Yes, please take I-81. Skip I-95. 1/2 hour longer on I-81, but you can avoid DC and that awful stretch south of DC on I-95. DC is just the tip of the iceberg. The traffic for about 50 miles south of DC is awful.
Pretty clear to me that the only way out is a good antiviral. Take a CoVid test at home and start the 5 day treatment ASAP to stop disease progression. Hopefully we get some good results with Molnupiravir as they are expected in September. With the US government spending big on it, can we say...
You can still get CoVid outside if you are in close enough contact. Rare, yes, but why take chances with delta?
So without social distancing on a line for an attraction, it is better safe than sorry.
With the average reading level in the US at 7th-8th grade, messaging from the CDC, etc. need to be clear and simple. The problem is this virus is anything but simple. Add to that misinformation from media outlets and politicians...well here we are.
How are the cast/team members doing? They are inside with guests all day. Are we seeing many out due to illness from the Delta surge? How about waiters and waitresses? The employees are certainly the canary in the coal mine for those about to visit.
For an industry that is already short...
.02 is two percent. That's a lot of people. The fact that our country is so divided on something as simple as a mask makes me wonder how we could unify the way we did during WWII? How does that comment get you outraged?
And the country is the people in it. Not the flag or the...
Could you imagine if this country had to fight WWII again? From what I have seen since March 2020, I am not sure we would be able to do it.
Masks should be the minimum thing that we do until the numbers are low , not coming back up and when a good antiviral is available (molnupiravir?). The...
If the CDC recommends masking again indoors, I expect Disney to follow. Either that or a major outbreak amongst their employees will force their hand. You can't have a positivity rate north of 20% in the local area and not expect outbreaks amongst the employees or hotel guests. Delta takes...
It's a matter of time before Disney, Universal or Sea World is tied to a major outbreak of the Delta variant. The whole tourism industry of Central Florida has its foundation in children's entertainment. The vast majority of those kids are unvaccinated. Now the mayor of Orange county is...
If the virus count surges over the next few weeks, I expect the CDC to suggest masking indoors for everyone again regardless of vaccination status. Disney Parks would then follow those new guidelines as part of their corporate practice. It makes sense from a health standpoint as well as a PR...
We have stayed at the Yacht Club close to 50 nights over the years. Never disappoints. Location, location, location. Also, the YC has a nice quiet pool. We like Stormalong Bay at night after some Coney Island Chris and Ample Hills Creamery.
