Uggh--I'm sincerely so sorry. That would be beyond frustrating. I'm in Ohio--it was slow going at first, but has really picked up speed lately. We too are a highly populated state. I know some of the hurdles we had here was administering it--at first doses were going wasted because they were so worried about locking in only eligible people (and they have to use all the doses they get each day at a site)...they seem a lot more willing to open it up at the end of the day if they have surplus doses (i.e. people didn't show up for their shot for whatever reason)...now that it is open to all this is less an issue. I bet they are doing so much to target only certain groups they aren't administering it efficiently (that is my best guess anyway). Good luck to you---and hopefully pixie dust comes to Texas soonWell, Texas is messed up. Plus, here in Austin, a ton of people want to get it. The local health authority, which is one of 3 hubs for the county, has over 250,000 people 65+ or high risk on their waiting list. They are only getting 12,000 a week, so about 20 weeks from now just for those 65+/high risk. NO chance I'll get one from them. They are primarily getting the 2 shot. The other hub is serving lower economic strata and minority groups. I don't know if they just aren't vaccinating quickly enough; however, looking at shots per state on CNN, Texas has usually only administered <5% that what other states have administered percentage wise based upon how many vaccines have been sent to the state. Texas is claiming that the feds are not giving us enough vaccine. Looking at how many adults we have in the state compared to Florida or California, it looks like Texas has been receiving about the right percentage. So, I just don't know. I am seriously thinking of getting it when I go to Oklahoma this summer to drop of our son at the grandparents. I see appointments at CVS available all of the time there. You look at Texas, and every city, except Lubbock, will be unavailable
Yeah, I forgot about the Plexiglass....oh I miss normal....we generally aren't beach people but I am thinking that might be the closest to "normal" vacation we might get this summer (cabin in the woods, etc.).
Disney is a business that relies on guests for profit. They will follow CDC recommendations until it starts costing them money. If they wait until they are the last company with a mask policy, then it will have started costing them money long before that - if their potential patrons have abundant other mask-free options.
I agree with you here, because the CDC is a government medical institution. They are at the forefront because this is a medical emergency. They aren't interested in the economy or the health of American business.
Haha, Florida never had a statewide mask mandate. They also would have let Disney open up at full capacity in the summer. The party ruling the state doesn't care.
That will all depend on case numbers and those are trending in the wrong direction.I am not sure the CDC will actually have that much control over Disney—although I agree the way they lean, they will likely be one of the last to drop it. The State of Florida does not have a mask mandate, but the county Disney is located in does require them at this time. Although it may be a
Long shot for summer, I suspect once they get more vaccinated people, spring break (and I anticipate we will see a bit of surge following spring break), and Disneyland (finally) gets to reopen—there is hope things will relax in Florida by the end of summer. We currently have multiple trips booked, lol—late summer being the first. I suspect once Universal drops that mask mandate Disney will come around real quick.
Absolutely (I suspect—hope anyway) we will only continue to see case numbers go down by June/July (maybe after a spike for spring break). I am optimistic though
