When you cough, talk or breathe out, most of the droplets and particles are accelerated towards the mask where it can capture them before the air heads to the edges to escape the path of least resistance.
They aren’t doing drink service but the flight attendants still have to walk up and down the aisle, close the luggage bins, assist passengers when they push the button, etc.. I get that people think wearing a mask is a big inconvenience and want to look for reasons they shouldn’t have to, but the people who work as a flight attendant shouldn’t be put at risk because someone has their own theory. At the end of the day it’s up to the airlines. If they don’t require it then there’s nothing the flight attendants can do, If the airlines or FAA make masks required then your choices as a customer are wear one or don’t fly. Same goes for WDW. If I had anywhere to go right now and needed to fly I’d wear a mask. If they require it for a theme park I’m just not going. Everyone can make their own call.

I wonder if CMs get to take them off during their breaks (or get a fresh one). Will there be anyplace for guests to get a break from their masks all day? (they can let one person into any former smoking area at a time...). I am half serious. I can't imagine guests pulling their masks down for 10 seconds minutes and then getting doused by hoses full of sanitizer by angry magical mobs.
Where are they getting these masks from? Assuming a very low crowd day of 10,000 people per day in a park and 10 indoor attractions per person on average that’s 100,000 masks. Multiply that by 4 parks plus Disney Springs and the resorts and they would need at least half a million masks a day. 15 million in a month. I don’t know if they could even buy that many masks anywhere right now. If there’s a mask requirement I would expect BYOM (bring your own mask)
They definitely would sell the cloth ones with Disney characters.

I can see when mandatory face masks go into effect that some ice cream and soda sales not meeting sales targets since guests like myself use to spend on these items and walk, talk, eat, stand in line enjoying my Mickey bar or diet Coke.
They should never have removed the benches from the parks - those were spaced far apart enough that you could grab a snack, sit down and eat, and still be 6' away from anyone else.
in all the nursing homes I work with (albeit a small and anecdotally small number) anyone with a fever and cough gets tested. They are already isolated in their rooms (another topic on the mental and physical toll this is taking)
yes the pressure of irresponsible media reporting for sensational headlines! All the local sheriffs and mayors stated the pictures didn’t describe FAMILY groups who didn’t have to distance, and the patrols by sheriffs who reminded the others (who complied). Hopefully the governor learned from his knee jerk response.
Wet do zero good. Plus they then get heavy. And UNCOMFORTABLE. Think blisters on feet bad- wait until you have sores rubbed behind ears from wet, heavy uncomfortable cloth masks .
Yeah not even close. Anything other than medical grade or respirators haven’t shown to be effective and in fact, could contribute to more contamination. The cloth ones really don’t do much. The studies on mask effectiveness are done on medical grade ones, and the (few) studies on bandanna or loose cloth masks show airflow doesn’t stop much. The WHO for that reason doesn’t recommend them. Why cdc does is subject for a different forum. For goodness sakes people also sneeze for reasons other than covid too.
Anything is possible. Based on all the info we have they would have somewhere around 4 to 8 weeks to sort it all out. Right now there’s no masks to be had, but if Disney found a company (ironically probably in Wuhan
) and ordered 20M masks that would probably be a huge score for them. Especially if it’s a recurring order.No ordinary cloth mask is going to keep me from a Mickey bar
I say bring back the benches so I can take off my mask, sit down away from others so I can eat my Mickey bar in peace.
Face coverings of any kind aren't about keeping the virus out. They're about keeping your own germs in...so that if you are asymptomatic, you don't accidentally infect anyone.
True .. there will be lot's off potential sales losses for disney for snacks and souvenirs, even before Covid-19 .. I never endulged in Snacks like popcorn(etc), if I couldn't wash my hands beforehand (pun). No more 'precuddles' for plush toys, maybe a "demo" unit and then a wrapped one for purchase.. like perfume testers ? .. all details that need to be figured out.
How about t-shirts and Mickey ears? No trying them on? There are so many things we took for granted that will change...at least for a little while
That face mask will get in the way when trying to figure out what perfume,cologne to try and buy in Italy and France in Epcot.
I don't disagree, but I have never tried on shirts before and i would always wash em before I wear them. Maybe I am just strange that way. (granted, the WDW winbreaker I bought last year in the Swan giftshop, I actually tried out if it fits)How about t-shirts and Mickey ears? No trying them on?

Thank you for that. Sometimes you just feel like blowing your top over some that just don’t get it. Saw your response and you just saved me 10 minutes of typing.
Hahah, i went to the Epcot England Perfume store (pardon I don't recall the name) and I had to spray the stuff on a papercard and go outside to smell it, the inside was a mishmash of so many scents, that I couldn't tell right from wrong
Thank my youngest son, lol. He's taught me to have more patience than I thought possible.Thank you for that. Sometimes you just feel like blowing your top over some that just don’t get it. Saw your response and you just saved me 10 minutes of typing.
