The low ICU numbers by comparison is a good thing as well.

Though we need to understand some risks (immunocompromised, pregnancy, unable to vaccinate etc) can skew the risk levels

There is a balance with everything in life, every part of it whether its in decision making or whatever. The problem is both sides take their places, like the PoC ride in the first scene… fire back and forth across the water at each other never seeing or understanding how the heck the other side can think like they are. If you want to wear masks, go ahead if thats what you need to do for yourself and family.. if you dont want to wear them now that the mandates are gone mostly right now.. dont wear them.

You know what's funny?
Unless someone in your family is immunocompromised (as this point would change things for sure), I am having a hard time understanding how you could reach the conclusion that driving is safer for your family's health than flying even without the mask mandate in place. Statistically, that just isn't accurate with or without COVID. Having people in your family that have taken ill due to COVID but no one has died in a car accident doesn't mean anything. People aren't typically genetically predisposed to car accidents. How much of an increase in risk do you think dropping the mask mandate on a plan really gave us, when masks are still optional? And then to end up in places where there are people anyways? Your choice, your family, but it is not adding up to me...

We enjoy Eatcot a whole bunch
So do we, so do we.
Also enjoy sitting for hours at the outdoor seats Baseline in DHS and getting hammered.
Minor misunderstanding.
Unfortunately not everyone operates in good faith, or has the option to stay home when sick.
And no, I don't wear my mask at home ever, unless there's people I don't know/trust doing work in my house.

I'm all for thoroughly cleaning hotel rooms which I had hoped was happening anyway 
I support access to sanitizer and automatic sinks are a modern miracle. I love that most Disney bathrooms have open main entrance doors.
I never understood the ride cleaning. Anyone with germ concerns can more easily sanitize their hands after riding. There's only so much that makes sense at a busy theme park. The fact that most people still survive their Disney vacation sans sickness is pretty significant.

Even at this stage in the pandemic, this is not good enough for some...

When I see back and forth like this I always remember how worried I was going back to work, the idea of being around thousands of people a day was terrifying after a year of sitting at home isolated, now, after a year of being back to “my normal”, I honestly forget Covid exists 99.9% of the time.
Most people didn’t have a choice, we were forced into confronting the reality of Covid when we went back to work, those who still work from home or are retired may never have to face Covid as we did but I think most will get there eventually anyway, in their own time. They are confronting it at a different time than we did but it’s just as terrifying.
If it weren’t for a friend who is still battling long Covid, she’s going on 4 months, and this forum I think I’d forget Covid even exists. Even interacting with people who choose to still wear masks doesn’t really make me think of Covid anymore, it’s just become the new normal.

are you sure you don't get it? because I bet you actually do understand.
public transportation(which many mask opposers use) was more or less the last holdout which adversely affected those of us who found the regulation arbitrary and unneeded.
Automatic sinks actually are not good. I like to wash my hands with soap and warm water to get rid of more bacteria. Good luck trying to find sinks with that.I'm all for thoroughly cleaning hotel rooms which I had hoped was happening anyway

What does that have to do with whether the sink is automatic?

Or maybe it's you who doesn't understand how this is for many people. We had the extreme anti-maskers who were downright rude about it all the way to the other extreme where we had total fearful people. Most fell between. There is a period of adjustment even if you aren't fond of masks for both. I think you know this though....
Bathroom doors that push out are nice too. People are gross, and I don't want to touch their door handles lolI'm all for thoroughly cleaning hotel rooms which I had hoped was happening anyway

Most I find have warm water, but warm water isn't what really matters anyway
Can’t help you if you have never used an automatic sink before.

I have never seen an automatic sink where you can control the temperature.
Has anyone seen any tracking on impacts besides death and hospitalizations?
I mean, it's super great that both of those are down. At least for the people able to vaccinate successfully. But, there's still a huge spectrum between "sick for a few days" and "hospitalization" with "some level of lingering impacts continuing after 4 months" somewhere on that graph. It would be nice to know how vaccination and other treatments are impacting those other impacts.
I feel like we've anecdotally heard that either variation or vaccination reduced the occurrence of loss of smell/taste. It would be nice to know how the other impacts are being impacted too.
It's not like we talk about park crowds with just the measure of either you get into the park or you're turned away. We discuss the impacts along the way to the waits for different rides.
