Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[disneygeek90]

I had not heard of restaurants re-closing. Where is that happening?

I believe some restaurants are closing due to either lack of business or cases being discovered with the employees. I do not think this is a large portion and this is by choice and not due to government restrictions. Restaurants in Florida are still allowed to operate (and serve alcohol, for that matter).

Thanks. I was thinking the post was referring to Disney restaurants. Of course, the bars are closed. I just thought there was information I had not heard.

Not a critique of your post.

But this has quickly become my least favorite phrase.

What does that even mean?

We’re not just being cautious - We’re being super duper cautious? Meaning you were being haphazardly cautious before?

"we were doing enough but legal wasn't happy yet"

As we will be at Disney for the reopening, I am on pins and needles about Disney postponing.

For what it’s worth, on Thursday WDW execs said they were still planning to move forward with re-opening plans and that the postponing of the DLR re-opening has no impact on WDW.

And Microsoft stores.

Microsoft stores apparently never opened. And now, never will.

The Microsoft Stores are never reopening.

The biggest outbreaks in my state are in the low-income Hispanic neighborhoods in west phoenix, the Navajo nation, and Yuma county on the border. Handing out fines doesn't necessarily work in every community. There are a lot of cultural and educational differences that can't be overlooked.

One being the Hispanic community is very family-oriented. How well they social distance themselves from another family member with COVID is a question I can't answer. They also like to take care of their elderly. I commend them for that, but when you send COVID positive grandma home and she's got 10 grandkids taking care of her that's a problem. I work in the Hispanic community and since families aren't allowed in the hospital it's difficult to educate the families. I guarantee you they are not on Disney boards getting their public service announcement.

My point is every state and every community in the U.S has their own unique issues. It's not quite as simple as just handing out fines.

There must be something that can be done to help slow the spread. Instead it feels like many are more focused on downplaying the virus and want to open up everything and move on. I'm not just talking about people on here.

So we are to assume an admitted liar is now telling the truth?

If you presume he's a liar, then wouldn't the time he said the Canadian health care system was awful was a lie?

Some opened. But yes, now they are likely to not reopen.

He could be lying both times. Maybe that’s not even his real name. These are the mysteries that need solved.

News: Microsoft Stores to close permanently

The thread is heavily politically biased. The moderator told me so.

Most commenters comment based on science and data. Some, like yourself, comment based on gut and politics.

Think Chinese knockoff of an Apple Store but with Windows logos.

I’m guessing someone in Redmond realized the financials for the stores improved when they closed.

Isolating yourself in your trailer or home isn't really helping people. If you want to help people than get out and help people. FYI the people that need help aren't reading this board.
