D&D and the rising pandemic

[GreyLord]

I don't want to jinx this, but...

My wife and I usually take a vacation in the wintertime. We didn't last year, for obvious reasons.
This year, we planned one back some time ago, because things started looking good. Now, we are nervous.

I checked, however, and at the moment, our intended destination has roughly 10% of the case rate, per capita, that my home area does. If that holds, it'll be safer to go on vacation than to stay home!

Knock on frikken wood!

If it's Florida, just know that there are agencies that flat out lie about the numbers. Florida numbers are unreliable...but our death count (as in all deaths, not just those attributed to Covid-19...look at excess deaths compared to 2019 for example) actually sort of shows what really is happening.

Nope.

C'mon, Umbran is not going to risk going to Florida (of all places). He's no fool!

Including any students who were exposed but not sick. Instead of getting them tested before allowing them to depart. Keep the infected on campus and cure them. Then they can go home for the remaining holiday.

The University does not have the authority to do that.

I have my moments.

I have a friend who is moving to Florida. I find that hard to fathom, even from the context that the House of Mouse is pretty much his favorite place on the planet.

It's a point of pride, and perhaps shame, for me that I have never been to Disneyland. Or -World, for that matter.

I find the park's good for one visit a decade or so, for me. The cruise line has been a miracle, up until covid-times. Now... it'll be some time before I'm getting on a boat.

I had an Alaskan cruise booked when Covid hit. (My first ever attempt at a cruise). It took me six months to get my money back, and I don't think I'll ever want to try it again. Shame. I love the sea.

The summer of 2019 my family took an Alaskan cruise, which will probably be my last time being on a cruise ship for multiple decades. We had also planned a trip to Disney World in Florida for March of 2020, because my sister worked there for their Disney-college program and we got some free tickets as a benefit. We almost went, back before we knew how big of a problem Covid was going to be, but as the news eventually came out we (wisely) decided against it.

The few times I’ve been were some of the best times I’ve ever spent at amusement parks.

As a kid, I got to see an early live performance of the Muppets, as well as another by Japanese Kodo drummers.

A decade+ later, had a blast at the just-recently-opened EPCOT.
