Just to clarify CFAs are not owned by the "owner operator". They use the term franchised very loosely. Corporate CFA owns all the locations in their entirety: building, land, equipment, etc. Each CFA location brings in around $4M a year and the "owner operator" is lucky to see $200,000 from that. Not saying that $200,000 isn't a lot. Just that the CFA stores are more lucrative for corporate than the "owner operators".
I honestly dont know what I'm going to do if this happens.
I appreciate that. My life experience (like most of us in the position to be bellyaching about Disney’s operations and punching a keyboard in this time of global crisis) has taught me to give ALMOST everyone the benefit of the doubt. I’ve found most people really do want to do the right thing when presented WHY they should. Even one of our regular physicians here on the board, who is clearly an intelligent human, admitted recently that they played this down in their own head early on. But data and evidence allowed them to adapt and change....my reputation proceeds me (but disneycp isn’t aware of it)...
No, I was dead serious. You consistently provide a different perspective that is interesting.
The original article appeared in the Daily Beast, but behind a paywall. Here's a different one that quotes the original.

Exactly. Our Town Hall stayed closed way longer than most businesses...wonder why.
Schaumburg has a lot of office buildings and chain restaurants, but I noticed that even a Panera went out there. I'm in Chicago near Rosemont, and I've seen several small neighborhood restaurants close, including one of our favorites, Mia Passione. We "adopted" a small, family-owned restaurant near us (Nonna Silvia's) - we get delivery from them every week or so, add a bottle of wine or two from their list, include a generous tip and add to the delivery charge. It's a small thing, but I hope it helps. They are very appreciative.
Ok. Well what small businesses are you talking about? I used coffee shops as an example of real life small businesses in my town.
I can assure you that roughly 50% of the country thinks the opposite of you.
Some of us who are critical of the way the US has responded have served a decade or more in the military defending this country and its way of life. Including combat deployments.
I actually agree with your statement a lot. I also think we are having more spread with the masks then people think as this virus is highly contagious. I'm not convinced masks help but even if I think they do they aren't 100% effective and can still have spread within communities.
This is really more opinion than science. There is nothing in science that says hundreds of people dying is un-scientific.Another well written article on herd immunity. The more studies.. the more I hear epidemiologists talk about it’s not the way to go, the more I think it shouldn’t even be brought up. It’s a very fine read.
Herding People to Slaughter: The Dangerous Fringe Theory behind the Great Barrington Declaration and Push toward Herd Immunity
Officials at the highest levels are discussing the possibility of caving in on controlling the coronavirus and instead letting it run rampant throughout the United States until we reach “herd immunity,” the point where the virus runs out of people to infect.

Well said. Questioning something doesn’t equal thinking it’s evil. It could very well mean you care enough to see it do better.
Now who is anti-science... If only you had any idea how the human body actually worked. Thanks alot for the chuckle!!
Yeah Disney has been safer than most places according to my husband... I do think it’s possibly coming if we keep trending up instead of down
