Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[Tom P.]

Yup, just a few trillion in free paychecks, right? The Government can buy and run all the closed businesses.

Easy peasy!

It is not easy. It is, however, possible. While having an effective vaccine or therapeutic for COVID-19 overnight is not.

Or maybe it’s a novel virus and they didn’t realize the amount of airborne spread, at that time, from just breathing - as opposed to just sneezing and coughing.

Today they said you can’t get it from contaminated services. Who knows what tomorrow will bring.

Not the primary reason how you get it but you can get it that way is what was said. When they says there’s less chance does not reduce it to zero. For the life of me I don’t understand why people do that. Less risk never means no risk.

 

[Miss Bella]

??? I haven’t read any reports that claim amount of time exposed and being indoors doesn’t matter.

That’s why I think it’s so odd that restaurant dining rooms are opening up all across America.

We’ve eaten out there times this week and really enjoyed the experience. The last few years we’ve tried to cut down on dining out to save money. Now I feel like I have an obligation to support our locals restaurants.

It doesn’t say you can get it that way. Everything in life has risks. It’s called living.

All those things can be fixed with programs we could have now if "we" wanted to do it.

A cure isn't coming anytime soon.

Yes because government programs are fix for everything!

 

[Tom P.]

True. But we also make judgments about what risk to avoid, what risk to mitigate, and what risk to accept. We don't just accept all risk because "it's called living."

I have to go to the grocery store and get groceries. My family has to eat. That is a necessity of life. So I will do my best to have as little contact with people as possible, but I will go. That's a combination of mitigating and accepting risk.

I do not have to go to Walt Disney World. That is a luxury that is not needed. Therefore, I am not going to accept or even try to mitigate that risk. I will simply avoid it until the situation changes.

Just because life has to go on does not mean you don't make changes as a result of risk.

It's not just deaths that are important.

There are young people suffering severe symptoms with long term health consequences because of the virus...including children.

what are the stats here? Because whatever the stats are, states will be looking at that, and many others when assessing risk in order to make decisions. And yes, the feds and states have been doing risk assessments since the very beginning whether we like it or not.

Side note, I am not a fan of a blanket statement like “there are young people suffering with sever symptoms” without drilling down to understand what this exactly means.

Exactly, is why I wondered why you said no chance in your post.

 

[ImperfectPixie]

Yes because government programs are fix for everything!

I'm pretty sure one of the government's primary jobs is dealing with things that affect the entire country...like pandemics.

I never used the words no chance.

I've read a few articles mentioning that children experiencing other issues after having been exposed to COVID-19 are on the rise. So far, the numbers are low, and I hope they remain that way, but the following article about 4 children in one area is concerning.

Local Children Develop Mysterious Syndrome Linked to COVID-19

Fort Worth pediatricians say they have treated four local children for what they believe is the mysterious inflammatory illness related to COVID-19.

Probably still more chance of getting it from surfaces than having a virus molecule fly directly into your nose at 30mph on Expedition Everest, and we're talking about that, so . . .

Sorry, but you're wrong. Young children are being severely affected by the virus.

12-year-old girl who suffered heart failure after COVID-19 diagnosis speaks out

"I didn't want to move, I didn't want to live, I wanted for it all to stop," she said.

New child illness Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome believed to be connected to COVID-19

The top doctor at Children's Hospital and Detroit Medical Center says some patients have COVID-19 or were directly exposed. Antibody testing being done in patients who tested negative for the virus, would show a definitive link to COVID-19.

14-year-old recovering from multisystem inflammatory syndrome was hospitalized with heart failure

The father of a 14-year-old boy now recovering from a coronavirus-related syndrome says all the symptoms began with a slight fever and some rashes on his son's hands in mid-April.

Young children are much more severely affected by many other things and on a much higher level than covid. That doesn't justify using the statistics to promote an argument.

Concerning for those 4 children for sure. But is the risk enough to change course on the reopening process? Probably not.

I consider traveling and eating out essential to my well being and the well-being of our economy therefore I will take the “so called”risk.

I haven't once mentioned changing course on re-opening.

Sorry. I came in mid conversation. I must have missed the reason for the back and forth. Haha.

Just refuting more of the "it's not a big deal" claims that keep insisting on popping up.

If your perspective is such that the risk is a "so called" risk, then we are not having an honest discussion. I am discussing when taking the risk is or is not acceptable. You do not believe the risk even exists. Which is just factually false.
