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

Can I come to where YOU live?? I rarely see a mask when I go out. RARELY. And when I do and I put on my mask I get weird looks from people. One person walking out of a Lowe's as I was going in with a mask mumbled "(expletive) Democrat!" So yeah, I have a hard time believing 95% are wearing masks.

Live outside of Houston in a conservative adjacent county. You almost don't see anyone not wearing them now.

Then give them the better system if they needed improvement.
It won’t all be released to the public,anything that goes through the government, in any administration, usually doesn’t all get realeased. The CDC will no longer control the data and not only the public may not know all of it but the scores of researchers, modelers and health officials that rely on CDC data to make project and crucial decisions.

I trust Dr Birx, who called for and was instrumental in creating the new system, will not be withholding anything. The data was not being posted fast enough

Windermere FL is a wealthy suburb a few miles from WDW. Looks like a bunch of ignorant residents.

OK Can I ask what everyone means by not wearing a mask? I live in South Florida and you are not able to go intro a business or restaurant without a mask.

You do not need to wear a mask in your car!
You do not need to wear a mask walking down the sidewalk alone!
I go and walk my dog each morning and night and I do not wear a mask. I am alone and there is not another person within 20 feet let alone 6 feet. My beagle will not give COVID to me.

Yes, we all need to wear masks. I hate it but I comply. But what we all need to realize is the mask is worn when you are in a situation where you CAN'T social distance.

People are scared, and so they want us all of wear masks Everywhere. And that is not what need to be done.

Plus no one mentioned that Orlando labs are not reporting the right figures.

On the Windermere thing, you will get some extreme, unintelligent reactions when you impose the extreme measures that were done back in April. I've always said that if, at the very beginning, all businesses were allowed to operate with distancing and reduced capacity then you wouldn't have this type of backlash. Face coverings would have been widely accepted as a follow on when the CDC recommended them if they were presented as a way to not have to take draconian measures.

On the question of this thread, there is no reason for WDW to close back down unless there is evidence of significant spread happening on the property despite the procedures and protections in place. It doesn't matter if there are 5 million cases per day in Florida (although that would lead to pretty quick herd immunity), as long as the measures taken at WDW are effective there is no reason to shut down.

I'm sure some people will get infected on property but the key is that it isn't a major source of spread. Calls to close down because of Florida's case count (which is largely a Southeast Florida problem over 200 miles from WDW), are really just coming from the attitude of "nobody should be having any fun while people are dying."

How many were discharged? The important number is the hospital capacity.

Also understand (and I have direct knowledge of this) that if somebody is asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 positive and goes to a hospital for another problem, they will be tested and counted as a COVID admission. They need to be in the hospital for something else but count towards the COVID numbers. If they weren't there for the other issue, they wouldn't have ever been tested let alone admitted.

The restaurant is embedded in the large Summerport neighborhood, it looks like a block of apartments in the middle of a bunch of homes if you didn't know better. It's in Windermere, but the "Faux Windermere" bordering Winter Garden behind MK not the highly upscale downtown area between the lakes that's know for stuff like Isleworth, Tiger Woods old house, Palace of Versailles home, etc.

and hospital capacity numbers are still better than they were last week.

For context the Florida hospital system has currently as of this post over 12000 beds available and around 900 icu bed capacity. The capacity has been the same (+/- 5 percent) over the past month or more since you have been saying hospital will be overurn etc. These numbers do not include any surge capacity that can be put in place. Something to watch and they are.

Also interesting the only hospitals in Orange county showing 0% capacity are the smaller mental illness and drug rehab hospitals, I think that is a bigger issue.
