Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

100% of Florida has had COVID-19?

I'll rephrase. 998 in 1000 people don't die from covid in Florida.

The only point of my reply to that person was to show the numbers can be used on either side. You can say 1 of 500 dies or 499 of 500 survive/don't die.

When not looking at it as a %, it is very shocking. Did you know that 1 in 500 of residents of Florida have died as a result of Covid?

Advent Health Central Florida and Tampa General would have a word about that. Average wait time in ER is 12-13 hours ,,more areas in hospitals converted to covid wards, staff shortages because of burned out staff and elective surgeries being delayed.

 

[wdisney9000]

Tell that to the ones who were anti vaxxers on their deathbed in the hospital saying
" I wish I would have gotten the vaccine ".
Misinformation - Not.

What do the people Who are double vaccinated and lying on their death bed, dying from covid say?

Or what would you say to the people who have gotten the vaccine and suffer from life changing side effects?

Bring up the percentages on your feedback and you will see unvaccinated are dying in more numbers than vaccinated. Are you trying to say being vaccinated does not help fight against covid?

What would you say to the people Who are dying from covid yet were double vaccinated?

Also what would you say to the people who have been vaccinated and suffer from life changing side effects?

Neither of those questions are a statement that being vaccinated doesn't help the fight of covid. They are questions, not statements.

Nope, at least not here.

State-run monoclonal antibody treatment site now open in Orlando

The site is being hosted at Camping World Stadium.

So you are telling me that a bunch of people who won’t take the vaccine because it’s unproven and not FDA approved (even though 1 is now) are lining up to take an unproven treatment under EUA? How do these people rationalize that reality? I assume there is a lot of regret and second guessing decisions but it’s too little too late.

Apparently you have made it loud and clear of your examples of ones being vaccinated dying from covid and you continually questioning this. I and many others are vaccinated and will keep moving on.

The two takeaways from the article are "The saddest part, Jen says, is this didn’t have to happen. Most of her patients, and the ones suffering the most, haven’t been vaccinated" and the question of why you would put an N95 respirator OVER a surgical mask. The N95 needs to tightly seal to the skin in order to work most effectively. If you are going to double mask, shouldn't it be the other way with the surgical mask used to pull the N95 tighter?

Probably an error from the journalist, unless the nurse was having a particularly bad day.

With everything in the article *that* is what you cite as a takeaway?

The one and soon done Harvard educated idiot in charge of FL has gullible followers that drink the kool aid.

To be fair, the antibody infusion is a valid tool in fighting the disease. It's just rather resource-intensive, has somewhat limited benefit and not a substitute for the tried-and-true primary prevention tools like quarantines, contract-tracing, masking, social distancing, and vaccines. I just find it odd that the governor has put so much emphasis on this treatment and either ignored or didn't stress the importance of the other things.

These cases are so exceedingly rare and you know it. To use this as a line of debate would be laughable if it weren’t so irresponsible and tragic.

Virtual learning is not for everyone. Our children did just fine. Many of their friends struggled. But it should still be a component this year— used as an option when needed — and it definitely needs to be on the menu for the thousands of kids who are already missing weeks of school due to quarantine. Not having it for use in this situation is putting those kids behind and in some cases delaying the entire curriculum even for those not quarantined.

Universal masks, social distancing and vaccinations for those old enough are also important components in this. More of those three would reduce cases and quarantines and keep kids in the classroom which is ultimately what everyone wants.

Mine struggled with the way it was done. Previous if an in class assignment wasn't completed in class, she was able to bring it home as homework. With virtual it had to be turned in before the class period was over. She submitted incomplete work many times which effected her grades. I tried to explain to teachers she needed more time and I wasn't a SAHM to be there the entire day. They didn't care. What's worse is because we weren't given the time after school, it took longer to fully grasp a lesson.
If it would have been working at her pace instead, the virtual would have been great.

 

[Heppenheimer]

When anyone survives it’s a good thing. By completing and continuing to discredit science and safe vaccinations is a bad thing. When you have that many followers you need to be more truthful. All his answers to anything about the vaccines or mostly anything else is always about the person himself, not what’s good for everyone. “If your 21 and healthy you don’t need the vaccine because you most likely won’t die”. Although true it doesn’t get into anything about what it can do to others as you go on with your unvaccinated life, possibly exposing others and getting them sick and worse death.

Didn't he just announce he tested positive? If so, he's not out of the woods for a rough ride yet.

Why are we still this anti-vax? Seriously I am dumbfounded by the turn of this events. I'm seriously sick of people acting like this is a common occurrence and still, when we are so pathetically unvaccinated not due to resources that people peddle these arguments

Seriously makes me angry and sick to my stomach that people are being this weird about vaccines when likely they're pretty vaccinated for everything else.

I read an older anti-vax article and how it happens but this now? Defies all logic.

Yes.

We were lucky to both be working from home at the request of our employers during the time our kids were virtual and our kids are both a bit older and were pretty tech savvy to begin with. Both schools also gave the kids extra time, which was great until Friday night when they were scrambling to finish assignments before the midnight deadline . A lot of families definitely struggled with it though. I don’t think mandatory online learning is a sustainable option, but at least keeping it as an option would be helpful.

Your point still relies on everyone having had the disease.

I think part of it is that nobody from "the Government" is telling them to get treated with Regeneron like they are being told to get vaccinated. Also, the ridiculous belief that the mRNA vaccines alter your DNA or have some kind of power over your genetics while Regeneron is seen as a medication.

For some ignorant people, when they see the push to get vaccinated coming from "the Government" that translates to them as meaning there is definitely an ulterior motive involved.

News flash: There is not a multi-national, multi-corporation conspiracy to cause harm to the population. If that was the goal, the more successful conspiracy would have been to NOT develop the vaccines.

 

[Heppenheimer]

Personal responsibility. We'll get you expensive treatment "they" don't want you to have access to. The message sells.

Except "we" (I guess "we" in medicine are the "they", and I'm speaking for colleagues in Flordia) do want people to have the treatment. If they meet the criteria.

We also want people to do all the other preventative things so that they don't need the antibody infusion.

A mere 0.2%. Practically nothing.

(Clearly sarcasm for you ghouls.)
