Proof of Vaccination or Negative COVID Test required for theme parks soon?

[mickEblu]

Isn't it great?!? Our tax dollars at work.

I've seen tourists having their photo taken with those signs at the Disneyland entrances. It's like getting your picture taken with the HOLLYWOOD sign or in front of an In-N-Out.

I forgot to mention Case Rates. They continue to be over 25% higher in LA County even a week after the vaccine mandate took effect up in LA. Orange County has noticeably lower Case Rates per capita.

Case Rates as of November 12th, 2021 Per Capita
LA County = 180 Cases Per 100,000 Residents
Orange County = 119 Cases Per 100,000 Residents

Looks like they ve already backtracked on malls and shopping centers. Leaving what, indoor restaurants, gyms and salons? It doesnt matter anyway. I don’t see the smaller mom and pop restaurants or salons turning business away. I’m guessing this will only be enforced at gyms and big chain restaurants/ salons/ spas if anything. Movie theatres? Are they really going to have the 16 year old ticket taker checking?

LA City Council approves changes to its strict vaccine mandate for many indoor businesses

Just days after being implemented, the city of L.A. approved changes to its vaccine mandate for certain indoor areas, including restaurants, gyms and entertainment or recreational facilities.

These are rules dreamed up by idiot bureaucrats, so no wonder they are now figuring out a shopping mall isn't going to stop everyone on the way in through dozens of entry doors to check vaccination status.

This article reminded me of this thread. Covid-19 is over, except for a handful of big cities where the local bureaucrats don't want to give it up.

LA County = Mandatory Masks For Everyone! Vaccination Checks! Higher Covid Case Rates!
Orange County = No Masks, Just Smiles. No Vaccination Checks. Lower Covid Case Rates.

There are entire states that have just gone back to normal. There is no national strategy on any of this stuff. Much of the country, beyond Lxs Angelxs County, has already moved on.

When will COVID-19 take the grip off of our lives? When will we "return to normal." What if the answer is ... never.

Is spelling it as "Lxs Angelxs County" intentional? X is closer to A than E and O on the keyboard but you manage to type A.

I've done some traveling lately, and had to show a photo of my CDC card. But it was only checked in the most casual pretend-to-look-at-customer's-phone-over-counter way possible.

If you want a record of vaccines you've received, try getting one from Sacramento. Here's the website (although when I did this earlier this year, they sent me a record that was missing two shots I know for a fact I received in recent years). But it's at least something...

I wonder if it says on mine that I was allergic to the TB test and caused great difficulty every time I had to get it..

either way, this is a great resource!!!!

I'm so glad you responded, because I forgot to update this for you before I got busy over the weekend.

I went and registered and sent away for my record last week, and in a shocking fit of bureaucratic efficiency, they actually sent me a secure link to my complete vaccination record within about 36 hours! When I got that in my email I thought "Ooh, Dear Prudence will love this!" but then I forgot to tell you.

I hope you are as succesful as I was with this.

Over 2 weeks since my booster, meaning that I am fully boosted, and I have not grown ears, a tail, or exhibited any of the X-Men powers I keep being threatened with. No full moon werewolfy type activities, either! Golly, what a scam! I guess I'll just have to celebrate being protected with going back to Disneyland.

Has anyone gone to one of the non-Disney amusement parks that do require proof of vaccination yet?

I got mine fast too but it's not correct. Not that I expect them to have my records from the '50s and '60s but it's missing some from this century.

I FINALLY GOT MY COVID VACCINE RECORDS SORTED OUT AND CAN NOW GET MY FREE DONUTS!!!!!!

Whoa, whoa, whoa there. Let's step back for a minute. Who was promising X-Men powers and how many boosters do you need to level up to that?

Update on my donut

I smashed it by accident within 10 seconds of getting it trying to get my mask off

I've got a busy weekend starting tomorrow, the kids now call it "friendsgiving", so let's do this now, shall we?

Vaccinations in SoCal continue on their usual trend. San Diego in first, OC in second, LA in third, followed by the Inland Empire.

Vaccination Rates for All Ages, November 17th.
State of California = 61.9% Fully Vaccinated

San Diego County = 67.2% Fully Vaccinated
Orange County = 64.5% Fully Vaccinated
Lxs Angelxs County = 63.5% Fully Vaccinated

And four months after countywide mask mandates returned for LA County , and two weeks after the countywide vaccine mandate kicked in for LA County, they still lag behind Orange County for Case Rates.

