Ok, now I'm really close to pounding the gavel on a maskless 50th celebration. I don't want to make any promises to myself but frankly, the odds of major restrictions in place for October 1st are low.

By May or June/July as masks and social distancing will be gone soon for states?

If everyone can get the vaccine in May, why the hell are we only "closer to normal" where we can only have small gatherings on July 4?"President Joe Biden is set to announce Thursday evening that he will direct states to make all adults eligible for the Covid vaccines by May 1.
Biden, in his first primetime address to the nation, is also expected to say that Americans should be able to gather in small groups to celebrate the Fourth of July, a senior administration official told reporters Thursday.
“He will be clear that that does not mean large events where lots of people gather, but it does mean that we can once again have an independence day with small gatherings and celebrations,” the official told reporters ahead of the speech.
“And that’s a big step in the right direction,” the official added. “We believe that if we do our part we’ll be in a much better place by Independence Day, and we can start to resume more of our normal activities.”
Biden’s address is scheduled for just after 8 p.m. ET, and will be broadcast from the East Room of the White House. The speech is expected to last less than 20 minutes."

OH man, I'm going to find a vet if I need a booster! I live in what they call an "equine community" so - housecall! Do the Coggins on the mare next door and swing by and jab me! Better than Amazon Prime
Slow walking, still. The 4th will be our first normal holiday in 16 months, barring a surge.
Or could it be the election is long over and they definitely didn't let a crisis go to waste? I remember the Joe who was going to take the virus out back and kick it is and warned of a dark winter . Yet here we are throwing the baby out with the bath water and it hasn't even been a 100 days.Cue the shark
If that's what you think!

Horrible strategy. They need to stop underselling the vaccine if they want the people on the fence to actually take it. They should be hyping it as the greatest thing in the world, the path to full normalcy quickly.

I’m definitely going to the vet for my second shot. My dog always gets a piece of cheese when she gets shots and they didn’t give me nothin at Rite Aid today

Now the next question, what's Chapek's next move? A gradual return to March 2020 Disney or waiting until 2022?

They have already been gradually returning since they reopened so I think they will keep doing that.

I wish people would state why they think they did everything right vs USA. (Versus just stating it as a fact [without evidence])
Here is some evidence of the current rate of vaccination in the world. Other than UK[Which is not Europe], USA has vaccinated as a percentage of their population ( 19.36% ) more than any country in Europe.
Vaccine in the world as of Friday November 8, 2024: the percentage of people vaccinated by country?
As many countries have started their vaccination campaign against the coronavirus at the end of 2020, what is the percentage of vaccinated people compared to the total number of inhabitants for each country? Sortiraparis provides a daily update on the state of vaccination in the world. Click...

Keep in mind, opening to everyone on May 1 does not mean there is the capacity (either vaccine or man power) for everyone to get it that day/week. Then, it a good amount of those are 2 shot regimens, you are looking at mid to late June for a most adults who want the vaccine to actually have received the full regimen.

He is requiring that all states make the vaccine available to all adults by May 1 at the latest. Most states will move to that earlier than May 1. Alaska is already there. They don’t think everyone will be done being vaccinated in May. You would need to have your first dose of Moderna by May 23 in order to get the second dose 28 days later by June 20 and then be immune by July 4th 2 weeks later. Anyone starting Moderna after May 23 won’t be fully immune by Juiy 4th. For Pfizer it’s May 30 and JnJ June 20. So while most people getting vaccinated will be fully immune by July 4th some will not. I don’t think it’s too restrictive to say small gatherings by July 4th. That’s a very emotionally significant target. I think a really smart way to further encourage vaccine acceptance. In his speech he better highlight that July 4th can be great but only if we hold the line today with masks and distancing to keep the cases in decline and also we get enough people vaccinated.
