Yeah, gotta make room in ICUs for people who don't get the flu shot.

I agree. But I like the concept of potentially having a rapid test kit in the bathroom and if it shows you positive, you can immediately goto the grocery store and take a pill that will hopefully reduce your symptoms. This would be fast, low cost, and would alleviate some strain on the medical system.
In his weekly presser, Mayor Demings says Orange County is showing the daily positivity rate is currently under 5% (since last Friday). He also reiterates "now is really not the time for us to relax wearing a facial covering".
Dr. Pino says he expects the 14-day roiling positivity to be in the 5% range later this week.

The pill series is $700. The government (we the people) is paying for now. The vaccine is $20. I'm still not sold on rapid tests, too unreliable. They should be followed by a PCR test to verify but it would be so much easier and much lower cost to just go get vaccinated.

Population density is probably the biggest driver here. Nearly all of these orange outside of Duval county are pretty rural. Map below shows population, lightest (fewest) to dark (most).

Population density didn't stop some of those rural counties from having extremely high cases per 100k a month ago. 3-4 times the high population density counties.
It seems the low vaccination and little mitigation allowed the Delta variant to burn through very quickly. Some of those counties were in pretty bad shape for about 2 weeks but came down very quickly.

Their peaks were probably much lower in absolute numbers, so they likely declined quicker.

Did he say when will "really" be the time to relax wearing a facial covering?

It will be time when it’s time.

All I hear is, "Are we there yet?"
And all I want to say is, "Sit there in the back seat and be quiet. You'll know we're there when you see Mickey on the big sign. Don't ask me again. Play on your phone and don't hit your sister."

So in other words, to the question asked, you could have simply said, "I don't know." Or nothing at all. But instead you feel the need to scold others like a cranky parent. Ok, gotcha.

Two weeks after the 14 day average gets and stays below 5%, right now it's not there. Late this month/early November.

Some guests won’t return until they do. That will be all the motivation Disney needs at the first justifiable opportunity.

No need to shout. However, Mayor Demmings offered up his words of that it's not the time. Perhaps he'd have been better off abstaining from offering up such a comment as he opened the door to further questions? This is why such questions are being asked.

And some won't go if it's a covid free-for-all.
Exactly, and Disney can't keep going no matter what if their Cast Members are getting sick and creating voids and spreading exposure.
