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

Well, we've heard of promises from pharma, haven't we? I hope this is true but also, I hope a) people don't make it yet another ridiculous political talking point because they don't want it (let's just move them to a new COVID state somewhere), and b) the government finds a way to distribute it. It's really a situation where the wealthy won't be any safer if the plebs don't have access, too.
They've already demonstrated that willingness with a commitment of $2 billion to Pfizer for 100 million doses by the end of the year with an option to purchase another 500 million.

They're going into commercial production while clinical trials are ongoing. That's unprecedented. If the AZ drug shows equal or superior promise, there's no doubt they'll get the same commitment.

That man should be charged with assault be thrown in jail.

Well, I think he was just revved up from the "news" he follows. I just think that these are the examples of why mask and social distancing rules could never be enforced in this country. We are an angry, angry, angry land.

Well, let's hope it works then. And let's hope people don't make it a political talking point. Let's hope this nightmare is behind us without even more idiots to block the way out.

I saw the story, seems like a very small number have had this foulup.

Agreed, errors like reporting 100 percent positive in a data dump by accident, reporting multiple days as one day, marking motor cycle accident victim as a COVID death, reporting positive antibody tests as a NEW positive case of COVID and reporting folks positive who were never tested is insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

Cases are not trending up
A google search says otherwise.

That chart spells disgraceful no matter which way you spin it.

The people I see without masks tend to be older and/or overweight. It boggles my mind. I'm healthy and I wear the mask for YOU. It's not difficult to wear a mask. It's not difficult to wear a mask in Florida in 100 degree heat. It sucks, but it is not difficult. These kids can do it and so can you.

The questioning of the statistic didn’t happen until the numbers soured.

Also a fact....

And comedic.

The questioning did not happen because it wasn't happening then. The heavy back filling didn't start until end of June when the CDC changed guidance.

Who would question why is it raining on a sunny day?

Its funny cause in Erie they have people going to the low income areas handing out masks and talking to the people and making them informed. Yet another thing that can be done to help slow the spread.

I have to ask @legwand77 @DisneyCane @LUVMCO tell me why making masks mandatory, fining people and businesses who don't comply with social distancing and going into low income neighborhoods and handing out masks won't work.
Because the people in many low income neighborhoods in the US don't like the "government" coming in to tell them what to do. Businesses should be fined for not enforcing rules. In Florida they shut some down. Personal fines would require laws passed to be legal.

So you are saying you changed your mind based off of new information....

Interesting concept.

Since when am I against limited capacity for restaurants? Are there not a huge number of people working from home in Florida/the US? Has the guidance since March not been to stay at home if you are sick? Are workplaces not screening people for symptoms? I haven't seen anybody that appeared sick working anywhere for months.

There, I brought it up. The poster I replied to is suggesting that strict full lockdowns are the right thing to do and would have "smashed" the virus if they were done in Florida. I brought up Sweden because they didn't do that.

I have said since the beginning that all businesses should be allowed to operate as long as they can implement social distancing and sanitary guidelines.
If Florida followed the Swedish approach then Walt Disney World would not have been allowed to reopen.
