Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[GoofGoof]

Interesting poll. Only 40% of people surveyed said they would go to a sporting event, concert or theme park before there is a vaccine. That seems lower than I would have assumed. 32% said they would not go to a movie theater until a vaccine. Not good news for a company that makes movies and runs theme parks

Most Americans to avoid sports, other live events before coronavirus vaccine: Reuters/Ipsos

Fewer than half of Americans plan to go to sports events, concerts, movies and amusement parks when they reopen to the public until there is a proven coronavirus vaccine, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Tuesday.

I know. It's another province (kind of like saying "another state"). And it's their prerogative.

We'll see if it works out for them. I do hope it does, because working from home for almost 2 months now is incredibly boring. However, few people over here think it will.

I'll look kindly on them for offering themselves as a test subject. Same for the States down south.

It’s just your original post didn’t seem to carry this level of kindness. It was barely concealed disgust with the US of A. Which, I mean it’s fine, but don’t hold Canada up as some shining beacon of righteousness.

Bad timing on this poll. I’m assuming that in 2 months, that number will change significantly.

Up or down? A resurgent spike in infections between now and July will knock the figures for maintained closure out of the ballpark.

Omg, how awful. Another terrible example of how people can be imprisoned indefinitely, while having committed no crime.

They were/are taking good of the crew. We had training wen could go to and still working a little bit each day to keep the ship running and beautiful so we will be ready to welcome back guests!

Nope, I will go to Rammstein in Chicago come September.

And a decrease, or stabilization, will make people more comfortable about going out in public again.

I hope to too. Not specifically Rammstein (rock band?) but I’m hoping come September things are going good enough for most people to feel comfortable. If not so be it, but I’m hopeful

Yes. This next month or so is going to determine so much of our future I think. As it relates to wdw and just life in general.

Welcome back guests? Yeah, good luck with that!! LOL!!
How many people on how many ships were told just a few weeks ago, "Sorry, we don't care if you starve or die, you aren't allowed to get off HERE!" and you think people are revved up to get back on those ships?!?

Again, this has been debunked by the health department they work in and scientists at large. It is a conspiracy theory that has been removed by YouTube and Facebook - that alone should tell you all you need to know.

For health matters, one should rely on peer reviewed data and research that cites the original primary sources.

Though Widely Discredited, Bakersfield Doctors' COVID-19 Test Conclusions Spread Like Wildfire | KQED

The medical duo lit up social media with conclusions about their clinic's coronavirus tests, suggesting the virus is no more deadly than influenza. But infectious disease modelers quickly assailed their claims as statistically flawed, and YouTube has since removed their video.

Sorry, you beat me to it.

Yes a rock band, that I’ve seen twice. Finally some good info from you! I kid.

Dr. Birx made it clear that only those where COVID-19 was a contributing factor have their deaths listed as such. It is explained, in detail, in the article via the CDC guidance. Stop spreading baseless conspiracy theories.

i think originally she wasn’t so clear during a press conference. But she clarified on a later date. There should be a video on her original back and forth with the reporter somewhere. Maybe this is where this all comes from?? This is just my recollection..

 

[Sans Souci]

Ok. You just used 2 sources that many would say are biased. Now, they ARE sources. I COULD also provide 2 sources...biased of course...to support the opposite. Now that being said, can we agree that we should be skeptical about it all?

The Economist is a pro-business, neoliberal publication.

 

[Lilofan]

And my source was Dr. Birx herself, my cousin, and the 2 Bakerfield Doctors who actually treated over 1,000 patients, but hey they aren't the CDC, who of course is never off with numbers.

I had to re-read . I thought I read that the famous Dr Birx is your cousin.

I almost got tickets for Motley Crue/Def Leopard/Poison at Citizens Bank Park in August. I didn’t pull the trigger because it was right before I was leaving for WDW. Now I don’t know if either will happen

OMG...dream concert of my high-school, big-haired, head-banging self!

I know. I’m officially old enough to go to concerts for bands that were popular when I was young
