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

plenty of stats out there for you to figure it out. It is very clear you will not provide a number.

When you play golf , do you keep score by saying well there is a chance I got a hole in one so let’s put down a hole in one for every hole. Because there is a chance.

I’ll be back in about 4-5 hours to see again how great Florida and the country is doing again. Have fun!

I shouldn't have to say this, but I guess it's been a while so some of you have forgotten.

Any further posts using the "what about seasonal flu?" "what about all the other things that could kill you?" arguments will be deleted and posters no longer allowed to post in this thread.

It is a circular argument that goes no where. seasonal flu has zero to do with the thread topic.

easy to say but that is happening much much more than parties like these.

The reach of spread from two neighbors having dinner is far less than the spread from many people from many families at a house party with the expressed intent of catching COVID-19. (That alone shows you the intellect and stability of these people.)

There are multiple parties every weekend in the Kissimmee area. How many of them are WDW cast members? Where does it go from there?

If we see an outbreak among CM’s, oh, they’re closing.

Most of the recent conversation was in terms of hospital capacity which seems to brought up constantly in this thread.

One metric that is going to keep Disney from thinking about closing is, over the past two weeks Florida has reported a record of over 150,000 new positive cases. During that same time overall hospital capacity statewide has stayed steady and in some cases improved slightly. Either way the hospital system has handled it. With the cases stabilizing and hopefully continuing to trend down in positivity it will continue to improve.

COVID could be around for years so you're saying every time there's an outbreak among CM's WDW will close. That could be a lot of opening and closing.

You know you're not going to get any "likes" for posting positive news.:)

By next week we're likely going to see Florida with a 1,000 new deaths a week and going higher. It's going to be increasingly difficult for Florida leaders and others to wave things away.

Hello I’m a long time lurker here and have enjoyed these boards for many years. I have never found the need to post much since I am not an “insider”.

Keeping things simple has always worked for me so here is my attempt.

Is the number of people being infected in Florida increasing?

YES. We can argue over specifics but I think everyone would agree it’s getting worse.

Have more people died from coronavirus due to the increase in infections ?

Yes. Let’s argue over when they have died - WHO CARES they are DEAD. It they died today or 4 days ago it is still tragically unacceptable at the level it is occurring.

Is it less dangerous to go to Disney World than your local grocery store?

It doesn’t matter. No one ever has to go to Disney World for any reason. It’s the same as a bar or a strip club or a casino in that respect. You just don’t have to go.

People need food and supplies. The stores they get them at are places they have to go.

Its very simple.

Should Disney be open ?

Nope. Shut it down.

But think of the jobs!!!! The people!!!! This is not fair they will starve and lose everything without a job!!!!

This is why we have a government. It is their job to take care of the non essential workers until this is over with. It is also critical that essential workers get rewarded for the risks they take everyday.

But but but we can’t keep paying all these people who just want to sit at home and not work because they are scared of the sniffles!!!!

Too bad - it was the governments job to contain this to begin with, and it has shown to be possible in other parts of the world.

Are we suppose to let one failure compound with more and more failures until we have death and disease and catastrophic levels?

100 people dying per day frees up hospital beds.

That number will go up when we start seeing deaths from these 10-15,000 new case days.

Over 12,000 new cases today. Something’s gotta give. Eventually there will be no choice but to shut everything down. (That’s the last thing I want to see - I own two storefronts in FL and barely made it through the first 2 month shutdown.)

In Broward, we just started an 11pm curfew, eliminated vacation rentals by owner unless the owner lives on property (virtually eliminating the stuff happening in Kissimmee) and banning home gatherings of ten or more people, inside or out. But they left beaches open. 😕
