Little changes over a few months so I don't see the gain of a season pass. Just go yearly or every 6 months if you're local, or not at all if its during a pandemic.

OK Covid thread, tell me how dumb this is: My family is having a reunion, next week. People have come from across the country and from Canada, as well as local family will all be getting together at some private cabins - noone outside the family. 3 of the attendees are children who cannot be vaccinated yet. Everyone adult has been fully vaccinated, and there will be ~15ish folks in their 60s. This event is going to happen, don't think anything I say will change that. I have a nontrivial condition that, along with this thread, has driven me to hermit the gently caress up the last 18 months, but I've been forced back into working in the office again - I'm keeping my kn94 on all day errday but still. Is there a scenario in which: A) this'd be reasonably safe for the family as a whole B) I could at least keep myself safe while i'm there Right now the considerations/conditions I'm thinking of are that I'd be masked any time I'm indoors except for in the shower (i could time that and ventilate the room ahead of the shower). Outdoors I wouldn't mask 100% of the time, but when I'm going to be near (4-6ft) someone. I am planning to sleep pseudo outside on a porch with large screen windows to allow decent airflow. I really want to go. I was planning to meet my new nephew there as well as get to spend time with my 3 year old niece who lives 1500 miles away and I've seen in person maybe 10 times.

Insanely stupid. like screamingly stupid. People can pass delta outdoors with just passing close contact because that's how loving easy it is to spread. So those kids are going to get it from one of their vaccinated relatives and you might get it from a vaccinated relative and poo poo is just going wild right now. My ear just started ringing looking at this post. silicone thrills has issued a correction as of 22:32 on Aug 3, 2021 |

I can't believe that, at one point in time, a vast swath of this country and many people on this forum believed children were somehow immune to the novel coronavirus.

Penisaurus Sex posted:lmao they absolutely cannot help themselves with the targeted bureaucratic nonsense. It's because the Supreme Court ruled against a blanket ban under CDC authority. They are trying to use this as a workaround to argue that it is targeted and related to emergency public health measures under CDC authority. The Alabama Association of Realtors and the NAR (the group that took the original moratorium case to the Supreme Court) already say they are planning a lawsuit to get an injunction because it is authorized under the CDC. So, we'll see how long it lasts.

C-SPAN Caller posted:Thats what confuses me. Little changes over a few months so I don't see the gain of a season pass. Just go yearly or every 6 months if you're local, or not at all if its during a pandemic. Sometimes it's little changes, sometimes it's a good bit more. Restaurant menus change, there's festivals with special snacks that might interest people, shows and parades that change up or special limited-time performances or decorations. Parties, after-hours events (which you might get discounts on), and so much else. There's a special version of Space Mountain with different effects (which changes the way you feel the ride) that only happens during the Halloween season, for instance. WDW is a lot worse about all of this, but Disneyland's properties are getting there. I get the people who go "but it's just rides". And ultimately it is. But for some, it's a lot more. Go check out the Disney thread in A/T. There's always plenty of talk there. I've flipped and flopped a lot about Disney and what's going on during the pandemic but yeah, with Delta spiking, they shouldn't be open right now. Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary is October 1st and if they closed now, maybe they could open safely around then. Or sorta safely, I guess. Soylent Majority posted:OK Covid thread, tell me how dumb this is: I would say n95/kn94/that type mask and go say hello but don't stay overnight and don't go inside or remove your mask for any reason whatsoever.

Soylent Majority posted:OK Covid thread, tell me how dumb this is: it is not safe, period. if everyone stayed masked... sure it could work. but no one is going to keep their masks on outside (which you should absolutely still keep them on if everyone is getting huggy and kissy). look at the recent summer festivals all popping people positive that were vaccinated and outdoors. look at goon wedding after goon wedding that started with "ok we're doing this all the right way!" and then "oops! 10% of us are positive  "if would be _much_ safer if people actually planned this out with a 14 day quarantine BEFORE the event and AFTER any travel. if that sounds ridiculous and too onerous... then it's a big hint that big meetups during a pandemic maybe aren't safe. but quarantining and testing before meeting would at least let you know the bubble you're about to form is safe. as it is now though.. people are going to be flying in potentially hot and incubating. you have no testing protocol to catch that. no quarantine to stop it. no plans to mask or take other NPIs. clear evidence that the vaccines are not enough protection alone to stop spreading. i mean FFS you could even do antibody tests of everyone involved to know definitively if people have any vaccine antibodies left or worth a drat the whole thing top to bottom is a risk. you might be seeing some of your family alive and free of pain for the last time in their and your life. that's what should be on your mind have fun! tell us how many pop positive

Soylent Majority posted:OK Covid thread, tell me how dumb this is: It's not zero risk, but if you're vaccinated you'll probably end up fine unless you're immunocompromised. Honestly we don't fully know yet, especially about delta and long COVID and vaccines. Like another poster said: it's rolling the dice. The kids who aren't vaccinated probably are the ones most at risk, but who knows really. Right now there is a poo poo ton of uncertainty. I personally wouldn't roll the dice to see my mom, because she's a fuckhead. But I also wouldn't roll the dice right now to even see my best friend without elastomeric respirator use, even though she's easily the most important person in my life and I miss her dearly. Speaking of uncertainty: the CDC and the WH have been really bad at communicating this uncertainty throughout this entire pandemic. Uncertainty is the core of scientific knowledge. We slowly push back the uncertainty through the scientific process. If our most important medical institutions can't communicate uncertainly effectively, then those institutions need to be gutted and replaced with scientists who can communicate uncertainty effectively. Americans (and humans in general) might hate uncertainty, but that's the way science loving works, and it's the only honest way to function.
