I don't know about the U.S., but in the UK there has been a consumer backlash against corporations that have tried to avoid or ignore public health guidelines. I suspect that the normal purchasers of Tesla products are among the more socially aware groups in society, so I can't see this playing...

Darwin would probably have a view on this, particularly if in a species crisis, the vitriolic minority had a reduced chance of survival.

You will note that I said "with a little organizing". ie. expanding space to allow social distancing. Just as I wait in the grocery store until the person ahead in the aisle has made their selection and moved on, I would wait until space opened up in a smoking area before entering. As I said...

I can assure you that after the first two occasions you are at a smoking place with the same folks -- which does happen, particularly at the resorts as you get into a cycle of how long you can tolerate the place without a smoke -- you are no longer strangers. Smokers at Disney are really...

I think that if I were designing this survey, I would be asking (probably at the end of the survey, so the question didn't influence previous answers) which of these factors if any are most likely to influence your final decision: Travel limitations imposed by home or destination state Concerns...

I can imagine a scenario where the video on the Magic Express bus (if the service continues) starts with the type of video you get on the plane (exit points, seat belt requirements, oxygen masks etc), but instead focuses on mask wearing in the parks with tips to prevent chaffing, advice on when...

This doesn't work if the owner's "use year" for those points is expiring (e.g. if they have made the reservation using banked points from a previous year). The points may only be valid for re-booking in a time frame that doesn't work for the renter, so the owner will lose the points. That's...

I feel very sorry for people who have rented DVC points and for the owners who have rented these points out. It must be a legal quagmire trying to work out whether contracts that have been signed require money to be re-paid in these circumstances.

I suppose that a logical question you might want to ask policy makers is "why can't these homes" get relief from suffering in such extreme circumstances, rather than arguing that others shouldn't get relief and support.

Nearly everyone pays for unemployment benefits, so the debate about how much can be paid out and under what circumstances is a legitimate subject -- but so is the subject of what risk workers should be exposed to in the workplace.

Untrue. You cannot gain entry to Shanghai without a green light on a govt required app that says you haven't been in contact with a positive Covid case. You are ignoring the central feature of the Shanghai "opening up" protocol.

I received a message from Mom saying something I posted on this forum breached guidelines. There was no information in the message that indicated what I had said that breached guidelines. The only post I can find that appears missing from my history is a factual post relating to the 1918 Flu...

And even worse, they may force an "amuse bouche" on you which you didn't order. Got to be suspect if they are trying to get you to eat something you didn't ask for.

Seems like a very sensible solution -- hotels can get some income, core staff stay employed, rooms are kept active (cleaned, air conditioned, plumbing doesn't develop airlocks etc) and infections are reduced because positive homeless are isolated and not on the streets. I'm sure deep cleaning...

An interesting condition imposed on Shanghai guests is that they must show a "green" status on a health app that is government issued and used to generate a QR code that is based on a contact tracing and early detection system used in China. In other words, if the app shows you may have had a...

I think the point is he thought he had had the disease and so had "immunities" from anti-bodies. so, in his reasoning, he posed no danger to others and was not at risk himself. (Not sure he was ever tested though). There will be many others who think the same way -- "I had some mild symptoms...

UK health authorities wrote to all doctors 10 days ago warning of an outbreak of toxic shock syndrome/Kawasaki type symptoms in children believed to have a link to COVID. Doctors in Italy and Spain have also identified cases. Not looking like a coincidence when symptoms are appearing across at...

And the person who was ill had not traveled overseas, but his wife - who did not have symptoms - worked at a shop near the main airport and may have been infected there.

And if I was a billion dollar company with time on my hands, I might just be engaging some scientists to do this type of tests before I considered opening -- regardless of what any mayor, governor or task force said.

Can you be safely distanced from me when I am I carriage ahead of you on a roller-coaster and I have just screamed my lungs out as you drop into the space I was in 5 10 seconds before? Just askin'...
