Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[jlhwdw]

When you say things like this it makes me think that you have never been involved in formulating a business plan or investing in a business. You can't just "adapt."

Let's say you own a hotel in Vegas and you decided in 2017 that if you invest $100 million in a convention center it will be a profitable venture. You work with a bank to get a 20 year loan that will cost $8.6 million a year and calculate that it will bring your hotel a net revenue of $10 million per year, giving you a $2.4 million per year profit.

How, exactly, do you adapt if businesses stop having the meetings and conventions that give you the revenue to support the investment?

What about even simple things in Vegas like food court restaurants that agreed to a certain rent based on the expected customer base. Now the customer base is much lower. Now you'll say well the landlord will just have to cut them a break. Well, again, the landlord invested in the construction based on the assumption of how much rent they can get.

It's easy to say that businesses will have to adapt. It is much more difficult to actually do it for many businesses.

Unfortunately for these businesses we are in a situation where a business model from as recently as February 2020 is outdated and not practical. If we have learned anything in the last almost two years, it's that we aren't going back to the before times.

I get that it sucks for them. But if the solution is to just keep sending large groups to be superspreader events during a bad wave, what does that say about our priorities?

Also, at the risk of perpetuating a stereotype, I can't help but wonder what the vaccine rate is among country music fans.

The vax rate in Nashville is 63% fully and 68% one dose.

Did I say something in my post that was untrue? I have a chronic disease that a have grabbed by the balls and beat into oblivion. I did that by researching, experimenting, and hard work.

You’re a horrible person for studying up and trying to conquer an illness that affects you. How dare you. You should always believe Drs you’ve never met and know-it-alls on the internet. Hasn’t this pandemic taught you anything? You should be ashamed for having an illness that somehow makes you an anti-vaxxer.

To “stop the spread” I highly recommend kissing your girlfriend with a mask on like these two fine outstanding New Yorkers.

Person is to be released soon they think. I've known a couple who had them back to back. Having vaccines for both can help too.

But not at the same time, right? How is that relevant? Where did you read this person was being released soon?

Your obsession of trying to shame NYC and own the people who are taking reasonable precautions during a worldwide pandemic that has killed well over 800,000 Americans and counting is starting to veer into the category of repulsive.

You should go back and read more carefully.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

You can get them at the same time.

But Bristol that claims to be the home of country (I agree) is less than 50%. The whole tri cities area is one of the lowest in either VA or TN

In the article stated they plan to release next week. Not covid, but I know some people who have picked up flu and strep or the like simultaneously. It's bad luck but that's all this is. Not sure why this is even news.

I guess that gives new meaning to being safe with your girlfriend!

But that’s not covid and flu at the same time, this is new territory.

Nah, I didn’t detect a condescending tone at all. The guy was relaying his personal experience in the battle and what worked for him, something any Dr would like to take note of. I didn’t think any of his comments were disparaging.

He repeatedly corrected doctors to bolster the point of an anti-vaxxer.

It's covid and flu yes. While covid is newer, having something like this is possible. This is also not the first or even second case https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/11/covid-flu-same-time/620729/

I was referring to the diabetes and doctors handling of it though, something I have experience with through a family member and the guy is correct on that. Wasn’t paying attention to the rest apparently.

First Case of 'Flurona,' Flu & COVID-19, Detected in Israel

A woman in Israel has been admitted to the hospital with a rare infection of both COVID-19 and influenza, which is being dubbed "flurona."

Sounds like a very good reason to be masking, distancing and washing.
If we could cast our short memories way back to 2020 flu season to see we can avoid flu. Bonus is it helps avoid covid as well.
So many just don't want to do the simple steps that are proven to work because it takes a little effort on their part. But it's not HARD!

I know it’s possible, I just hadn’t heard of it before. Obviously not a big deal since it hasn’t made the news as much.

I've been watching the college bowl games today New Years Day on TV. Stadiums packed with fans not a mask wearer in sight.
