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

I guess since you highlighted my posts you are addressing me?

Still stand by what I said, there hasn't been exponential growth in deaths, it has gone up yes, and appears to have peaked back on July 8 or 13th but yes still to early to tell for sure. It will still go up a bit more.

I still say the comparison to Iran is still very problematic. the trends in AR and TX are much more relative.

I guess your questions of "what will happen when it goes down in a few weeks" was off the mark, huh?

Should have turned that around, "what will happen when it goes up"

Little did I know the answer would be, "the stat can't be trusted" lol

Thanks mom.

Your welcome, son.

You never mentioned the words exponential growth. I was very clear, in my post that I was expecting a trend line sloping up. You never jumped in to declare that the slope of the line needed to be steep or exponential.

And Iran was simply an estimating tool, that turned out to be pretty accurate. That is not a comparison.

once again, I have never said that stat can't be trusted.

I don't know what exponential means to you, but deaths are rising substantially.

They obviously meant exponential to the power of 5.....lol

There's a reason people use very vague terms like exponential. So that when called on it, like today, they can start the dancing.

Fine, you used exponential. But that was not the position of the dissenters in the thread that it would rise exponentially. The position was that the curve would switch from trending down to trending up, and you repeatedly ridiculed us for it with "2 more weeks."

Here is a post I made from earlier in June, when I said what scientists were saying about the possibility of exponential growth, and the actual type of growth we could expect.

Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

I'm glad to see this because I don't believe that wearing masks outside at Disney will do anything at all to prevent the spread of the virus, especially in light of the type of masks people are wearing them and how they are wearing them. That said, the people who believe that masks are not that...

We should start seeing the deaths increase like the cases, starting today or yesterday. Covid hospitalization should be going up dramatically already. Cases already started climbing almost two weeks ago. Hopefully that will not happen and will tamper the number of cases panic.

Narrator: "we are"

Narrator: "we are"

The willful ignorance is quite something, isnt it?

 

[kong1802]

I have said deaths are dropping and hospitalizations are steady and that is good news. I also said numerous times, testing and discovering positive cases is a good thing.

Now that deaths are rising, is it bad news?

Ok, last one for the day, needed the comedic relief.

It's funny to see the quick summaries and smugness that was displayed less than a month ago when they thought they had the numbers.

"We should have seen a rise in deaths, we didn't, so stop being alarmists"

Then we do see the rise in deaths, and it shifts to "Look at how the deaths are being reported" instead of saying, "Ok, I was obviously wrong"

Of course , but the point is a good bit of those deaths already happened weeks and months ago

THIS IS HOW DEATHS HAVE BEEN REPORTED FROM THE BEGINNING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sigh. I'm going to take you at your word, and not that you're being intentionally obtuse- it is a very bad sign that these deaths happened weeks and months ago, considering the recent explosion in cases.

Please tell me you understand this reality.

Everyone trying to play gotcha, pulling from posts from month or so ago, claiming things I never said, is pretty boring, moving on.

not the way in which you framed it

The subject of this thread sort of suggests that.

Hardly.

Closing the parks is not life coming to a standstill.

Here’s some stats from a week ago. Maybe they’re all wrong too.

Florida has more Covid-19 than most countries in the world. These stats show how serious the problem is | CNN

What should be a booming tourist destination this time of year is now riddled with coronavirus, dwarfing other states and even entire countries in some metrics.

www.cnn.com

These type of figures are what has some inside of the company ruffled.
