Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[GoofGoof]

There’s nothing wrong with optimism. The problem is when you ignore reality.

I pay damn good money to go to WDW and ignore reality...apparently I could have done that for free

 

[GoofGoof]

The problem is no one can be an expert with the unknown. Which this definitely is.

I find being an expert of the unknown is just easier...nobody can prove me wrong

 

[GoofGoof]

Why November? They said end of year

They will probably need that extra month

 

[GoofGoof]

Luckily by then the world will be back to normal

I really hope you are right and you can come back here and laugh at all of us in December. Of course if there’s a vaccine by then I won’t be here...I’m going to Disney World

I heard about the bar in Platteville. My daughter said at Subway people were right next to each other and sitting down with no social distancing. I’m not sure I’d be able to handle that. We’ve got a phased approach to use as guidance. I was shocked there were no plans that had been put out to the public. I thought all states were doing that. My husband said the hospital was pretty busy with elective surgeries now. I heard that Dane County was looking at trying to lock things down again with Milwaukee following. Hope that’s enough to keep everyone safe.

A few counties are closed Dane, Milwaukee, and Brown(meat packing outbreaks happened there)for sure...Kenosha was but they decided to strike that...they were not sure what they could do legally...the city of Racine is too....those were the worst areas...but whats to stop someone from those counties from making a stop in a neighboring county where everything is open and there is not even a limit on gathering

 

[CastAStone]

But you said by September or October...

That’s what they said today, correct

It's good politics to have a vaccine rolled out by October. It's bad politics to promise to have one rolled out by October and then fail. Let's see what happens!

I'm going--not planning, not hoping--going in October.

Yeah. Very good politics. An October surprise to the positive for a candidate before the election. Usually October Surprises are in the negative. So definitely don't promise by October. But promise "by the end of the year". Then have one rolled out in October. So "Let's see what happens" as what a certain President might say.

My “source”, as already stated, is today’s press conference. Specifically the Defense Secretary. Google provides several links if needed

WH press conferences also promised anyone who wants a test can get a test. It’s wasn’t true then and is not true now. This is pure hope and speculation.

Europe seems to watch it just for the laughs.

So do a lot of people here.

Refresh my memory. Did the check from Mexico for the border wall ever clear?

Seems like there may have been a few broken promises along the way...

Cool so now the air is still circulating through the room exactly like before but at least the cards and chips are safe.

sneeze guard? That’s about it.

 

[Bob Harlem]

In the briefing, around 18 minutes in, Demmings says they haven't received formal plans from the parks, but have been talking a lot. He also states some of the minor parks in the County are doing a meeting this week with them about reopening pretty soon themselves. "Sometime in June" with resorts first was the only comments.

Did you know that the fastest we have ever developed a vaccine is 4 years? That was for Ebloa. Effective and safe vaccines can take decades.

Most companies around the world as saying mid to late next year if the current trials go well (and many won't).

 

[Chi84]

Seriously, I’m with you. Let’s focus on the positive If that happens it’s a really big deal. I’m cautiously optimistic based more on what the researchers are saying vs the politicians, but it’s all good news so far.

I agree. What's the point of taking a baseball bat to anyone who posts anything positive or hopeful? People here are intelligent enough to know the difference between a Disney forum and a valid news source and to evaluate comments accordingly. If there's any place you should feel free to post positive and hopeful comments, it's on a Disney forum.

Ebola primarily impacts parts of Africa. Money talks, sad but true. We’ve never had the brainpower (along with the money to back it up) when developing a vaccine in the past. This is an unprecedented process. All that being said early next year looks to probably be the best case scenario.

There's a difference between being positive and hopeful and flat-out posting false information.

Right. But that’s for the reader to discern - unless, of course, the post violates a forum guideline.

I'm not sure I understand? Ebloa primarily impacts Africa and would therefore be very profitable and that's why it was the fastest vaccine to ever be developed by humanity?

Another vaccine stat: the chickenpox vaccine (which could be sold to every child born in the world) took 20 years to develop and test.
