This is a very interesting topic. I just went to WDW for the first time in 5 years and was able to ride both MMRR & RoTR. I thought both were great rides but both had some challenges. First MMRR was too short in my opinion. It went by awfully fast and I thought spending a little more time...

Fair enough but I'm not going to form an opinion on the matter until I know what the outcomes are for the situation. Just getting COVID isn't that big of an issue.

I don't have an actual number to give you but it isn't 0. People die everyday. Some could have been prevented some not. But this has nothing to do with the original post. If 700 people get COVID but none have serious outcomes why do we care?

Yes! I was just speaking with my Mother about Christmas Eve (our Thanksgiving is always small just immediate family so we don't have an issue there) and if we should get together with our extended family. We are going to wait and see how everyone feels and what the current state of the...

True we should be working on making ourselves healthier I don't deny that and I am very much in agreement. Still it does nothing to say that 700 people got COVID and so we should be upset. I don't care if the whole world gets COVID. What I care about is how many of them have serious outcomes...

I actually think the good majority of people are doing the right thing. I can certainly see that in my neighborhood and with my friends. It is my opinion that we are taking our safety protocols as being more safe then they are and that we are also having more aerosol spread. I think that is...

No, for a lockdown to work EVERYTHING essential or non-essential needs to close. You don't leave to go to the hospital, you don't leave for food, you don't leave for exercise. You leave for nothing for like 2-3 months. That is what would work but it isn't feasible at all. Your idea of...

You don't have to enforce anything. You have public places & places of work with the same protocols we have now. You just can't mandate that everyone follow the protocols in their own homes or that they can't go somewhere higher risk (restaurants, theme parks, movie theaters, bars). It really...

We can agree to disagree but the largest point of what I was saying has never been implemented. A clear, consistent message from all leaders on how we need to come together and do what we can to reduce the spread and to protect people of high risk. Without that first step people have nothing...

Ok, and how many of them died? In any given year most of the world's population gets some sort of cold or illness and they recover. So if most of the population are recovering from COVID then what is the big deal? These are college kids who are in a group that it is rare for death or serious...

And yes, I do think they can work just fine if they are taking part in riskier behaviors. They should still mask and social distance at work. If they are sick or they know they were exposed to COVID then they should quarantine. Most people who work in hospitals in hot spots have already...

Gotcha as I did miss your point about why take taxes out when it is being funded by tax payers. I see the flawed logic there by our government. And I think we are a bit different then China but if China requires that you do something for government money then I"m all for it. Social security...

I don't know what Sirwalterraleigh wrote as I ignore him but yeah I'm fine with those willing to take risks going to house parties without masks or social distancing. However those same people should stay away from high risk individuals unless the high risk individual is okay with taking the...

Your reasoning is flawed though as I didn't say open up without restrictions. I say open everything but with restrictions. I don't like mask mandates but I'm fine if a business wants to require them. I would even be okay with asking all people to wear masks. What I'm saying is that we should...

I think your missing the point. You will never recoup the entire amount of what is given to citizens by taxing what you give them. It still creates a huge amount of debt in the government and could lead to massive inflation which would hurt everyone. Again I'm not completely against giving...

Sure there is. Most places are doing this already. Having "senior hours" at stores to limit how many people are around the higher risk people. Many senior activities are on-hold. Coming up with practical ways to visit those who are high risk by either meeting outdoors or using masks and...

So they pay taxes on the free money and that somehow helps the government recoup the money they just spent?? Overall I'm not for government assistance without the person doing something for it. I'm fine with picking up garbage or a beautification program. And I understand help is necessary...

Very much agree. Someone else posted that the messaging in Canada has been more about let's come together and we can defeat the disease. I wish we had more of that in the US. That was the messaging in WWI and WWII that forged greatness from everyone. All we do is fight over EVERYTHING. All...

That is certainly possible but I haven't yet been convinced by the studies I have seen. Either way I don't think it is a bad idea. I don't think they need to be worn when outdoors and you can maintain social distancing.

I don't think many (or any that I have seen except maybe Sweden) are advocating for reaching herd immunity naturally. Since this virus is highly contagious if we did go for this strategy I highly suspect that within 6 mos we would be out of the pandemic but the death rate would be extremely...
