I suspect it's actually been in the works for far longer; chances are the vendor has been on a major sales push for a while. I know Mercedes Benz Stadium here in Atlanta tested 3 different systems last season (maybe in September or October?) -- it worked really well then, btw; Getting people...

WDW and DLR are two different beasts though. DLR is basically one (relatively) small complex so they just put in bag check at the parking deck, by the bus drop off, and going to the hotels. It's the most economical way to do it. Bag check really isn't necessary just for a "mall", but Downtown...

And getting into conspiracy theories myself now, but none of the software I've seen (when dealing with dates) works this way by default. Whether it was done by the state or an outside vendor, this particular "mistake" really feels less "oopsie" and more "let's look for a particular shape". But...

I wasn't saying it wasn't a metric-- I was just saying it's never made sense to me given the data that we've had. It *is* however the easiest to see and it makes for big numbers so.

It was never proven. The argument was made that the chart was made by an outside vendor who chose the presentation method. But that seems very unlikely since this not how people usually think of data, so it feels like that someone had to go out of their way to generate this. Of course, as I...

And this backs up my point earlier-- whether the "mistake" was real or intentional didn't matter; they got called on it very quickly. There are too many data scientists and this data is being used by too many people for things like that to go unnoticed for very long.

I understand changing numbers to a degree- since the reporting is being aggregated and not everyone reports on the same timeline (as well as tests for today may not be ready for days), some modification of the preceding (week? two weeks?) of data is to be expected. That said, consistency is...

A while ago, the person that ran the FL COVID dashboard was fired. (right or wrong, isn't at issue here, btw). She's started her own FL dashboard recently, and the numbers are significantly higher than what is being reported by the state. Except that she's including people who test positive...

When they canceled existing ADRs they announced: Additionally, when reservations for dining and other experiences resume, Guests who had existing reservations will receive priority access to rebook. So, presumably, when they do reopen there may be a group of people that would have first crack...

Just a few points here- 1) You're not wearing a mask to stay safe FROM others; you're wearing it to keep THEM somewhat safer from you. 2) I wouldn't be surprised if you're not at least somewhat correct about when Disney will remove the requirement-- Disney is all about protecting the brand. 3)...

I'm down with an East Vs West Final Matchup- The 5 Stripes vs Los Galácticos.

Whether or not masks are effective, this is the general attitude that is out there: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-12/a-revolt-against-wearing-masks-creates-a-new-coronavirus-danger-as-california-reopens The Health Office of Orange County, California mandated masks, then got...

Just to add fuel to the fire, this is an example of everyone pushing global mask use is up against: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-12/a-revolt-against-wearing-masks-creates-a-new-coronavirus-danger-as-california-reopens The Health Office for Orange County, California ended up...

I'd put this a little differently, but the sentiment is the same-- I'd say: It's up to you to manage your own risk, by mingling with other people, there is a chance you will get infected. Luckily, unless you are in an at-risk cohort, the likelihood of requiring critical care or dying are low. I...

If they're after the same thing Disney is, it's not about not losing money, it's about reducing the rate of loss. eg: if by being closed, they lose 1M/day, but by opening they only lose a net 500k/day (including operational costs), then it's an economic win.

Just to clarify, it wasn't my pic originally, I just gave anecdotal thoughts on what I saw. And, honestly, I couldn't care less if they enforce or not. I tend to think it's up to each of us to manage our own risk and take action accordingly. eg: If I was worried about someone walking around...

Yeah. Sadly this was around the days that SpaceX did their manned launch. We were at the Space Center on and I explicitly didn't buy LEGO there knowing we were going to the big LEGO store at Disney Springs, only to find out that they had sold out of all of their NASA sets the day before.

I hear you. If you get the chance-- head up to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg, the Smoky Mountains are still beautiful and Dollywood is opening soon (admittedly with masks, but still)

Atlanta United for the Win! Unite and Conquer, baby!

No, not at all. On the other hand, I saw several people not wearing a mask walk within a few feet of multiple security personnel as well as what appeared to be more managerial staff. If they want to truly enforce masks to be worn, I'd expect those people to stop the person an say something...
