I figured that a dump of negative tests were coming. This data has to be looked at week over week to be interpretable.
Almost 1.2 million 65+ have gotten at least one dose. Should be up to 1/3 of that population within a week. If the supply keeps up, getting all 65+ who want the vaccine at least the first shot by the end of March is realistic.
In theory the supply nationally should almost double pretty soon. They were talking about being at around 10M doses a week which is good but Pfizer and Moderna have delivered around 50M of the 220M doses they are projecting to deliver by the end of March. With 9 weeks to go they will have to average about 19M doses a week to hit their target so some time soon doses will have to start ramping up. In theory if the companies hit targets and FL gets the same percent of the National doses going forward they should be getting about 11M additional Pfizer and Moderna shots by the end of March.
Yup
Don't know if they will or not but I hope they do (once it is available to all who want it) as an incentive for people to get it. Some percentage of the looney tunes will accept the nanobot injection to take their family to WDW. That's what Bill Gates is counting on!
To enter the parks or to enter Disney Property?
Specifically to parks or to stay in a room or DVC - no. DCL might be out of their hands if any port nation requires it or market forces from major competitors makes it “industry standard.”
No time soon. They would only be able to really do that once the vaccine is available to anyone who wants it, including children. Right now even if all adults who want the vaccine have it by May or June, kids under 12 won’t. And the 5-12 group may not have it before the end of the summer. Unless they plan to exempt children which makes no sense they won’t be able to realistically require vaccines until Fall at the very earliest and maybe not until 2022.
International travel is likely too in the medium term. There will be parts of the world that are slower to get out of the pandemic. For cruise ships especially if they want to allow passengers off for excursions.
I was (and remain) staunchly opposed to Brexit, and I think the British government has handled the pandemic terribly, but as far as the vaccine rollout is concerned, you are right. The EU has really failed its citizens.
A lot of people are confused as to what exactly you're buying with DVC.
DVC owners were restricted from going to “the property they own” when the resorts were closed in 2020. Owners are also required to follow all of the rules Disney lays out. You cannot bring a gun with you into a DVC room even if you are an owner. There’s zero reason why Disney couldn‘t restrict DVC owners for Covid vaccines too. Not saying they will do it, but if they don’t that won’t be the reason why they don’t do it.
