Is it like double secret probation?
Agreed and well put. I really hope you are right.

Get used to it. There will be plenty more reports like this in the coming months. As others have said, it’s no problem unless previously vaccinated/infected people are getting serious disease and dying. And even if that happens, better antivirals and antibody therapies are coming...This just in...India discovers a "double mutant" strain.
India records spike in Covid-19 cases as several variants detected, prompting fears of a second wave | CNN
India on Thursday recorded 53,476 new Covid-19 cases, marking the highest single-day rise in cases since October 23, according to a CNN tally of figures from the Indian Ministry of Health.
UGH.
I think you are missing a zero. 1,000 cases a day nationally would be 0.3 cases per 100,000 people. Even Fauci earlier this month said that a reasonable estimate for reducing restrictions and getting rid of masks would be under 10,000 cases a day. 1,000 would be great, but there will likely be a lot of movement before that level.So this article about recommendations for children... If these recommendations are followed, it would suggest you shouldn’t expect massive WDW normalization for the rest of this year:
What to do if you're vaccinated but your kids aren't — Dr. Wen's advice | CNN
While many parents can breathe a sigh of relief with their own vaccinations, it may be hard to feel free as long as their children are unvaccinated. CNN Medical Analyst Dr. Leana Wen weighs in.
Basically, the recommendation is that even if all adults are vaccinated, when mixing families with unvaccinated kids, continue masking and social distancing, avoid indoor restaurants, etc.
Now, I can imagine that if case counts get super low, the lack of children vaccination won’t prevent normalization. If there are under 1,000 cases per day in the US (for example), the risk to even unvaccinated people would be so low that mitigation may be dropped even as to kids.
But if Disney is following these types of recommendations, then don’t expect too much normalization for the rest of the year. (Yes, some capacity increase.. some entertainment.. but reduced capacity, social distancing, and masks, until young kids can get vaccinated in late 2021 or early 2022)

Dr. Fauci Says This Is When We Can Get Rid of COVID Restrictions
Dr. Fauci set the number of daily new cases that we need to get below before COVID restrictions can be lifted and normal life can resume.
It's good that you feel safer at a restaurant than at a supermarket however a supermarket would be relatively low risk even with no mitigation measures. You don't spend very much time near somebody else even in a long checkout line or wait at the deli counter.
Kids are at practically zero risk from COVID. If the adult population is 70% vaccinated they will be at even lower risk because there will be far fewer infected adults to potentially infect the kids.
I agree there will be a level we need to get to before all mitigation measures go away. My only point is that 1,000 is not likely going to be that number. Under 10,000 cases per day nationally is about 3 cases per 100,000 people. If we take this to the FL level since we are all used to seeing the FL numbers every day that’s the FL equivalent of under 650 cases a day on average. If we went down to 1,000 cases a day nationally that would be the FL equivalent of 65 cases a day. I can tell you with nearly 100% certainty that if we get below 650 cases a day on average in FL most if not all restrictions will be lifted at almost every business and they certainly won’t wait until we are down to under 65.
The CNN article about what to do if you are vaccinated and your kids aren't is an interesting example of the shift away from what businesses should do to keep people safe toward what individuals should do to keep themselves safe. The article is not focused on what restrictions restaurants, amusement parks or airlines should continue, but on how people should take those restrictions into consideration in making their own decisions about what is safe. It may seem like a subtle distinction, but it takes into account the reality that mitigation measures won't continue solely based on whether children, who are at low risk, can be vaccinated.I think you are missing a zero. 1,000 cases a day nationally would be 0.3 cases per 100,000 people.

I doubt it myself. Know a kid who is symptomatic, getting tested today
I agree with the conclusion in theory. We are all assuming that kids are less likely to get sick and less likely to spread COvid. There is some science to back that up and it’s part of why schools have been open while other things were not. I think if we get 70% of adults vaccinated it will be a real world test of that theory. If kids aren’t good carriers of Covid then cases will flatline. If they are better than suspected then we may see the decline stall and then we need to either get more adults vaccinated or get kids done. At least 12+ should be eligible soon so it’s only younger kids. It’s conceivable that cases drop low enough that under 12 don’t matter but that’s still 50M people or 15% of the population so we will know one way or the other if they are a problem.
