I am genuinely curious as to why a WDW resort stay would be worth the money without the parks when you could book a much cheaper off site resort if you really wanted to visit.

But that isn’t really public health science. That is an emotional response.

Your post had nothing to do with what I asked him. I asked him who said the riots were excusable like he said people were saying. He did not respond and your post did not either. We all know the heavy damage small business has taken. That wasn’t the point of the inquiry. Anyway, we are off topic for here.

My point is that the media didn't say the riots were excusable.
Not in words.
Rather, they decided that we didn't need to know about them.
Nor have they focused on the loss of life. How many even know who David Dorn is?

I'm pretty sure that chart is using the overall positive rate, not the new case positive rate. The relevant rate to the disease prevalence is the new case positive. The overall testing numbers include re-tests of previous positives. These are completely irrelevant to trends. The weekly metric on the dashboard is the new case positive rate.
The new case positive rate 6/1-6/6 was 5.66%, 4.51%, 3.51%, 3.33%, 3.21%, 2.60%. I'll wait for the dashboard to calculate the average. To figure it out from the report requires figuring out the denominator for each day because the report has total tests but doesn't remove the re-tests. I'd guess that when the dashboard updates the weekly stats the new case positive rate will remain roughly flat in the 3.5%-4% range where it has been except for the one low outlier week.
Daily hospitalizations as tracked by tallahasseereports.com show a slight downward trend. Since hospitalization rate should track roughly with actual (not documented) cases, that indicates that the outbreak isn't increasing. If anything, it is decreasing after the whole state entered "full Phase 1." It is too early to judge Phase 2 for all except Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade.

This is the guidance that the gov't has me following for preparing our workplace for full reentry of personnel. Masks are not recommended unless you have constant, prolonged <6ft separation from co-workers, otherwise they are not recommended for workers (food/customer service is a different category than normal staff/office jobs). Like I said earlier, me, my wife and kids tested positive for the antibody, so I'm not discounting the virus. It was a hell of a cold for me since I'm more prone to bronchial issues (had bronchitis for a month afterward), and my sons rolling fever was a bit scary.
Nevertheless, I know that there is a mass hysteria (because that's how we do it nowadays) and folks want to feel safe. People that feel they are more susceptible to it (over 65, obese, underlying heath issues) should take caution. Those who are healthy, not in the higher age ranges, or feel they'll be 'okay', should probably just live their lives and not worry about something that is going to be around until the end of time.

Wow, I can't believe I don't see anyone here commenting on the resort article. They specifically said that having a resort reservation does NOT guarantee you access to the theme parks. That is very different from other places and I can maybe see why but that would NOT want to make me stay on-site with the prices being what they are...

Anything going around about those High-Tech Baggage Scanners being installed at all the parks?
I don't follow. I'm not aware of a flight ban *into* Orlando. I can get a flight today from LHR to MCO on American, United, BA, Air France, etc.
Even the state of emergency which currently has a quarantine order for people from NYC et al is currently scheduled to expire around July 9th (unless it gets extended again).
Now the UK *does* currently have a required quarantine for travel back into the UK (not sure why they enacted it now though, seems a bit late); no idea how long that will stay in effect with so many opposing it.
The US border is closed to non-US citizens arriving from Europe. Flights can operate, but depending on the passport you have, it may not be possible to fly.

Asymptomatic spread of coronavirus is 'very rare,' WHO says
Government responses should focus on detecting and isolating infected people with symptoms, said the WHO's Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove.

Interesting. This will add to the average lay-person's confusion (or anger) over confusing and changing guidance, I suspect. I'd also bet it will be used as ammunition from the anti-mask crowd since the primary justification I've heard is that you might be asymptomatic and transmitting the disease, so wear the mask as a precaution.
