Rochelle Walensky just dodged answering the question on whether or not the CDC will recommend extending the public transit mask rules beyond the March expiration date on today's CDC telebriefing. Just said "We'll be revisiting that in the coming weeks"

Do we think Disney will reinstitute their mandate as a result? Hopefully they don’t.

They dropped it when Orange County was still red. I don't think it got any redder.

I doubt it. Cases and I thought I saw that hospitalizations are dropping.
We also have to realize that a good portion of the people traveling to the parks live in different areas. My area is medium but from the data I've seen quickly heading towards low. We still have mandates here.
Though I wouldn't be surprised if this causes many to lift.
If they change it back I’m gonna be hella ed!!!! I’d have to cancel yet another trip. I planned it last weekend after they dropped the masks. I’ve been waiting to go back and not wear a mask. I missed my window last summer

Also, the daily average is Orange County is about half what it was when they announced the mandate was ending last week, and will presumably fall further. They certainly won’t bring the mandate back for a week.

I get your frustration and I can almost promise you they're going to end it as scheduled. But she would be incredibly irresponsible and commit career suicide if she gave a definitive answer right now before it was 100% decided by those above her. She gave the best answer she could give whether we like it or not. I'd like to guarantee you it's going to end when everybody says it's going to end but if she confirmed that then she would be crucified if they somehow and for some reason decided to extend it again.

It actually doesn't personally affect me. My next trip is under the mandate so extension or not, I'm there. I find it irresponsible tbh to not allow people to plan is all. I get your point though.

Disney should be able to remove masks from buses after today. Let’s see if that happens.
am i misunderstanding? "public or private school systems" Disney is not a school system. This is for school buses.

Enough that the CDC saw to make the distinction.

Please explain it to me. Why would a school bus be safe, and a public bus to be dangerous?

Unless I'm missing it, I don't think it lets you see the data for each individual county that feeds into the metrics. The old case rate based map showed the data for the county if you clicked on it.
Since they use the highest single metric to determine, one of the metrics could be over by 0.1 and it makes it red. Without seeing the data, we can't really tell.
I also don't see if it is considering somebody a COVID patient if they are in the hospital and test positive or if they are only counting people in the hospital due to COVID. If it is the former then they've basically kept the old case rate based metric in a new form because whatever percentage of the population is positive you'd expect around the same percentage of people who go to the hospital for anything to test positive.
