Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[Andrew C]

“Health Commissioner Dr. Cheryl Bettigole said mask precautions begin Monday, but in order to provide a one-week education period for businesses, masks will be required in all indoor public spaces as of Monday, April 18.”

That, to me, basically reads as we’re giving businesses a week’s heads up so they don’t have to deal with people who haven’t read the news yelling at them or their employees

Philadelphia reinstates indoor mask mandate as COVID-19 cases rise

Health officials cited a rise in COVID cases as the reason that the city is reinstating the mask requirements for indoor public spaces.

Either way, hilarious decision.

Well, our area is back to indoor masking starting next week. First time i think Philadelphia has been first in anything in a long time. Here we go again.

People should know me as a pretty moderate person who follows rules when asked... I even roll my eyes at this one since they seem to be using totally outdated metrics. I'm sorry.

COVID Infection After Age 50 May Increase Risk for Shingles

Catching COVID-19 appears to increase an older person's risk of developing a case of shingles. Researchers found that people 50 and older who had a COVID infection were 15% more likely to develop shingles, compared to people who were never infected. That risk climbed to 21%...

Totally not surprising and article explains why. My MIL developed shingles one summer (the last two summers kind of blurr sorry, cannot recall which but she had it in her eye) after being ill.

Please, anyone that can get the shingles shot, do it. Shingles is not fun. Takes 2 doses months apart, no big deal.. and its very effective.

Disagree. Whether anyone agrees with it or not, the compliance will be high as it was before. With the threat of closing a business and big fines, its will be adhered too. Of course many businesses can do the” check vaccination cards st the door” policy and be open to mask less customers. Many did thst during the last go round and I expect many to do it again.

Agree. There are only 19 counties in the country, that if you go by cdc guidelines should me masking inside. Phildelphia and surrounding areas arent any of them.

Indy is here to get to the bottom of this Philadelphia nonsense and determine who did this.

That's a no brainer. I already got my 2 shots for shingles vaccine. Friends got shingles , got it bad ( 1 got it all over his face including under his eyes ) and wished they got the vaccine. Intense arm pain and fatigue for 1 day after vaccine but better off than getting shingle and insurance covered the $300 2 shot shingles vaccine!

I guess we will see. Seems to me there is a very small, but vocal, percentage of people who are willing to continue along with this. Philly still has a few days to correct this egregious error, hopefully they do.

A point to remember "The Squeaky Wheel Gets the Grease" but is also the first to be replaced!

No jurisdiction gave a week's notice to have an "education period" prior to putting in mandates the prior times. The likely reason that it starts on Monday is to get past Good Friday, Easter and the beginning of Passover so there isn't as much backlash.

There isn't a county within 200 miles of Philadelphia that is recommended to have masking per the CDC guidelines. People in Philadelphia should just refuse to comply en masse. They wouldn't have any chance to enforce it. If they tried to fine or shut down a few "example" businesses, the business would prevail in court due to selective enforcement.

Which is just silly because there will be so many unmasked family gatherings for Easter. If they have concerns, before Easter would be the only legit move.

But mask mandates don't change what people do in their own homes. That aspect is not affected by this. It's really only for large gatherings.

Keep in mind I am all about being responsible when life dictates it but I do worry this will backfire on Philly.

Large gatherings like Easter services?

Large gatherings like Easter services?

That's my thought. Not in home but larger gatherings. There are often community seders and shabbat for Jewish people. Then then Easter services for many Christian people. Catholics specific have also Holy week which means services Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I'm only doing Sat night due to stupid incense and allergies being bad. Many do multiple services. My spouse will do 2.

My point is that if you really have concerns, then waiting until after all these gatherings take place makes no sense.

I was agreeing and expanding on how it looks to me knowing all these take place.
