Usually we are in step with most things but I do question the giddy statement over a setback for a vaccine? I may have missed those posts and if I did, sorry for questioning you on it. I have not seen one that I took that way. Like I said, might have missed it. If it did happen, well then I really don’t understand some here.
I wonder if we will see more workplaces transition back to work from home for the winter. I know a lot of people are already doing that, but a decent number of people went back to office/work spaces.

We have gone to a couple restaurants that had outdoor dining a few times, but once it gets colder out, we will just go back to strictly cooking at home.

So what exactly is the expectation regarding vaccination? Ideally a vaccine will be mass-produced and hopefully available in early 2021? Then what? Allow a couple months to give Americans the opportunity to get the vaccine if they desire? Then local and state governments will allow businesses (including Disney of course), churches, schools, sports teams, etc. to operate completely without restrictions regarding capacity, social distancing, or face masks? Is this the correct line of thinking here?
That is a very weird way to let those people know they can try to operate their businesses. I don't think it is time yet (no suggestion for their survival) but we move on and monitor the numbers."The state will allow bars to reopen at 50 percent capacity starting Monday, Florida’s top business regulator announced on social media late Thursday.

3 or 4 weeks? Opened beginning of June and closed end of June?
Sounds like it was leaked before the employees where notified and the co was left scrambling. Severance seems kinda screwy though."Ten former SeaWorld and Busch Gardens employees shared similar stories with the Tampa Bay Times. Furloughed since March, they learned of last week’s layoffs from headlines or social media, or after being blocked from employee accounts.
“An email or phone call would have been nice, but yeah, we didn’t get that,” said Sydney Harber, 25, of Tampa, another Sesame Street performer. “Most of us figured that we would all come back at some point, but we knew the parks weren’t doing that great. It was just a shock that, all of a sudden, there are news reports saying SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment is laying off (employees)."
"The day before the layoffs, SeaWorld sent employees another letter detailing, among other things, changes to the company’s severance policy, which was moving from a “fixed formula” to a “facts-and-circumstances based determination.” The new policy went into effect Sept. 2.
“They changed the policy two days before they fired me,” said Ernie Abrams, a theater tech who had been with SeaWorld Orlando for 31 years. “That’s not right. I know it’s legal, because Florida’s a right-to-work state. But it’s just not right.”
According to Abrams, the company’s prior severance had been a week’s pay for every year of employment, up to a certain number of weeks. Now, he said, the amount was at the company’s discretion. Instead of the months of pay he was expecting, he got four weeks."
Furloughed Busch Gardens, SeaWorld workers: Sudden layoffs were ‘just a shock'
Workers learned of the cuts through news or social media, rather than directly from the parks. They’re not happy about it.
It looks bad, but we don’t know how bad things are at Sea World. Reducing severance may be necessary to save the jobs of the rest of the employees that weren’t let go. Terrible for the workers laid off, but it’s the lesser of 2 evils if the alternative is bankruptcy and/or shutting down. I have no idea how bad things are there but they definitely don’t have the balance sheet of Disney or Comcast to fall back on.
We expect that wide-spread vaccination should lead to a sharp reduction in cases. The metric for gradually returning to normal should be, as it always should have been, reduced caseloads. I don't know what magic number we should aim for, but just to take a wild guess, maybe it should fall in the range for, lets say, the yearly total for measles.
Wow that's harsh. 31 years of loyal service expecting 31 weeks severance and then changed to 4 weeks severance instead."Ten former SeaWorld and Busch Gardens employees shared similar stories with the Tampa Bay Times.
