Mandates have been gone in all of Florida since 7/1/21 at latest. I can only assume that Disney will go by the CDC guidelines for the area. Possibly delayed by a few weeks for a buffer. Depending on timing they might wait for at least 3 weeks to pass from the 5-11 approval of the Pfizer vaccine.
That and some federal aid comes on a per pupil per day basis so......
So how far are we from Orange Co meeting that?
Well we leave WDW on October 28. So by my calculation - and based on what happened to us in May - my guess would be 19 days.

Seriously, though, doesn’t less than 50 cases per 100k seem so low as to be unobtainable? I’m not sure the CDC is ever going to let us take these things off.
Oh I’ll bet Disney removes them according to the CDC guidelines. It’s just that the guidelines seem daunting and the CDC doesn’t have the best record as far as consistency.
From the CDC website: as of Friday Orange County had 1,616 cases per day 7 day average. Orange County has a population of 1,393,000. Doing the math approx 116 cases per 100k (red) with a 6.09% positivity (orange range.). If cases keep decreasing we should see Orange County go Orange (cases <100 per 100k) next week. Could be yellow before Halloween.
You needn't lecture me. I gave up my full time career to be primary caregiver for my children. I enjoyed any bonus time I ever got with my kids at home. I loved snow days. I relished Christmas break and mourned when I gave them up each fall.

Oh boy, everyone should prepare themselves of the onslaught of "Oh, so Merck has rebranded Ivermectin as Molnupiravir" Neither really rolls of the tongue."Merck said Monday it asked the Food and Drug Administration to authorize emergency use of its experimental antiviral pill to treat mild-to-moderate Covid-19 in adults.
The U.S. drugmaker’s request came after phase three clinical trial data released on October 1 showed the medication – known as molnupiravir – reduced the chances that patients newly diagnosed with Covid would be hospitalized by about 50%.
The drug works by inhibiting the replication of the virus inside the body. Unlike Gilead Sciences’ intravenous drug remdesivir, Merck’s molnupiravir can be taken by mouth. If approved by U.S. regulators, it would be the first pill to treat Covid, a potentially game-changing advancement in the fight against the virus, which is killing an average of more than 1,600 Americans per day.
“The extraordinary impact of this pandemic demands that we move with unprecedented
urgency, and that is what our teams have done by submitting this application for molnupiravir to the FDA within 10 days of receiving the data,” Merck CEO Robert Davis said in a press release.
The pill could be available to Americans by late this year. Merck, which developed the drug with Ridgeback Biotherapeutics, said it is actively working with regulatory agencies worldwide to submit applications for emergency use or authorization “in the coming months.”
The company agreed earlier this year to supply the U.S. with around 1.7 million courses of molnupiravir if it receives emergency use authorization or full approval from the FDA. According to The New York Times, a five-day course of the medication will cost the federal government about $700 per patient, a third of the current cost of monoclonal antibodies."
Merck asks FDA to authorize antiviral Covid pill for emergency use
The Covid-19 treatment – known as molnupiravir – could be available to Americans by late this year.
I would say "Very useful additional tool in the arsenal", but not quite a game-changer yet. Vaccines and the monoclonal antibody infusions already do most of the work of this medication. The biggest difference is that an oral medication is much more scalable than an infusion. And in general, people usually show far less resistance to taking pills than an injection. I've found that in at least some people, all the resistance phrased as "I'm not putting that in my body!" is really just a mental construct to justify a simple fear of needles."Merck said Monday it asked the Food and Drug Administration to authorize emergency use of its experimental antiviral pill to treat mild-to-moderate Covid-19 in adults.

You know that wearing masks and being vaccinated lowers the peak but also widens the surge curve too right? Their slope is less severe because of it, they’ll get there. Everyone wanted to compare CA to FL this summer when they bit spiked, CA has a whole lot more orange and will have yellow counties likely this week.
Exactly. Outside of vaccination which can reduce the total deaths and severe illnesses, all that mitigation measures accomplish is spreading out the cases and lowering the peak. Kind of like how Fauci drew with his finger in an early press conference before we started pretending that the goal of mitigation was to save lives and end COVID.
