Universal's "Getting Closer to Normal" Guidelines

[Evan]

The right decision. You knows things really aren’t going well when Universal does this.

ETA:

Just read UO’s social posts, the comments… I didn’t know universal had become the beacon of hope for all the anti-maskers, the comments do not pass the vibe check. The poor TM’s :'(

Yep - I've noticed a sharp drop in proportion of mask wearing at Target/Publix/etc. since the holiday crowds have rolled in. Anecdotal, but still - have to protect your employees :thumbsup:

I would have preferred Universal to be masks indoors like Disney over the last few months, but good on them for changing course when the circumstances changed.

What if I have Universal Express?

That shouldn't make any difference. Sounds like you wear it in any indoor area or queue/ride regardless of vaccination status or express pass status.

The vibes are not immaculate indeed.

The best part of the pandemic, social distancing, refuses to make a comeback yet again


Also, I doubt this lasts very long tbh, if we're going off of previous years

I think this is sticking until cases go down significantly. I’m guessing not until March. Omicron is going to spread rapidly between now and February.

Remember when we all thought this would be over in two months?

Yes, going by the last two years, it dissipates in March after everyone gets it

However, during the height of Delta, which was much worse, all they did was hang shower curtains in haunted houses

So who really knows what they are gonna do

I can't say that I'm particularly concerned with "increasing cases" at this point

Indoor masks are a reasonable requirement. But given the high transmission of the new variant indoor restaurants are probably going to infect the majority of people traveling that go to one anyways.

For anyone who has visited recently - are TMs enforcing mask wearing in line a lot? Or is it a free for all like it used to be and people take them off for minutes at a time before getting reprimanded?

Mostly a free for all. A lot of guests aren't even aware that they have to wear masks indoors and in queues.

No more masks baby.

Somehow everyone dropped the news then deleted it. Weird.

Twitter is acting up just now, I don't know if it's related.

Edit: Still on Facebook:

I really dislike how they “encourage” unvaccinated guests to wear masks. It’d be easier to mitigate the risk by just checking vaccination status.

They technically can't ask for such information.
I think Desantis banned something like this about a year ago.
