Right. The information should be accurately communicated to the general population. Yes you can get sick. If you already have pre-existing conditions you can get severely sick with risk of death (albeit low). And you know what, over the past 3-4 months were are learning much more about this...

Coincidentally I just examined a patient of mine who is a hospital pathologist here in NY. I asked her directly what was the deal with labeling "every death" as Covid related. Without hesitation she told me she was absolutely directed to take as much liberty as reasonably possible to assign a...

I've mentioned it before on this thread. IMO, if the number of positive confirmed cases increases but the hospitalizations and death rate decrease, people should be doing cartwheels. Rate of positive infection alone, without taking ANYTHING else into context, is not an accurate assessment of...

This is supposedly true. Medicare in NY state pays a large fee (rumored to be $13k per patient admitted for Covid) and an even higher fee (Rumored to be $39k) if they are placed on a ventilator. I am also in healthcare (not hospital based, private practice) and have several close friends who...

I think what all this really does is open up the door for a paid fastpass system. Possibly also in conjunction with virtual queuing. If Disney ever had an opportunity to just re-set everything and implement these "big changes" they may have always desired, this is it.

Nailed it. Although we can expect some permanent changes (I.e. I for one see the 60 day dining reservation staying. They just have to find a solution so it doesn’t conflict with the FastPass window reservations. Unless permanent changes are coming to FastPass that will perhaps throw the 60...

im predicting this “initial phased reopening” lasts through the end of August. Come September college program returns and restrictions lift in order to accommodate the coming holiday festivities and events. If the majority of restrictions stay in places at that point in time I can’t see Disney...

I just can’t see park hopping go away irrespective of any financial incentive for Disney. People need to have the flexibility to adjust and customize their plans. No park hopping is a major game changer

I personally think a lot of these restrictions are a bit over the top and pose no real merit in safety. But I do feel there should be restrictions at this point in time. Again, Disney, as is any other major industry Leader is going to be under the gun in regards to anything they implement or...

I’m sorry if I bored you. Just tried to present the facts behind the story

That’s exactly my point. There is no question the virus is real. There is no question the virus has caused death. It is also factual that the virus is indeed highly contagious under the right circumstances. Anyone who thinks this virus is a “hoax” is frankly out of their mind. But science...

There's some mention of the virus possibility losing out on it's lethality, which is certainly possible but as other posters pointed out, there are different strains around the globe and the statement if indeed true shouldn't be taken as a blanket statement for the entire world. What's...

if the park hopper pass doesn’t return, will we be able to park hop at all in any capacity? I find it illogical to force guests to stick to one park and one park only per day (outside of the initial re-opening phase). That will never fly

When do people think the College Program will return? I personally think that's a major indicator on the direction or timeline of how things will progress at Disney World. If there are no plans to bring back the college program till say next year, well then I don't think anyone should be...

i currently have a trip planned in early December. I’m on the fence as I think during the later portion of the year depending on certain things (the election, political climate and agenda, what the media chooses to report on ) that could be a real sweet spot. Possibly lower than average crowds...

I don’t think any of these limitations are out of line. Like many posters stated numerous times, no one is forcing anyone to go. If you aren’t pleased or feel you may have a diminished experience, just postpone and save yourself the aggravation. Personally for me, I wouldn’t go because I...

theres a theory that everything we experienced in March and April may have been that 2nd wave since they are finding more evidence that the virus was here earlier

I’m more interested in Disney’s domestic plans. When do they plan to phase out masks? When do they plan to incorporate parades and fireworks again? Will there be hard ticket events in 2020? Is Disney making these decisions in line with the state’s phasing reopening guidelines ? What if...

What many people also don't realize, nor does the media report is the following fact... There's a great book you can pick up from Amazon, Spillover: Animal infections and the next human Pandemic. It was published before Covid19 but it basically predicts this current Pandemic in general terms...

I understand your frustration. I have a trip booked for this coming December and it's going to be a nightmare to plan and figure out dining, shows and MVMCP etc. I'm strongly considering rescheduling the trip to spring of 2021 but even then who knows what's going to be available in terms of...
