Then you must also be a strong advocate for bans on alcohol, cigarettes, cars, sugar, and fast food. Because those, too, cause great damage to public health- and often to the health of innocent others, like unborn babies and even children who feel the effects of their parents’ poor nutritional...

Which cases were thrown out of court? There are many, many cases still pending regarding shutdowns. We only wish the legal system could work as quickly as you imply. While the government does have some power to forcefully close businesses, there are strong arguments about the arbitrary nature of...

Just read about the order. It’s not being enforced with fines. Mayor just asks for “voluntary compliance.” Masks are also only required when six feet of distance can’t be maintained. So looks like they can mostly be chin decorations.

Maybe that’s the idea, but as we know from experience, many people aren’t complying with the mask requirement. Mask compliance requires a collective mentality- that we are somehow responsible for everyone else. A lot of people disagree with that mentality and will not comply without force- which...

I really don’t understand why we (businesses, the government) can’t just devote resources to making and distributing N95s to people who want them. Then all of this “Others have a responsibility to protect me” goes away. People who want protection can wear the N95s, taking the responsibility off...

I do. I feel very lucky. I hope things open up soon in the UK for those who want to travel and vacation. Being isolated is tolerable for a short time, but the negative mental and emotional effects of long-term shutdowns can be devastating for some.

The mask requirement may not exclude your kids, but surely you understand that your kids are not just exactly like all other kids in the country, right? Have you seen all the comments from parents that their kids cannot tolerate masks? Have you listened to them? Or have you just dismissed...

Th The poor kids have been effectively excluded by the mask rule. I’ll bet the Lego Store hates the rule. It is probably costing them a lot of money.

We will probably try both of those. They sound fun.

Thanks! I’ll check these out. We did an escape room in Atlanta and had fun with it.

No way to know. Communication from Disney has been dismal. I’ve gotten more Covid-19 communication from companies with whom I’ve never done business than I have from Disney, with whom I’ve spent tens of thousands.

I’ve still got nothing at all from them. Not one word of communication. Not for June. Not for July. And my resort reservations and fastpasses for June and July are still in the system- and my dining reservations are still there for July.

That’s odd. Every resort I’ve checked other than Disney and Universal have masks required for employees and optional for guests. Disney and Universal are anomalies, as far as I’ve seen. Maybe you aren’t looking at Southern beach resorts? Or other resorts in Orlando? There seem to be plenty of...

Haven't found any public spaces in Georgia or Tennessee that require them for anyone except employees- except for doctor's offices. And we have been a lot of places: restaurants, parks, retail, gyms . . . Many places in Florida don't require them, either, according to a friend who lives at the...

Does your mask match your soapbox?

They never made it out of my mementos box. Hoping to keep them there.

I am talking about resorts. Hotels. Not parks. Our plan will probably be to stay at a nice resort with upscale pools and a water park.

Completely agree with that. We have two reservations in July and it would be nice to know what is going on. Probably cancel both anyway if facemasks are required- since they aren’t required at most other resorts in Florida- but guests do deserve information. Disney hasn’t said anything at all...

Do they need to present that? Resorts in Florida are already open. I don’t think they need specific approval for that. Guidelines for resorts have been out for a long time now. They could have opened resorts weeks ago if they wanted to, right? I understand why they wouldn’t, but I think that’s...

Wasn't it reported that Disney's facial recognition system noted the shooter's scoping-out of the venue and they reported him to the FBI even before the shooting? I wonder what the whole required-mask thing is doing to their security plan. I would imagine it is posing lots of challenges they...
