.

Then why is the expectation of immunity gained from actually having the virus assumed to be fleeting after 6 months?

Did they also have a counter of adverse reactions from the vaccine?

One of the biggest issues is there is no indication of how long the vaccine would be effective. With something like measles the vaccines last a very long time which is precisely what happens if you don't have the measles vaccine and simply have the measles, either vaccinated or contracting the...

Given that as far as I know none of the vaccines are approved for those under 16 we will have a perpetual spread of the virus from the kids and in a place like Disney that is targeting kids the problem become even worse. A vaccine might eliminate the problem in nursing homes where kids are a...

Should certain groups of people have to wear yellow stars? This is beyond a slippery slope it is flat out wrong.

I think you can expect this type of thing to be a bad idea long-term. 1) the vaccine isn't 100% effective so even if everyone that showed up had been vaccinated a large group of people standing elbow to elbow is going to be spreading the virus. 2) people will fake the system, some will do it...

I think our state was projecting June or July as the time when everyone that wanted a vaccination would be able to get one. Of course the bigger issue is that everyone is assuming the vaccination will prove to be safe and effective when given to the population at large... it may be, but it may...

Repeatability is based on how long I've been walking, how hot it is and then whether there is a short line, a reasonable amount of ride time sitting down and whether I'll be in a cool air conditioned ride or in something hot in the sun... So while I would have to be paid to sit through the Tiki...

Of course now the Danish study that actually tested mask in a random study on the virus found no benefit. So now who will governments believe this time?

Pfizer had all the control in the world on when those announcements were made. The CEO can control when any announcements are made by Pfizer and certainly has complete control over the employees at Pfizer that were trumpeting the vaccine like carnival barkers in early November. There was no...

Yep, I experienced the pain of being locked out for 6 months once... the annoying thing for a lot of people in the group is that it was all because a part of the group was working on a merger but the majority of us weren't involved and didn't even know it was going on.. we just got caught in the...

Frankly I'm baffled that the company allows officers to trade outside very specific windows. I've worked in large corporation before and when I had the misfortune of working in group that the company had decided made me an insider we weren't allowed to trade any stock through any means except...