LA County = 165 Cases Per 100,000 Residents
Orange County = 114 Cases Per 100,000 Residents

I ran errands this morning in Orange County and had friendly, maskless employees help and assist me at these locations;

• Auto Club of California, Anaheim Hills branch
• Farmers & Merchants Bank
• Trader Joe's
• Ralph's Fresh Fare
• In-N-Out (for celebratory chocolate shake for getting all my errands done!)

At one point during that maskless round of errands I realized we hadn't updated this thread with misinformation hard data and statistics from the California Department of Public Health. So let's do it!

Case Rates continue to be steady, and also continue to be noticeably much lower in Orange County than LA County, even though Orange County has much higher testing rates per capita (that would theoretically find more cases if they existed in OC).

Orange County - 107 Cases Per 100,000
LA County - 148 Cases Per 100,000

 

[TP2000]

Meanwhile, Vaccination Rates in SoCal continue on their trend. LA County has slightly closed the gap between OC and San Diego, but still remains in third place for a vaccinated populace. As of December 2nd, for all ages...

State of California = 63.0% Fully Vaccinated

San Diege County = 68.4% Fully Vaccinated
Orange County = 65.5% Fully Vaccinated
Lxs Angelxs County = 64.8% Fully Vaccinated
Riverside County = 53.5% Fully Vaccinated
San Bernardine County = 50.3% Fully Vaccinated

So, uh, any indication Disney is going to start asking for proof of vaxx yet? Anyone go to another park that requires it?

Meanwhile, we are at about 85-90+% vaccinated by all of those who are eligible.

Meanwhile, we are at about 85-90+% vaccinated by all of those who are eligible.

And yet that's not how the California Department of Public Health tracks it. They're lumping all Californians together on their vaccine stats they release publicly, from infants on up.

I'm out of the loop on children. Who is eligible for vaccines now? Is it still 12 and over? Or did they get down into the grammar school ages now?

EDIT: I Googled. We're now at 5 year olds and above for the Covid shot.

Are you talking Los Angeles County @Dear Prudence? Their current demographic stats for 5 Years and older on their Vaccine dashboard are, as of November 28th:

LA County Ages 5+ Fully Vaccinated = 67.6%

Asians = 74.9% Fully Vaccinated
Whites = 66.8% Fully Vaccinated
American Indians = 65.7% Fully Vaccinated (Indians had historically been in 2nd place, ahead of Whites)
Latinos = 52.5% Fully Vaccinated
Blacks = 49.0% Fully Vaccinated

Ages 65 & Over = 87.4% Fully Vaccinated
Ages 18 to 29 = 66.6% Fully Vaccinated
Ages 5 to 11 = 0.9% Fully Vaccinated

Females Ages 5+ = 69.8% Fully Vaccinated
Males Ages 5+ = 65.1% Fully Vaccinated

So the young, male, Black resident of Los Angeles County is the least likely to be vaccinated.

The zip code map for LA County has stayed the same; beachy or hilly affluent zip codes and inland middle-class suburban zip codes are highly vaccinated, while working class zip codes in South and Central LA proper are the least vaccinated.

My state has been completely back to 'normal' since the beginning of the year. It's mind-blowing that California is still holding on so strongly.

California is a huge state. 40 Million people, even after many recently left and we lost a seat in the House of Representatives for the first time in history. California is roughly the physical size of Germany. If it seceded from the Union, California would be the 5th largest economy in the world. (For now.)

Luckily, California also has counties. Most Southern California counties have populations that dwarf many entire states. LA County has over 10 Million people, and Orange County has over 3 Million. The county level in California is where a lot of the Covid related strategy is decided and implemented. San Diego and Orange County are very different than LA County.

LA County has mandatory mask mandates, and now a mandatory vaccine mandate to be able to trade in public or engage in commercial business. But San Diego and Orange County has no mask mandate, and no vaccine mandate. It can be surreal to drive 1 mile across the LA/Orange county border and feel like you are entering a different world when it comes to masks and Covid fear and restaurant hostesses demanding to see vaccine proof. But there it is. California!

 

[TP2000]

The irony, of course, is that a full month after LA County bureaucrats implemented the strictest mask and vaccine mandates in the nation...

Orange County still has a higher vaccination rate and much lower case rates per capita.

Funny how that works. Personal liberty.
