Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[Kman]

It’s not lying. If the only reason was transmission from vaccinated people it would be nationally not in high spread areas. It’s obvious that the real reason is spread is too high in some areas. You wearing a mask does nothing to stop that, but everyone wearing a mask in public can help because “everyone” includes the unvaccinated. It’s not about you it’s about the group.

About 50% of the US does not abide by that sentiment

Freedom right?

 

[GoofGoof]

Or they could be looking at what happened in the UK with data, even after opened up and see that the Delta wave will probably peak out in a week or two. Least folks have a choice between the two.

Then why make the staff wear masks?

Disney’s having a rough day…first getting sued by Scarlett Johansson and now Universal one upping you.

So at the end of the day Universal is changing very little. It seems a little bit like the chickens way out, but I get it. As long as people are respectful of those that want to keep their distance from anyone not wearing a mask, it should be fine. I really hope that everybody is at least respectful of everybody else, especially when a parent asks for someone to stand just a couple feet back in case.

Can’t believe I’m back on this forum after all these months. What’s the point of Disney requiring masks indoors? Vaccinated adults aren’t being hospitalized and dying from Covid. Unvaccinated children aren’t being hospitalized and dying from Covid. If adults choose not to get vaccinated and get ill, that’s their issue. The same way that adults who smoke cigarettes their whole life and end up with lung cancer. Or who eat an unhealthy diet and wind up with heart problems and diabetes. Why penalize those who have gotten the vaccine? Yes, they can still transmit Covid, but it’s virtually always a minor case that doesn’t require hospitalization.

Why penalize those who have gotten the vaccine?

Having a major surgery delayed is not being penalized?

Just put the damn mask on inside so things don't get worse.

My god, the whining.

Here’s the issue no one’s answering. The people requiring hospitalization and/or dying are the unvaccinated adults. They are adults, meaning they’ve have had three months at a minimum to get their vaccines. They chose not to do so and now they are paying the price, like adults do. Why penalize those who took responsibility and got fully vaccinated?

Wear your mask if required. We're adults.

 

[Stitch826]

Wear your mask if required.

Once again, avoiding the question.

 

[dreday3]

Mask.



(goodnight)

 

[Stitch826]

So how long until the federal government implements a nationwide vaccine passport system? Since nothing else seems to be working to get the unvaccinated vaccinated?

 

[TokyoMiki]

Na, not in the mood.
You can since you like it so much. I'll pass but thanks for the encouragement.

This news made my day. We have a split stay next week (3 @ Universal and 5 @ WDW). 3 of the 4 of us are vaxed (10 yo is not eligible, but had asymptomatic COVID in Nov so hopefully has antibodies). The thought of wearing masks throughout the entire trip was not appealing at all. Everyone can think what they want about masks, but I am a fan of Universal giving people the option to wear a mask if you are vaccinated and not mandate it like Disney.

Exactly. Disney’s a business and can do whatever they want regarding masks and what not, but it seems foolish to base their policy around adults who willingly choose not to get vaccinated when the risk to vaccinated adults of breakthrough cases resulting in hospitalization or death is extremely slim. Allow guests to make their own decisions about wearing a mask or not.

THAT DOES NOT WORK.

Then in WDW you will be asked to leave if you don't comply.

If hospitals starting filling up with the unvaccinated everyone could have to pay the penalty.

Can we kick them to the curb when the hospital needs space?

Can my 11 year old beat them with a stick to stay 6 feet away? As the guidance says for unvaccinated people.

Unless you’re answering YES to both of those, they’re effecting others in a bad way. Don’t pee in my water supply and tell me it’s fine.

This is the answer and has been for 15ish months.

I mean that’s probably on page 12 of this 4000ish page thread….
