Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[Sirwalterraleigh]

More good news on the number of new cases. Due to rounding yesterday's US total number of cases per 100,000 fell to 11. Today the number is actually at 11. There are now 19 states in single digits and 9 more at 10. In other words over half the country would be off the old quarantine list today. Only 4 states are still in the 20's with Maine and Minnesota being at 20, Michigan at 26 and Colorado at 25. All other states are between 11 and 18. That is major progress, even Florida is down to 16.

that’s the weather combined with the PARTIAL net of vaccines stretching out...

so in order to end it...ARMS OUT!!

"I'm so busy " is the most socially acceptable catch all excuse of someone that does not want to commit/go through it excuse.

I hear unproven or don't want to get sick from the shot. I think it is just lazy or let everyone else get it so I won't have to.

...so maybe the rumors of overall societal privilege/selfishness may not be that “off” afterall?

I think it is going to be interesting when we are told we have to get a booster shot how many of the population that already got the first will go back for booster.

I will go but I bet numbers will be very low.

I read/conversation with someone, don't remember, the booster will be stronger. That would be a deterrent.

What states will offer an incentive
Currently to get a shot
Krispy Kreme glazed donut at KK store everyday for 2021 nationwide
Free glass of beer - NJ
MD - $100 for state employees
WV ages 18-35 $100 savings bond
NYC - free subway pass for period of time, entry admission to certain public venues
Uber Lyft in some areas to get people to their shot
Etc etc

Some friends that are RNs in hospitals use that reasoning " unproven" and refuse to get the vaccine and they directly work with covid patients.

From all I hear it's worrying about side effects. If the booster isn't bad, people will do it. From the limited news about variant testing, that might not be an issue.

You can believe I'll be there getting the booster before any of you all if needed lol

But really people talking and doing doesn't always match up. So many are really all about being loud but what they do quietly is another story.....

The ones that are worried are the ones who had contacted covid and possibly are worried about side effects from getting the vaccine. My brother's friend a healthy guy in his early 50s no underlying health conditions tested positive after a business trip. He quarantined with symptoms and collapsed and was rushed to the ER then covid ward for several days . When he got his first covid shot two months later he said he felt like he experienced covid again and was bedridden for several days but not sent to a hospital. Doubts about getting the second shot.

that will be the Seinfeld esque vaccine version of “Festivus”

...it will just consist of the Airing of Grievances for expediency

Those will be among the last to go. Close quarters with strangers

 

[DisneyFan32]

After the pandemic in US, COVID-19 will no longer a threat / thing anymore by this year, 2022 and so on.......

Why are we classifying the goal as 70% of adults? You do realize that’s only about 56% of the population right? Just because kids can’t get vaccinated doesn’t mean they can’t get Covid. If the goal is to stamp out Covid with herd immunity we need to get to 70% of the entire population. If we were only relying on adults that would require approximately 87.5% vaccination among adults, now with 12+ it means 82% vaccinations among eligible participants.

Just because OC Florida is defying their goal as vaccinated adults does not mean the CDC is.

And to head off the counter argument right away, here’s national Covid Cases broken down by age, you will notice that children are still getting the same amount of Covid cases daily that they were at the national peak, only adult cases have lessened.

I actually heard this out of crew member two days ago. He said in a morning meeting, "you guys need to get it so I don't have to".
I do believe that there is a huge factor too. I've never seen so many rough and tough grown men turn into marshmallows when there is talk of shots and needles.

I really just don't understand that, aside from them being the lucky ones as asymptomatic, the possibility of not actually catching it, or even yes, being immune to the strains they have encountered, based on a very slim chance of natural, or built from some exposure. IMO, the risk of what can go wrong when it does though, is too high. Sis in law knows someone who has had a low grade fever for over a year now, and due to blood clots directly related to the time of being sick with covid, one lost an eye, one lost a leg and another lost both legs. Another who attended our wedding is still dealing with brain fog, yet other family members in that same household had nothing. That's the scary part, that it can be a crap shoot on who gets what, including nothing vs. vaccine and a huge probability in comparison of nothing or minimal.

On a side note, I recently learned I have an aunt who is all conspiracy, that the vaccines alter our DNA, there are nanobots or something similar there to control us and control our thoughts and that due to the design of the genetic mutations, the vaccine companies will technically own us, or a part of us. She's reportedly even stopped speaking to people she knows who have had the vaccine, and that's in addition to the other political stuff I figured. Full Q.

One can love one's family members, but at the same time there are times when one has to let go.
