Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[CaptainAmerica]

It’s not counterproductive...it’s ignoring those that have been wrong this whole time and trying to stay the course with the “intelligent majority”

If you are still whining about mitigation at this point...your skull is thick and you just don’t get it.

He’s old...but not stupid. The administration approach is similar: hedge their bets and not get caught overpromising or directly leading people to another spike.

The logic to that approach is sound...not everyone is gonna agree.

Last I checked - that never happens anyway.

But the inclination to avoid overpromising on the vaccine in particular is going to have adverse effects. In order to get loads of people to TAKE the vaccine, they need to be hyping up how awesome the vaccine is and how it's the path back to normal.

Also, as a conservative Republican who was Trump-agnostic for four years and Trump-horrified once he started the "Stop the Steal" nonsense, my belief in any "intelligent majority" is long gone.

So why do you think they’ve added this new policy?

Quoting to what the CDC says.

• Wear masks at all times, both indoors and outdoors, except when you are actively eating or drinking. Masks help protect both you and those around you.

How many months will there will be back to normal soon?

 

[CaptainAmerica]

How many months will there will be back to normal soon?

Well we're on day 348 of "15 Days to Slow the Spread" so...

 

[Chi84]

Do you really think there are people setting public health policies just because they get a kick out of trying to control others’ behavior beyond all reason? That sounds like a comic book villain or something.

Well that isn't even remotely what I said, so no.

Why do you keep asking things like this. People have given there best guesses but that's all anyone can do at this point.

 

[DisneyDebRob]

Devils advocate; your health may not, but your wallet (I.e tax burden and insurance costs) does

It’s been that way since the beginning of time. People will do what they want.. eat.. smoke.. whatever and our bottom line of insurance costs and more taxes will always be there.

 

[Disney Experience]

Time is relative. So for someone travelling near the speed of light perhaps they are on track for 15 days.

 

[GoofGoof]

Sadly, some people still haven’t started day 1....as someone who has actually followed recommendations for 348+ days I’m definitely ready to put this thing behind me and go back to some version of normal. Not sure when that will be yet, but I’m hoping it’s closer to sooner than later

I think the worst thing they can do (in their political calculus)...is overpromise. They’re finally learning that one useless soundbite is enough to hijack the attention span of the dummies.

The problem is the flag and hat crowd never understood this...prolly because they lack the capacity to....

It’s just about finding “enemies” and placing blame and throwing rage. The covid “debate”
Has boiled mostly down to that.

It really depends on it the plans work and how fast everyone wants them to work.

Seems like the lightbulb isn’t getting enough juice to illuminate

 

[Heppenheimer]

My daughter created the Mask-A-Straw, patent pending, using those cray straw connection kits. For routing out the back of the mask and down to your drink. We'll make millions she said.

Product has not been field tested, no results guaranteed, this is not a medical device. Experiences may differ.

Reminds me of the tube in military gas masks that allows you to drink from your canteen while in full MOPP gear.

 

[Disney Analyst]

New mask policy shows disney doesn’t care about the science or data. No evidence that supports their new mask rules. Again, if they actually cared about protecting people they wouldn’t be increasing capacity and incentivizing more people to gather in crowds...

This is just nonsense. Florida has had some of the loosest mask rules and has had the same or better results than states with the strongest mask rules. The masks are a placebo. Stop pretending the masks are saving your life. Lol

If you can trust anything coming out of Florida or Desantis. I wouldn’t.

 

[DisneyCane]

If you can trust anything coming out of Florida or Desantis. I wouldn’t.

There are several counties that are heavily Democrat and run almost completely by Democrats. They see all of the test results and other "numbers" coming through their county health departments. If the State was changing numbers as you (and Ms. Jones) imply, the mayors and county commissioners of these counties would be out there showing the proof of it. They aren't.

Actually pretty much ALL of the big counties here in Florida are controlled by Democrats.

 

[Touchdown]

If by big you mean populous, then you can scratch out Florida and just say United States.

 

[DCBaker]

Numbers are out - there were 110 new reported deaths, along with 8 Non-Florida Resident deaths.

Yet who’s the biggest laughing stock?

...nice speech to kick off NutCon in Orlando the to other day...by the way

To you and your ilk he may be a laughingstock. Not to me and many others. I'll pass along your compliments on his speech if I ever run into him at Publix.
