I’ve heard versions of this going back to when the parks first reopened, and I’ve never understood it. I suppose it makes sense if you spend none of your visit unmasked indoors, but otherwise, Disney seems to me a reasonably high-risk place to be.
Positive
Wear a mask when in public. Test after like 5 days. They are finding omicron is much shorter incubation period too - like 2-4 days vs the longer original up to 14 days.
Our school has stopped contact tracing, so I would assume if you don't have symptoms and test, nothing. But, I wanted to see what the CDC site said.
www.cdc.gov
They must all really not want you showing up anyway.
The whole "you can go out masked" part from the CDC sounds fishy to me too. And, it assumes people do it right and don't just read it as "you can go out
I've read a lot of discussions about how contagious for how long and if a positive test truly means something after 10 days or not. It's nuts how it is changing and not just here, but globally.They must all really not want you showing up anyway.
The whole "you can go out masked" part from the CDC sounds fishy to me too. And, it assumes people do it right and don't just read it as "you can go outmasked".
I read a twitter story recently of a parent (an infectious disease doctor I think) getting a hard time from their kid's school for not sending them back on day 6. The parent was telling them "the at home test is still bright red 2 lines" and at first the school was like "sure, just send them back it's been 5 days". The school talked to someone more exciting and agreed that the kid should stay home until the test didn't show positive anymore.
I think the trend here is, the CDC and general guidance is concerned with preventing the healthcare system from collapsing. It doesn't really care about an individual, just the system. So, as long as an individual isn't going to crash the system, it's all fine and just "whatever".
Science is not a stagnant thing. Science evolves as more is learned.
Or manipulated.
On the contrary, the opposite. We trust science to learn what is right. The variants have changed things from how long incubation is and vaccines have helped with duration and length of contagion. We adjust and adapt to what we learn with our scientific studies.
Especially political science.
Respectfully this isn’t what people were alluding to.This very sad milestone has been officially recognised (some people last week were asking why it hadn’t been):
United States passes one million Covid deaths
It's the highest total in the world - but the WHO thinks the true death toll may be higher elsewhere.www.bbc.co.uk
Then I suppose the subtext was lost on me. All I was pointing out is that the event has received official recognition.
Many highly vaccinated countries have had record high covid cases during the Omicron stage. It's why we have pivoted from cases to hospitalizations to determine how bad covid is in a particular area. I'm here simply saying do what you feel is best for you and let's not belittle and desire to segregate one another because they choose a different way to protect oneself, even more so if transmission isn't being inhibited by the vaccine.
To answer the the natural immunity thing; yes we disagree with that. I've personally seen many more positive vaccinated individuals than I have recovered unvaccinated getting it twice. It happens yes, I've just seen many more vaccinated. Now maybe it just could be that there are more vaccinated than unvaccinated, and that's why I see more? Who truly knows right now.
