I assume thats to get past Memorial Day weekend.

I agree, I think it's a safe bet the tourism effect is a big reason. They just had the OC conference at the airport, and made it a point to discuss how high the traffic is there again.

So IF the rate is a 14 day below 5%... before memorial day... they are still going to wait until after memorial day? Hmmm

Sounds like it. Honestly makes sense. There will be a ton of travelers for the holiday from other areas that may or may not have high vax rates. Give it another week to avoid that headache and let that number sit under 5% and get more people vaxxed. I think this gives them works time to slow walk and train employees

We've had a mask mandate since June 2020. What's two more weeks at this point.

That’s how it sounded in his answer. He specifically referenced getting through Memorial Day weekend first. Now that can change, but it seems likely that’s the plan right now.

I'm just asking the question. It just seemed a bit strange.

At the current pace it’s worth about 3-5% more of the adults being vaccinated. It won’t be 70% but 56% is better than 51%.

My conspiracy theory mind goes
"We're at 4.2% with rapid tests. 5.2% without. We will go without rapid tests and hold off until after the influx of travelers during memorial day weekend. Plus we just announced phase II 5 days ago"
I'll be there in 8 days. But I'm happy I can drink and walk (and stumble). Who knows. Maybe the half way point of our trip we will be able to remove the masks completely.

I'm worried about Memorial Day weekend coming next week, is going to be a massive surge / spike or not?

With the number of people that are vaccinated I feel it will not be a spike. 7 states have 70%+ of 16 ups with a first shot. That is amazing.

Doubt it. Even spring break did not cause as big of a jump as I thought. Maybe blips but no spikes

Worry is not good for over all health. Everything always works out, it usually does, I suggest an adult (yes, alcoholic) beverage of your choosing and breath in the fresh air, with out a mask of course.

Fauci literally admitted on Good Morning America yesterday (or the day before) that the chance of contracting COVID in an indoor setting after being vaccinated is “extremely low” and the reason that he continued to wear his mask is because “he didn’t want to look like he was giving mixed signals”. Just sayin’…

The CDC already said fully vaccinated people don’t need to wear a mask, even indoors. That’s old news. What he didn’t say is nobody needs to wear a mask indoors. Unvaccinated people still do so that creates the issue for WDW since they don‘t know who is vaccinated.

Just announced to us at work that customers and employees that have been vaccinated will not be required to wear masks starting tomorrow. The unvaccinated people are already whining about it's not fair they will still have wear them.
