Phase 3 will not happen until the rolling positivity is below 5% for 14 consecutive days. The current rate is 4.5%.

Mayor Demings suggests that Phase 3 could be hit on Friday.

Here is the current vaccination status for Orange County -

What is interesting is they are using 16+ instead of either 18+ or 12+. FL is at 59.9% of 18+ but I wonder if adding in 16 and 17 year olds drags the number down.

It's been below 5% (14 day average) for well over a week .

This is all political nonsense at this point. It's hilarious.

They first removed rapid tests. Now what are they doing... adding sniffles to the number? People who sneezed at the doctors office? Hilarious

It has been at that level for 11 days, needs to be 14 days. Nothing hilarious or political about that.

Orange County mayor expects to lift all mask and social distancing requirements on Friday - potentially clearing the way for Disney to eliminate masks at the Disney World theme parks​

We are likely to see all mask requirements dropped at Walt Disney World in the very near future.

No. It hasn't. It's been below 5% for way more than 11 days.

There is much to look forward to on this Memorial Day weekend. Coronavirus infections and deaths continue to decline. Fully vaccinated family members can enjoy their time with one another – both indoors and outdoors – without a mask.

Right now, 53.96 percent of Orange County residents have received at least one dose of the vaccine. Our 14-day rolling positivity rate is 4.7 percent. These are great numbers that we want to maintain.

I ask any resident who has not been vaccinated to please do so. Please help us contain this deadly disease, and continue our return to normalcy. We do not want to see a spike in COVID-19 infections like we did after Memorial Day 2020.

Have a safe weekend, and may we all continue to honor the military personnel who made the ultimate sacrifice serving our country.

– Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings


I guess he got his numbers wrong last Friday. Hilarious.

Dr. Pino says 36.9% of Orange County is fully vaccinated.

I also would like free beer, but not for doing the bare minimum I can do... but in Canada we don't get these bribes, we are vaccinating voluntarily.

The stuff they make isn’t really beer.. don’t worry, you are not missing anything.

Apparently it's 14 days AFTER hitting the 14 day rolling average. So... he pushed the goal posts back. But ya.. TOTALLY not poltical at this point. Ha

That is nothing to be proud about . That percentage is ridiculous.

 

[danlb_2000]

You mean the emails where he mostly just notes that he hasn't been this busy since internship?

I read a couple articles on this haven't really seen anything earth shattering in any of them.

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

So Dr Fauci isn't giving out free beer? I'm confused

Noooo Dr. Fauci will personally be setting off the Sorcery in the Sky Fireworks next Saturday after telling Chapek “hold my beer” - goodness it’s like people just type whatever they feel like in this thread!

 

[EricsBiscuit]

You should have done your research before going on your Disney vacation but they will gladly take your $$.

LOL. I’m a local who goes weekly to WDW and UOR. Just saying I didn’t like the masks haha

 

[Mark52479]

I think Disney will wait until the weekend and then drop the masks.

They will want to be in step with OC.

Wow... that's a terrible number.

 

[ABQ]

Wow... that's a terrible number.

Agreed, though I would like to know the entire population that's being thrown into that number. Did they just open up to 12 year's and up in the past couple weeks adding some large number to the population that has not been eligible more than a month?

Why do you care so much? Do you live here?

The 7-day moving average of first doses has dropped to its lowest level since January 8. From the CDC:

He’s a politician and an elected official so doesn’t that make his policy decisions political by default?

Not shocking considering it was a holiday weekend and travel was at an all time pandemic high point. We’ve seen the lows and highs from early week to end of week. Levels are going down but that’s not really avoidable as we creep closer and closer to the total number of people interested in getting vaccinated. Outside of more lotteries or giveaways the only thing left now that could create a bump in doses is Pfizer and/or Moderna receiving full FDA approval.
