exactly. The vaccines approved are approved because they work.
Most didn't and kept ships with people dying hanging out in the water. Some politicians didn't want them because it'd make the numbers of infected and dead look bad (this was when the numbers were in the hundreds, not the tens of thousands).
At some point we have to get to where it’s the responsibility of each individual or family to make their own decisions about how they want to feel safe (or not). Just like with everything else we do in life.
It is each of our responsibility to make our own decisions on what and where we feel safe, that hasn’t changed. I can go to the store, or have it delivered. We all make those decisions daily. As for Disney, they already have the waiver on their website. If you enter Disney you are doing it at your own risk. So that’s been in place.
I know from cruising back in the day I along with other passengers were eating and drinking all day/ night so if I were to wear a mask it would probably be off half the time. I've already got both my Moderna shots, still mask up like before the vaccine shots but I have no desire to get back on a boat. When I used to cruise some cruise lines had all you can drink options ( alcoholic and non alcoholic ) so some fellow guests had a cup glued to their hand during parts of the day/night.
It's amazing that's discussion at all. We know people who were otherwise healthy dropping dead within two weeks of getting Covid-19 who have left behind spouses and school age children.
I agree, but I’ve seen numerous people post things like that here and in other social media circles and the other day a US Senator said something along the same lines. It’s crazy to me that some people still believe that because you are more likely to become seriously ill or die from Covid if you are high risk and/or elderly that means if you are young and healthy there’s no risk. I just hope enough people who feel that way get the vaccine anyway or we may come up short and delay our return to normal.
That can happen if the cases drop low enough. If the cases stay higher a large number of people won’t return. Putting aside personal feelings and looking at WDW as a business, they can’t “return to normal” if a large group of their target demographic won’t come. When WDW first opened last Summer many people who went were thrilled to go and have most rides as walk ons but they couldn’t even hit the really low capacity limits. The guests who went were happy but it was a far cry from “normal” WDW. So putting any legal liability and damage to reputation aside Disney could just remove all safety protocols today if they wanted to, but that would only delay an actual return to normal. Some people would be happy to go anyway, many other people wouldn’t. Disney is going to do what’s best for the business in the medium to long term. Families with kids who aren’t even eligible to be vaccinated yet are not going to return in numbers if the parks aren’t thought of as “safe”. Some people don’t care, but “some people“ doesn’t get Disney back to something resembling normal. If they want to fill high priced hotel rooms and bring in out of state guests they need to keep the reputation of being safe.
We can be at their current level of vaccination by May 1 if we hit delivery and vaccination targets
Yes. Also keeping an eye on India, which could be ground zero in the next week or two.
It’s great data and news from them these results are from just over 50 percent of the whole population fully vaccinated it hints that the herd immunity threshold is between 50 and 60 percent which should be totally achievableWe can be at their current level of vaccination by May 1 if we hit delivery and vaccination targets
I have a hard time believing some of the science though when the science is different depending on which site or source it comes from.
I get all of that but it’s going to be interesting to see who makes the first lesser restriction move (Uni or Disney) because the other will likely have to follow soon thereafter
