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?
I assume that’s only when allowed per state and local mandates. For example NJ still hasn’t dropped indoor masks even for fully vaccinated people.
It's why I still maintain they should have set a national goal of 70% of people vaccinated before the CDC recommends dropping of masks. It would help get some of those people on the fence to get vaccinated. I just the new messaging goes against that. Seeing businesses dropping mask mandates already will push some on the fence to not get vaccinated cause what's the point.
More than likely. However after reading through the article a little more it states that they're actually still making employees wear masks, just not customers lol.
This should have happened weeks ago.
The one that has what I need, at the best price, and is the most convenient.
I don't know - maybe not getting COVID?
I can't help but to have developed a cynical view on this. I think they realized that herd immunity/70%+ wasn't going to statistically happen nearly quickly enough, if at all, the way things are going, so they have changed the messaging in a last ditch effort to try to increase willingness for people to get the vaccine. I think people forget that the goal of the CDC is to handle the messaging to get people to behave how they want us to behave. The messaging is well-planned and coordinated - it was the White House announcement that was the most "slick" and clearly "marketing material" more than anything else.
I don't know with the governors latest actions the phased approach doesn't have the teeth it use to. But if the Mayor had been consulting with local businesses and theme parks and they were on board with the approach, he could very well follow the current stages and make it a local "recommendation" instead of mandate.
Today at 430pm he will be talking. My guess is he will announce phase 2.
All things are def pointing to them getting rid of outdoor masks. The county today will def help that along.
I never understood that. You're walking from the lobby at the Coronado to your room... and you need to wear a mask? I guess? Seems more like a simple "one size fits all approach"... minus the water parks... which still raises questions to me about masks outside. Buy that's a discussion for another time
That crowd is just, what's that hashtag they use.... Oh yes, they've just been #virtuesignaling since day one that they know better than anyone else. Or at least, anyone who disagrees with them. I'm also seeing a lot of #cancellation of those who seem to want to continue wearing masks, even those who have been vaccinated.
It’s on our list for next time. Did t get a chance last time due to being there for a soccer tournament not for cedar point itself.
I have a much more cynical view (imagine that). Businesses/corporations couldn't take another day of this, what's it called, 'security theater', so something had to give. Follow the money is my mantra.
Welcome to the boards! You picked a great time to visit!
Been a long time lurker.
I'm in FL as well. Daily life won't change too much with this.......
