What’s the percent positive metric that triggers phase 3? Under 5% but for how long? I believe the simple average of the 14 days is under 5 based on those numbers.

I'll still a Millenium Force guy. Though I also really like Steel Vengeance (which I've heard aptly described as a cross between Millenium Force and Maverick).
Cedar Point vs. Disney is to me a bit like comparing a great pizza with a great steak - both food, but different things. sometimes you are in the mood for a thrill ride, and some times for themeing/immersion/entertainment. (Which is why Disney needs to get back to the entertainment part and not just get the rides running.)

You know what's funny?
I welcome germs from my kids. Not only does it build up their immune system, it helps mine remain active.
Rolling 14 day positivity IIRC.

I believe the only way they can do it is outdoors. And I think Orange County is going to give them a big hand with that today.

Good read with the stories of 9 people who were vaccine hesitant but changed their minds and got the shot. Shows that not everyone who hasn’t gotten vaccinated is an anti-vaxxer or a Trump fanatical Q-Anon conspiracy theorist. These are regular people with regular concerns and in almost all cases a discussion with a person they trusted lead to them eventually changing their mind. This is why I still hold out hope we get between 70 and 80% of adults vaccinated.

Good question. I agree that it will be outdoor only at first. I think ultimately it could be a few more months before we see indoor masks gone. Even then they may be required in certain cases like on buses which are still required even for vaccinated people under the CDC guidelines from yesterday.

I am not DOING the "15+ months it’s really hard to believe we are still doing the Covid is just the flu thing". I ASKED a simple question on what you meant. I never said this "Covid is just the flu thing." TYVM

Yeah, the cryptic way he spoke about it leads me to believe it will not be a full dropping of masks.

Don't forget there are also people who cannot be vaccinated for legitimate medical reasons. They're a big reason we want herd immunity.
I don't have sympathy either, for people who willingly put themselves at risk, but there is a bigger picture to consider.
I want those immune compromised people to be able to enjoy things like WDW as well, without being in danger.

You have way more faith in people then I do. The "mAH freedom" crowd doesn't give much hope. Now with the mask mandates being relaxed before the majority are vaccinated gives me little hope. It's why I like the goal that has been set out here. No loosening of restrictions til the majority of the whole country is vaccinated. Having so many pockets with low vaccination rates keeps Covid around longer then it needs to be.Good read with the stories of 9 people who were vaccine hesitant but changed their minds and got the shot.

I believe Mayor Demmings said phase 3 is when 50% of OC residents have been vaccinated.
That should be today.
OC will probably drop outdoor masks any day now.

Outdoor and soon. Inside for a while?

The “mah freedom” crowd aren’t the only people not vaccinated. That’s the whole point. 20% of people say they won’t get the vaccine no matter what. That’s that crowd and it’s 60-70M people so not insignificant, but there are even more people who are unvaccinated that aren’t in that crowd. They have various reasons they didn’t get vaccinated yet. The key to getting to 70-80% vaccinated is reaching those people. Assuming they are all just in the mah freedom crowd isn’t helping.

Agreed. And that while could be a short while if things escalate quickly everywhere else. I still think probably end of June but stuff is moving fast and especially if vaccination pace continues or upticks and cases continue to drop despite dropping masks a lot of places. We will know more in a few weeks to a month.

Trader Joe's just announced that they're dropping the mask mandate...one of the first retailers to do so.

I was wondering if they skip phase 2 and leapfrog to 3. It was supposed to be 70% vaccinated but they left the 14 day percent positive under 5% loophole in there which is technically hit. Will they just say right to phase 3 based on CDC guidance and percent positive?
