What's Still On and What's Now Off

[EricsBiscuit]

I don’t think I said they weren’t popular. Just not as popular as expected but hey. My other comment about a busy park as a poor measure of popularity still stands though.

And thank you.

I just don’t think people would go to the parks if they weren’t popular.

I think we both know the parks are rather popular

Throughput. He's saying that the peoplemover (which gets a decent line for some reason lately) can have ridership numbers that dwarf ROTR, so your choice of metric defines your argument. Statistics can be as much an art as a science

The situation is serious enough that there is real talk about abandoning Guardians and letting it just sit for potentially years. Right now it's still on... but if there's a scenario where Disney can't open through the summer... the whole company could at that point be faced with bankruptcy.

I would like to warn you that comments like this are borderline in violation of insider trading laws.

Florida and Pennsylvania...to very large, important states, finally issued the order two hours ago...about 2 weeks behind the curve

Which is why I think all those things will not last unless they are redesigned for the pandemic age. I don’t think we’re going back to normal on any of these long-term.

Contagious diseases are not a new thing. As our immunity and medicine catches up... this idea of avoiding contact will go away. What is different for our generations is it's the first time we've personally experienced this.. and it's global nature and speed.

This is not being considered an extinction event. It's just where we are in the progression of facing a new disease.

i don’t know of any other attraction that draws 15 thousand ~ people to the park hours before it even opens.

Apparently you’ve not spent much time in the suburbs.

I don't think you're saying contagions are reduced in suburbs, but in case anyone reading that thinks that may be the case... it is not.

There's been stories for uber-spreading situations that have happened in the suburbs because even suburbanites socialize. House parties, churches, sporting events, schools, work environments, etc...

The 'heat map' of CV's spread shows it clearly spreading not only in suburban areas, but even in rural areas. All it takes is for one rural resident to travel and bring it back and local socializing spreads it.

The more correct way to talk about the meat markets is to say they need to shut down until proper hygiene and animal care occurs such that they don’t become a breeding ground for novel viruses, two of which have now caused major pandemics (SARS and COVID.)

Eating bats is not the problem (you do you) having live animals stacked in cages with metal grate bottoms 5-7 cages high inches from your butchering board and not practicing safe hygiene is the problem.

Pointing out the markets as they exist are a huge health problem is not racist. Food safety is a problem in all cultures to varrying degrees. America continues to have problems but thankfully we have gotten better since the days of Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle. It is high time the CCP does the same, the markets are a sign of government mismanagement not racial inferiority.

If “urbanism” spreads COVID-19, why do South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore have dramatically lower case numbers with more extensive testing?

That was my understanding of the source of this. Not the eating of the bats, but that a bat may have infected a raw piece of meat at the meat market. I don't care who eats what, that's your business (unless it's breaking the law). We've got to make it hygienic though.

Maybe cut out the racism?

Nothing racist about saying those markets are filthy unsanitary breeding grounds for disease

I could tell you horror stories on working in hotel kitchens. It would make you not want to eat in the restaurant.
