I love the last sentence. It’s ironic how a lot of the same people who railed on about the economy and belittled people who were “afraid of a virus” now won’t get the vaccine which is a huge negative for the economy and they are “afraid“ of a vaccine.
And your sense of taste. That is probably the way to sell the under 40’s on the vaccine. Get vaccinated, your food and beer taste good. Skip it and you eat cardboard for 2 months.Let hope it’s short lived. On the bright side we are adding to the number naturally “immune”. Immune is immune, but I’d rather have a sore arm and a potential headache
That’s a bit contradictory when they’ve also said the vaccinated don’t need a test following exposure to someone with covid, but I get it, and if rapid tests are enough and available at the airport of origin, it’s a small price to pay.Definitely good news!
Article below from the NYT -
"Americans who are fully vaccinated can travel “at low risk to themselves,” both within the United States and internationally, but they must continue to take precautions like wearing a mask in public, avoiding crowds, maintaining social distancing and washing hands frequently, federal health officials said on Friday.
Vaccinated Americans do not need to get a coronavirus test before arriving in another country, unless required to do so by authorities at the destination, and they do not need to quarantine after returning to the United States unless required to do so by local jurisdictions, according to new recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
But vaccinated travelers should have a negative result from a coronavirus test before boarding a flight back to the United States, and they should get tested against three to five days after their return home. The recommendation is predicated on the idea that vaccinated people may still be infected with the virus.
People are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine, or two weeks after receiving the second dose of the two-dose regimen from Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna."

I hope it's short lived. With more younger people filling the hospitals every where it is concerning. Especially since they are the generation that doesn't want the shot.Let hope it’s short lived.

Ii was born, raised and still a NJ resident and income tax payer. I am proud of NJ on the things we do right but not blind and when we do a bad job we need to admit it and take responsibility. The terrible job we are doing fighting Covid19 must be pointed out. Having over 50 cases per 100,000 is inexcusable. I have been pleading on my posts for people to get vaccinated, wash their hands and social distance. However, the state has done little to help. I went crazy trying to get the vaccine as soon as I was qualified, finally getting it in Berlin. I also signed up in Florida. The State of NJ did nothing to help. Florida on the otherhand called me just after I had received my first shot in NJ. NJ and the county I live in did nothing. My wife was easy to sign up because she is still employed in Essex county and because she works there Essex County had to allow her to sign up and get the shot. Thanks to the fact that the residents of Essex Country are not getting vaccinated at the rate they should, those who work in Newark have an easy time getting it. If you want me to pick on Northern NJ only and not the Southern portion of the state, so be it, but it is still one state.These daily update posts from you are the equivalent of beating your head against the wall. We all know cases are going to rise right now due to spring break. The younger generation just doesn’t care about getting sick. You keep beating up NY and NJ, but if you look at the specific areas of those states that are high, it’s the very densely populated NYC area and NJ suburbs right outside NYC and Philadelphia. Until the weather breaks for spring (hopefully now), people are still going to congregate indoors mostly. I live in South Jersey and I feel our area is doing very well with it. The majority of people I work with and almost all of my friends and family have been fully vaccinated by now. This is what we should be using our voices for...urging more people to get the vaccine. Not complaining about cases rising and calling out entire states with a blanket statement.
And for the record using your reasoning, I “own property in NJ so I have the right to talk positively about my state”....
Makes perfect sense. This should spell the end of state-specific travel advisories, honestly.
So new variants will get even worse?
Won’t it be funny if you can get to WDW before DLP!
Nobody knows to be fair.Now the pandemic will never end soon thanks to new variants....
