I have some really good friends who just spent 14 days in Orlando between Disney and Universal all tested positive for covid upon return. One of them was congested , took a home test and it was positive. The other 9 people tested positive but have no symptoms. My friend is very upset about being exposed and catching coivd but I was like what did you expect going maskless in a crazy crowded amusement park. I love my friend but I don't understand how this is anything but her own fault but according to her both parks should be testing before allowing entry.

It truly is, all about personal responsibility. Granted it would seem that the current variants are not harmful, but its still as contagious. Cramming into a queue with thousands of strangers touching the same railings is bound to expose you eventually.

LOL.

Taking personal ownership for our choices is such a rare trait in 2022.

I've had covid 3x and it gets less severe each time. It seems rather mild for your friend's travel group.

We are on a travel board so I presume most of us travel pretty often (whether to WDW or elsewhere). Catching respiratory illness while on vacation is a significant risk of traveling. I know I've gotten a cold on vacation multiple times. But I still love traveling. If one does not wish to get sick ever and will be angry if they do, they need to avoid anywhere with other people.

Your friend should rent an AirBnB in the middle of no where in North Dakota...

If your friend got her wish and WDW and UO required COVID testing for entry, I guess we'd finally have a solution for overcrowded parks!

I was planning on getting my 2nd booster this week but after having covid this past week should I still get it? I have read while I have been out that getting covid is almost like another booster. Should I proceed in getting it this week in prep for Disney over the 4th or is my immune system good with 2 shots/booster and covid recently?

You probably should discuss with your Dr.

If you are eligible I would get it.

No kidding. I wouldn't bother going myself.

Clearly covid is spread through 5g antennas exclusively but it has not been disproven that surface contact then touching your face isn't a cause for transfer... Unless the rules have changed again.

It's been shown to be super rare. Not really considered a cause of transmission
