Considering Georgia's low vaccination rate I would say that's actually bad news.

I think its safe to say Disney World this summer is going to look A LOT DIFFERENT than Disney world looked just 4 months ago.

Capacity increase is 100% coming and they better open some more things up because if they dont its going to get pretty crowded fast.

They need more shows, restaurants, etc......

I just looked and Cobb and Gwinnet counties are about 14% both doses not counting pharmacy and LTC doses

I don't think the Braves are asking anyone who is uncomfortable to come to the games. I think it's great from a mental health perspective. We make light of sports sometimes but for sports fans it's a big part of their lives and it brings them joy. I'm counting on those people to act responsibly in these packed houses and I believe they will.

My only issue with it is I would have to go watch the Braves play. Go Phils....and wear your mask

Something interesting the OC Mayor said in his news conference today is that their vaccination totals do not include vaccinations done by either DoD or or the VA since the federal government has not released that data.

I do think we have underestimated throughout the pandemic just how essential venues for entertainment and relaxation are to a properly functioning, mentally sound society. Sitting at home watching Netflix only goes so far.

I didn’t even have Netflix before Covid. I held out forever but the pandemic got me

I still don’t have Netflix but my Disney+ subscription is coming in handy!

My argument would be that yes entertainment events are good for society but they don’t have to be indoors. Lots of open air, drive-in, and other creative ways to present entertainment.

I wish there were more people thinking outside of the box vs. “we can’t wait until things can get back to 100% ‘normal’”

So what number are the using to determine the phases?

I think the comment was something along the lines of current percent vaccinated in OC was not inclusive of DoD and VA vaccinations for residents but that if they get that data there could be a sizable bump up in percent vaccinated. I take that to mean they would include them. I’m paraphrasing. It was in the Q&A towards the end. VA could be anywhere. Is there an active military base in or around Orange County?

I actually took a look at what we had vs what we all actually watched. We chopped a few things

Florida according to the CDC sets at 14,851,191 doses administered so there's definitely a discrepancy somewhere.

I have both, but I prefer Hulu over Netflix. On top of adding shows the day after they air, I feel like they add content (both original and non) more reliably as well.

Handmaids Tale came back yesterday and they dropped 3 right off the bat. Watched them all last night.

I've had people tell me I need to go ride a coaster lol. There's only so long before I feel like I'm going stir crazy and need to scream.

So I guess I wouldn't be included in those numbers because I went to a pharmacy. I also traveled out of county to get mine 2 doses.
