Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[Brer Oswald]

It’s not looking likely that I will be able to visit the parks this year. And I’m not sure I want to visit after this year. 2019 might’ve been the best send off to myself and WDW.

Oh well. I suppose there’s always Disneyland... I hope.

When masks come off is rather simple: After a month when vaccines are available such that anyone can walk into a pharmacy and get one.

For those who say we have to keep protocols going for those who are still unvaccinated after that... no.

Almost all of those who aren't vaccinated are anti-vaxxers and they'll never get vaccinated. We shouldn't keep protocols going forever because anti-vaxxers won't get vaccinated forever.

Those anti-vaxxers who don't get vaccinated will wind up getting COVID. A portion of them will be sick and a smaller portion will have long term health issues and/or die, but, in the end, they'll catch it and wind up immune. Their own fault.

Does anyone actually read other people's posts or do they just post dissertations of all their knowledge?

I think most people do read the posts and don't just post dissertations. Obviously, not all.

Taking into account reporting delays, I wouldn't be surprised if at least 1 million seniors age 65 and over have received at least one dose. That would be around 20% of the most vulnerable population (by age) in FL.

So, extrapolating that out, we’ll be done with seniors and ready to move onto the next phase in...May?

These are my winter go to lolView attachment 526433
They have ones for shoes as well

Thanks for the tip. A 40pack at Wal-Mart.com goes for $30. I could sell each for $5 for people standing out in line and make a nice profit.

1 month for America. 2 months for everywhere else.

I know. I just don't enjoy when people put words in my mouth that I never actually said.

 

[GoofGoof]

Holy bananas. I never said I won't need a mask when I get my second dose. And yes I'll assume these posts are partly about me since I was one of the main parties in the conversation that these posts are referring to.

Does anyone actually read other people's posts or do they just post dissertations of all their knowledge?

I'm not a moron. I never thought that I could stop wearing a mask when I was vaccinated. I dont know how many ways I can say that obviously we have to wait until cases drop, spread slows. All I said was that if all I needed was the vaccine and I could stop wearing the mask, I would be comfortable doing so as I trust the vaccine. Not that it would actually happen like that in reality.

Good lord.

I wasn’t referring to your posts at all. Someone a few pages back said as soon as they got the vaccine their mask was coming off. Others have said the same in the past. Others have suggested masks will definitely be gone May 1 because of Biden’s wear a mask for 100 days campaign.

I might tack a month or two onto your timeline, simply because we do owe it to those who can’t medically receive the vaccine. We maybe should get a buffer going for them and give it a bit of time to push cases down further.

Save for maybe a few saying otherwise, those saying they’ll feel more comfortable in public after the vaccine and are looking forward to that day are all saying the same thing. We’re not ready to flaunt the rules, but know where things are (hopefully) headed.

A significant number of those are wrong...repeatedly wrong...and easily proven wrong.

This isn’t the part where we act like opinions are “sacred”, is it?

No. It’s the part where we use “flowery”language.

On the assumption that a month after anyone can get a vaccine second dose, that community spread falls through the floor, sure. But it’s not because the vaccine is available. It’ll be because community spread is under control.


Let’s all hope that other testing support, contact tracing, surveillance testing all pick up too. Because we're not very close to 12-18 year olds approved for vaccination. And we’re a world away from under 12. If we have to wait until under 12 are part of “anyone”, it’s going to be a long time. I think we can do better than that.

 

[Kman]

This is blunt but I have to ask? Do you care about anyone other than yourself?

This is the attitude that has killed 412k to date.

Most everyone on this thread (as of late) already knows this.

To answer your question, no. I didn’t even read your full message.

 

[carolina_yankee]

I can’t speak for anyone but myself; I don’t really care about Disney passes; either they will be affordable to me and a value or not. I have always known sooner or later I will be priced out, that’s just the way it is..

As for the death count made by the experts. I will always hope it will ultimately be far less and I will not be ashamed or apologize for that..

I think we all hope it will be far less.

Freedom.
My body, my face.
Force me to wear something on my face... Get the h*%# out of here with that as soon as a good portion of the population is vaccinated.
I'm done.
As for the rest of you - you can wear an N95 for the rest of your lives if it makes you feel safe.

This is maybe the best post here...and we’ve had some doozies...

Wait...I picked the wrong word...it wasn’t “best”

I would like to buy everyone in this thread - even those that I don’t agree with - a fine spirit at the Epcot location of their choosing...after this is over.

Cept maybe you.

Be sure to fly your truck flag at half mast

Great! See you in Italy for a glass of peach moscato!
