Do you think that Disney world will reclose its gates due to the rising number of COVID cases in Florida and around the country?

The mortality rate is what counts, otherwise, every cold would warrant a news flash. Right now, its at 4%
| Confirmed 3.29M +62,653 | Recovered 970K | Deaths 137K |

None of the data is accurate so proclaiming to know exactly what is going on will be a complete guess. Some Covid deaths were not Covid deaths. Some others were. Some tests are people having it again or retaining a dead virus for weeks after recovery. Point is the decisions of opening and closing are all best guesses. I would be surprised if wdw closes again, unless mandated.

They're working against their own interests and extending the pandemic by pretending it's not real. They're killing people. Its unreal.The goal is to always look for whatever number makes the virus not seem as bad
Want disney to stay open? Accept that covid is real and not getting better, then work together to help slow the spread.

The common cold doesn’t have people knocked down for weeks.

And if every possible metric shows that the pandemic in the US is getting worse? Claim the metrics aren't accurate or are politically biased.The goal is to always look for whatever number makes the virus not seem as bad

Oh the United States is making the news in most countries these days. Not just about Disney.

And those headlines do not read "United States making consistent progress against COVID-19, thanks to bold, pragmatic leadership and widespread community compliance".

All the recent evidence and statistics of how the US is currently doing goes against these fairy tales.
Not worth arguing facts. Moving on!

The truth is that more people are dying than usual which is scary and sells lots of news articles. I didn’t find one about how Sweden’s number of deaths has been dropping significantly nor that Sweden has started severe austerity measures. which suggests that their plan is working.
That being said, there were a lot of deaths in Sweden. Hard to say which plan was better but the latest numbers look like they’re truly over the hump

If they opened as if nothing happened, I would agree that would have been unwise or even reckless. But they didn't open as if nothing happened.
Wan't the POINT of all the theme parks spending tons of money on social distancing stickers, temperature scanners, acrylic barriers, hand sanitizer; adding capacity limits, mask regulations, re-configuring restaurants, enhanced sanitation procedures etc, etc to operate as safely as possible in a COVID world? To prevent the guests/cast from giving it to each other? The surge in FL is from places and people not following the guidelines and procedures, but the theme parks are.
So I don't understand the debate. Who cares what's going on outside of the properties in the context of if they should be open or not. The whole point of these guidelines and procedures is to prevent people who unknowingly have it from coming in a spreading it around inside their bubbles. With the amount of money at stake, I can't see any of the parks not sticking to the guidelines the best they possibly can.
Just my two one-hundredths of a dollar.

I don't think DeSantis will let them - same with the other parks. Depressing.

I wonder how resort bookings are looking for the next few months. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them close or not reopen planned resorts if there’s no one booking. It doesn’t look like Florida’s numbers are going to slow down anytime soon.

Florida. 15,299 new cases - Most by ANY STATE ANY DAY, thousands more than NY at its peak. Really bad news.

its only gonna get worse in Florida unfortunately
Leaving off the news of the record number of tests ever run/reported (143000 reported) and positivity rate has continued to drop, and deaths dropped as well. Florida numbers overall are better than they have been all week. Positivity is the lowest it has been in over tow weeks, again trending down.
Just a few days ago people here were say when is the positivity going down! , well it looks like it is.

Deaths are a lagging indicator. Peak positives now will sadly mean a high numbers of deaths later. People should not be traveling to Florida to visit theme parks right now.
