Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

Pull masks. Close enough.

I wish they would. OC is almost certainly going to exceed the 14 days straight of below 5% 14 day average. My fear is they are now going to use the CDC classification for OC. Even though the positivity puts OC in the low range, cases per 100k per 7 days has to be below 50 to be classified as moderate. Currently it is at 94.37. Still need another 47% decrease in cases to get there. That will likely take a few weeks.

I'm sure this has been discussed ad nauseam in this thread, but positivity percentage is about testing, not about cases. You need both low case numbers and low positive rate - one alone isn't sufficient.

Very true, someone at the beginning of this said don't test and there will be no cases........

Low enough in both areas to go back to guidance where vaccinated can drop masks if they want.

Also discussed ad nauseam in this thread, but those aren't the relevant numbers to WDW. You're right that they might make decisions based on them, but those aren't good decisions.

Technically they can drop masks whenever they want and didn't even need to reinstate them indoors. See Universal.

Nothing is ever going to be relevant enough for some. There will always be an excuse.

UPS and Disney executives will be meeting with White House officials to discuss in support of vaccine mandates for private companies. This a step in the right direction.

Do you mean this in the context of employees of Disney or visitors to Disney parks?

Since UPS doesn't have many visitors I am assuming employees.

Have you ever been to a UPS hub? Man, those places are *way* more fun than a Disney park!

Seems like a pointless dog and pony show since Disney already mandated the vaccine for their employees quite some time ago.

Don't upset those guys,one might go postal .

Disney can influence a few.

If they can cause others in industry to change their mind to see vaccines as the right thing to do rather than a mandated thing to do it is all worth it

The mandate has already been declared. Any additional sugarcoating by private industry with/ at the behest of government will be seen as propaganda.

Except this visually looks good to companies wavering. TBH if a few very visible people outwardly promoted vaccination in the first place, we wouldn't be where we are.

That will be an interesting when Disney execs and UPS meet with Biden.

Will it? Sounds like a snooze fest. Lol.
