Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[DisneyCane]

Cool. So that means blood on your hands when you make it sound so simple and tell someone they are “good to go” and then they get infected anyway and die.

Same. Except I follow all the science/evidence, not just the stuff I wish to be true.

Absolutely! There can be positive and negative developments happening at the same time. There usually are.

To wit:

The science and evidence says that if you are fully vaccinated you are "good to go" and the chance of getting infected and dying from COVID (no matter your age) becomes irrelevant in the scheme of the risk of dying from any cause. If you follow all the science/evidence, you should not dispute that fact. It is abundantly clear from studies in Israel and now data as other countries (USA and UK among others) become more vaccinated that this is true.

The negative developments are among people who aren't vaccinated. That's their choice. I don't agree with their choice but they have the right to make it.

Not sure if this is allowed to be asked/discussed, but where can I get a PCR test close to Disney with a 24-72 hour turnaround for results?

There are a number of Walgreens locations nearby that offer PCR testing.

Will USA will reach 70% people fully vaccinated by which month?

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Wasn’t my point but ok.

That is THE point…it’s cutting right to the problem that clouds everything

Probably august as it stands…some areas will be much higher…some will be much lower

Delta variant is ‘coronavirus on steroids’, former WH adviser says as it sweeps through Kansas and Missouri

Those who haven’t been vaccinated ‘should be worried’ about new strain, Andy Slavitt says

Within in a month or two i predict Disney will have to go back to putting up restrictions again. Simply never learn anything.

The Delta variant is now 100% of UK cases - and we have seen rates rise up by nearly 300% in a few weeks.

If some from Europe and or UK decide to travel and vacation in the USA, that negative covid test is critical when arriving in Orlando or other cities.

In my mind, not so much. The delta variant is already here and increasing pretty rapidly. Visitors from the EU and UK aren’t changing the course of Covid in the US. The damage is done and unvaccinated Americans are at the same risk with or without foreign visitors, IMHO.

I can understand some don't want to get vaccinated due to medical situations but the others who don't believe in the vaccine are just irresponsible and ignorant.

is this means WDW as USA too will go have masks and social distancing again?!

 

[Disney Analyst]

And data out of Israel.

It does not mean that at this time. But health experts are very worried about variants - particularly as travel resumes and the weather shifts in the fall.

vaccinations are still the most effective step and we should continue to encourage everyone to follow that path

Now I'm worried about the fall and winter. Is USA will go back to order people to wear masks and social distancing this fall and winter?

 

[DisneyFan32]

And data out of Israel.

I'm afraid USA will do same, ask people as vaccinated people to wear masks both outdoors and indoors again this fall and winter.

I'm sure those that are following "the science" so closely, are surely you are aware of the newest studies out this week that are showing that covid infections, even mild ones, are being found to cause loss of brain "grey matter" - explaining why some lose taste/smell, etc.

But hey, good to go, right? Fully protected!
