It’s the only way to get ride capacity up which is the only way to allow more people in. Letting parks “sell out” is leaving money on the table. This was the inevitable next step. Keep in mind you are on the ride for well under 15 mins and both you and everyone else are wearing a mask so 2 of the 3 covid protocols still in place.
Disney websites attract a variety of people with differences. The behavior isn’t that unusual if you pay attention.
I want to joke about things, but I hear you on this.I've been on this forum for nearly a decade, mostly as a reader, but occasional poster. In the first 9 years, I think I had 1 forum member on my ignore list (a fairly notorious one). This thread has caused that list to grow substantially.
I wasn't talking about poor old Joe. LOL I was referring to DeSantis and the article linked about the FL vaccine update. If I were giving kudos to our leadership on the federal level I would have specifically said Susan Rice but that is entirely different discussion.He was the Vice President for 8 years and a Senator for something like 200 years before that
We’re pushing for our school to have a plan. Not just blindly go back.
That makes more sense. It’s hard to say who’s doing well with vaccine rollout. Based on Bloomberg tracker FL is in bottom 1/3 of states for supply used, percent of population given 1 dose and percent of population given both doses. The percentages aren’t too far below the national average so I’m not sure it makes a difference. I think for the most part most of the states have figured this out pretty well. DeSantis has had some missteps with those gated communities getting private vaccine clinics when only hospital workers were supposed to be eligible, but that‘s a small fraction of the total doses administered.I wasn't talking about poor old Joe.

56% of the population has 1 dose and 44% both. They reopened most of their economy (bars, restaurants, sporting events, all schools, etc...) with certain activities limited to those people vaccinated. Could be us in a matter of a month or so when we hit those percentages.Since Israel is a leading nation in percent population vaccinated it is good to see that their R number is now 0.90 and that only 3.3% of test are returning positive. Hospitalization is declining too.
In contrast Brazil has only vaccinated 3% of their population with the Chinese Sinopharm vaccine.(They are asking the Chinese Government for more vaccine) and has the second highest death toll in the world. Normally Brazil is a big WDW customer, but if their situation remains as it is, it may be a long time before Disney sees Brazilian tourists.
While the state of Alaska has now opened up vaccination to everyone 16 and over.

Agreed. I know PA fell behind in the beginning but has pulled back to around average. The difference in percentages isn’t great and is likely pretty quick to change. I think the state and local governments will be critical in the next phase when the surge in demand dies down and they have to run programs to get vaccine hesitant people to come in. That’s when there could be a much larger difference between states and much more criticism for falling behind. Right now pretty much everyone gets a gold starI was looking at the numbers from the site below and there isn't really a huge spread between the "best" states and worst. For percent population with one dose, New Mexico is at the top with 26% and Georgia is at the bottom with 13.4%, with the whole US being at 18.4% For complete vaccination, Alaska is on top with 16% and Utah on the bottom with 7.1% with the US at 9.6%. The spread of doses used is 76% up to 87%.
How is the COVID-19 vaccination campaign going in your state?
The U.S. is engaged in a massive effort to vaccinate the bulk of its population against COVID-19. But some states are working faster than others. See how yours is faring.

This has been driving me crazy. I’ve seen available appointments all week at our local hospital but can’t book my husband. I keep looking because I’m due to have a baby this weekend so I wanted to find a time for late next week for myself. But in March, while lots of the world stayed home, my husband delivered food in an 18 wheeler with no access to rest stops, PPE, or sanitizer. And I’m not allowed to book him appointments that are not being used.. give me a break.Still can’t believe that no essential workers are getting priority. People who spent the last year showing up for work every day to keep the lights on, keep us fed, transport us, etc... despite the personal risk and risk to their loved ones and they will just be waiting even longer as anyone who can get online and click a mouse fast enough will get the appointments first. Sad to see someone only interested in governing half the population
Good luck. My appointment is 2:15 tomorrow. No cancelation this time
Kids in school with teacher via zoom? Who would monitor the kids? You cannot use kids to watch kids either when trying to contact trace. They are not reliable enough. It is harder to socialize distanced. Some schools did part in person and part streaming. That seemed to work better than what we had. It allowed kids to be together with their class instead of feeling isolated.
Good luck! Hope it won't be too bad for you.
Woo hoo!Good luck. My appointment is 2:15 tomorrow. No cancelation this time
As a retired teacher, I had to giggle when I read this. The liability issues that would cause would be tremendous. My district does allow uncertified substitutes/aides in the classroom, but they must be "vetted" first - fingerprinted, background check, etc. Putting a student in charge of other students - no. Any kind of accident that may occur - kid tripping and falling, kid being tripped and falling - would really be a major problem for the school district. My district has a hybrid model - one teacher in classroom with the students, another in an empty classroom teaching remotely to students at home. Not great, but working for the moment.
Or a varient is taking hold more strongly in NY/NJ. WI is currently doing great, but I can confidently say it’s not because Wisconsinites are “behaving” better then the average, we love our bars they are packed like normal, and the great southern migration known as Spring Break is in full swing. Mask wearing is average and I’ve seen a lot of noses hanging out of masks lately.
