yup..our state has to worry about vaccinating a population of 39Million...so congrats to the out of state ppl w/their vaccinations. WDW is wide open (believe me, i'd go to WDW from CA asap but I got 3 dogs to take care of)Congrats on your vaccinations. We are now over two months into trying to vaccinate the first tier, and that tier isn't done yet. They just don't have the vaccine supply yet to give all those people their shots. The imbalance in vaccine availability across the nation is amazing. The first tier was supposed to include anyone over age 65, but one group (Kaiser) imposed a limit of 75 and older because they don't have enough vaccine. That changed last week, and they expanded it to 65 and up. Another medical group started cancelling appointments for first vaccines because promised vaccine did not arrive and they were 90,000 doses short. Last week they got 60,000 addition doses, and today an additional 30,000 doses so they can finally start vaccinating people who were supposed to have been vaccinated in December.
Yep, me and my Minnesota germs will be infecting all of California this fall. Better take cover. In reality: California needs and wants money, so that will rule when they open it up to all, and bet it's not very far away.

California doesn't really need or want money, though. We still have a massive budget surplus. This is why our governor doesn't feel compelled to get our economy open again, and particularly the tourism sector.
Are you living on the same planet as the rest of us?
I live in California. Factually, the state still has a $15 BILLION budget surplus. Factually, the governor is not prioritizing a reopening of the tourism sector and is actually actively discouraging travel into and within the state. I'm living right in the middle of it.

There are still many things to keep in mind if you have been vaccinated. It's not a golden ticket to freedom. In fact, the CDC still recommends against travel for the fully vaccinated. They can't even say for certain how long the vaccination will be effective. https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/08/health/covid-19-vaccine-cdc-guidelines-fully-vaccinated/index.html
I agree with you. There are places like Anaheim that are hurting because their economies rely heavily on tourism. But outside of tourism and other service sectors, the California economy is doing well. It greatly disincentives the government from opening up businesses that encourage people to travel.
I agree, but when we are talking about something like opening a theme park, we're talking about relative risk because certainly as far as the CDC is concerned they would also discourage attending Disneyland. I don't think we can dispute that if you're allowing 20,000 people in a park it would be much safer to have vaccinated people than unvaccinated people?
The ironic part if this was actually about risk/health, is you WANT out of state people ONLY to attend as their number are lower.
Actually, CA has lower numbers than AZ and Utah, when adjusted to cases per capita. Both of those are states that have a lot of Disneyland travelers. We just have a lot more people in CA, so the numbers seem worse, but we are actually lower.The ironic part if this was actually about risk/health, is you WANT out of state people ONLY to attend as their number are lower.
In CA, 1 in every 748 people have died because of Covid. AZ is 1 in 454. New Mexico is 1 in 550. Nationwide it is 1 in 742.Actually, CA has lower numbers than AZ and Utah, when adjusted to cases per capita. Both of those are states that have a lot of Disneyland travelers.

We are lower than most. Looking at Utah, it does look like they are doing better than we are.
But why is he allowing cities to advertise to out of state resident then? The City of San Diego very much wants us there.I live in California.

True! AZ has been a hot spot and off this whole time. We seem to be improving lately... hopefully it stays that way! They just opened capacity of things back to 100% if 6 foot distancing can be maintained, which feels like an oxymoron, haha. Vaccines are open to 55+ now plus all essential workers. I’ve been fully vaccinated for over a month as a teacher. Right or wrong, I guess the sting is the rest of the Disney community is now feeling the repercussions of how shut down and proactive CA has been. And I say that as a fairly Covid conscious person.In CA, 1 in every 748 people have died because of Covid. AZ is 1 in 454. New Mexico is 1 in 550. Nationwide it is 1 in 742.
