Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[JoeCamel]

We all saw this coming. At least anyone who thought about it for a little time and ignored the stuff coming from our leaders. There was no way we could do those numbers of getting people vaccinated initially. There’s to many moving parts.. no countrywide plan.. not enough doses out there yet. It may take longer then we all expected but it’s started which is a good thing.
My plan would have been able to kill 2 birds with one stone. Put the vaccine in beer.. then open all the bars and pubs.. we could have everyone vaccinated before next Friday. No one listens to me though.

2nd dosing mandatory

2nd dosing mandatory

Was thinking 2-10th mandatory.

IV drip?

Today I'll find out if the vaccination sign up is vetted or if a questionable character'd acquaintance can lie their way into getting the vaccine by lying about being a medical professional.

NJ's website says that no docs will need to be shown... though I don't know how rigorous the online registration is.

Not rigorous at all. He sent me the link. You can just select "other" as profession.

Looks it will be awhile for any Canadians to head back to Disney. Not only have they added that you need a negative Covid test before you board a plane to fly home then now are going to close the loop hole in who is eligible for money if you have to quarantine.

"Ottawa 'actively looking' into loophole that allows quarantining travellers to get sickness benefit" https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.5860020

Right now if you have to quarantine due to Covid you can get $500 from the government. The loop hole they are closing is if you travel outside of the country you won't be eligible for the money

I remember many cars with Ontario plates driving to FL on I-95 during the year.

They are trying to stop that now. By people not being able to get money to quarantine after leaving the country many will avoid traveling now.

I can assure you people visiting FL are not doing quarantine and they are going to the parks full steam ahead.

 

[Piebald]

Gatlinburg has been nuts as well. I'd say much worse than Orlando has surprisingly.

The quarantine is when they return

They mean for when Canadians return home. Before you could basically fly to Florida and have you trip, and then get home and quarantine and receive a government benefit.

Now to fly home you’d need proof of negative test, and would not have that benefit during your 14 day quarantine. Making travel even more unattractive to Canadians.

Now when you add in having a negative test before coming home and not getting Covid relief money for quarantine many Canadians will no longer be traveling til the advisory is over.

Maybe because I'm not from Canada but their govt gives them quarantine Covid money? That's a nice perk living in Canada if that's accurate.

If you have to quarantine due to Covid and can't work they give you $500 a week.

Nice benefit!

 

[Jrb1979]

Nice benefit!

I will say they have been pretty good with helping people financially as much as possible.

This year, there will probably be a not insignificant number of snow birds experiencing their first Canadian winter in quite a while

Yeah, you Canadians are just a bunch of Communists! You should let your citizens suffer and die from completely avoidable hardships like us freedom-loving countries do!
