I never liked the front of the Polynesian from an image standpoint. I think the concept art looks great. I very much hope the lush water and plant features return or are enhanced (in the normal meaning of that word, not the Disney meaning). I'm one of those who also prefers the new lobby. I...

DVC has restricted individual owners who have caused problems in the past. You misbehave and you get trespassed from the property. All of it.

I've been wondering about this, too. I think a super-cautious approach would still require testing, though, since those who are vaccinated won't likely get sick but they can still be carrier. We don't know yet if they can infect others. That's the problem with early-adoption, still a lot of...

I think we all hope it will be far less.

Who is predicting 1.4 million dead? That is, now, today, with information currently available? I’m rooting for less than that, too. If that’s our benchmark, then we’ll both be happy. But 500,000 - 600,000 will likely still be dead. That won’t make me happy.

Fauci said it would take a year to 18 months to get a vaccine, that's about where it is - and not everybody can get a vaccine. By the time we can vaccinate everyone, it will be over the 12 months minimum Fauci predicted. I don't think we know just how *lucky* we are that two companies had mRNA...

I just want to say I'm so sorry. I'm glad his family was able to be with him.

I'm not sure the goalposts have been moved, or maybe it's just been my own assumptions. I've always assumed we will have a "degree of normalcy" when stats are at a level to say so. My own assumption has been that something approaching herd immunity will be the time when that happens. The nature...

Barring a comple logistical breakdown, I'm anticipating a huge ramp up by the end of February. I think the JnJ vaccine should be in the mix by then. If numbers truly are going down right now and it's not just reporting lags for new infections, I'm very hopeful for late spring/summer given the...

Now that’s the kind of world only a Disney fan could dream of (And demand).

I understand the anxiety. I think we also have to look at the reality a whole new team is coming on deck that a) knows what they are doing, b) is prepared to do it, and c) understands the positive role government can have in this. That’s tremendously hopeful. I think we also have to take a deep...

I like the point above about “sincere” attractions but I’m all over this and it could be a breath of fresh air. Of course, I also love Muppets.

Oh, I don't disagree at all - each state seems to have a unique set of circumstances. Georgia is really interesting to me, too, my husband grew up there and Savannah is likely to be a retirement consideration. Friends were just in Savannah and freaked - very little mask wearing and distancing...

California has its share of "rural upstate types" in the central valley. We have friends there and their level of denial or "it's just us, we can do what we want" is stunning. Five or six cases from extended family gatherings so far. And that's just among our friends. And these are educated...

Just putting out there that NPR did a story this AM with a tattoo artist in California. Apparently she's doing a ton of Disney tattoos because people can't get to Disney and want a reminder of happier times! Look for a lot of Disney characters as body art at the pools this summer. :)

I think it is and it isn't. Places around here are running out of supply. I was supposed to be vaccinated this week but got canceled because vaccines ran out. My understanding is the the state isn't stockpiling, but placing orders that are shipped directly to sites. I don't know how much of the...

The problem doesn’t seem to be a lack of doses, but the lack of logistical distribution of doses. That will improve and probably quickly now that the holidays have passed. Plus, more vaccines should be coming online in the next 8-10 weeks to further ramp up supply. Just let it play out. I...

Are there not other entities doing vaccinations? Here in NJ, we're about to ramp up with CVS and Walgreens, various health clinics, etc.

WHO briefing right now answered a question on the transmissibility - noting it moved the R0 from 1.1 to 1.5. They were clear that the good news is that is a very manageable number to get under control. This isn't a wildly out of control thing, so much as something that requires a doubling down...

Thanks. Seems like there is indeed enough smoke to suggest fire and more work is being done to see just what the nature of the fire is. Hope everyone stays safe.
