Here is an interesting question with the recent travel ban news...how does this effect the NBA coming down in mid July.

 

[DisneyCane]

Poking through the dashboard, it appears that the following counties were the major drivers of today's explosion vs. the last few days:

Brevard, Dade, Hillsborough (300 cases higher than previous high), Lee, Orange (100+ over previous high), Pasco, Seminole, and St. Lucie (a little). I was looking for counties with significant increases yesterday over the other days of this recent spike.

One observation is that it is not an across the board spike. The counties (even ones with similar population density areas) do not behave the same as each other. From Monday to Tuesday Broward was flat and Dade had an increase of over 250 cases. The two counties are pretty similar and adjacent.

Trading the news rarely works unless you have access to futures markets. Markets have been bullish on a gradual recovery. Seems that there are some fears that we are hitting a big set-back. I think the quarantine orders from NY are a pretty loud signal.

...yeah. Investors have been forced into market trading because there’s no interest rates and no money in anything else.

Also...and this is the definition of scum...they’re guessing about how massive layoffs and salary dumping once this is all over will make companies “more valuable”

What a slimey world.

I’d take 3:1 odds they back out unless numbers get stabilized.

I believe they are already quarantining when they get here. I'd guess they will do so if they eventually need to return to tri-state area as well.

The numbers are probably even worse because tests are not easy to get:

I believe this is Orange County's only drive up site which is, uhhh... not great.

...I’ll give Pennsylvania till about noon tomorrow

There go my plans to visit the Smokey Mountains in August instead of WDW. I guess I’ll start looking at cabin rentals on the TN side since NC is on that list now

These travel bans were always a political stunt. People got annoyed when I said that back in April when FL started this and it still applies today. There are counties in western NC where there have only been 40 cases all time but someone from there has to quarantine 14 days if they visit a county in upstate NY which also has only had 40 cases all time.

No impact coming down...just going home for anyone from NY/NJ/CT.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Actually its more than that. Currently if you travel to FL from NY/NJ/CT you are required to 14 day quarantine, then you can go about your plans but now on the return to your home state of NY/NJ/CT, guess what it's another 14 day quarantine for you upon return.

Unlike Florida...there’s some rumblings here in the JERZ that they’re actually gonna track this.

Like if you go to your office 5 days after coming back from Florida...stiff penalties.

It’s been a no joke struggle here for 4 months...I can’t fault not messing around now when things just reopened and the cases have gone to near flatline

I was just speculating...but I bet the Wolf will be along shortly

I rented a beach house in FL for July 18th....wonder how this is gonna go down, hah

Lol...I shouldn’t laugh...it’s not funny...

But New York/New Jersey always “get even”. True to character

Yes you know Cuomo did not mind signing that order

Could be related to reporting or even testing delays. Someone takes a vacation day and some Of the data gets reported a day later or lab tests take an extra day. I know where I live now we see a dip every week on Sunday/Monday and an uptick Tuesday due to both those reasons. Also our drive thru testing center is closed on the weekends now. This weekend was particularly skewed because the county offices were closed on Fri for Juneteenth.

I didn't realize that the NBA got a pass on that required FL travel ban from NY/NJ/CT. I thought anyone from these states had to 14 day quarantine in FL? Has that been changed?

 

[legwand77]

Leisure travelers?

Loading up the kids and going to Vegas or Orlando for a 7 day jaunt?

not takin the family to disney , since they are closed , and not Vegas for obvious reasons. Beaches are very crowded though and like normal for this time of year.

My boss lives in NJ and has a house booked in central FL in August in one of those communities with a pool. He ruled out taking the kids to a theme park already but was planning to still go and just hang at the house and pool. This will almost certainly result in a cancel now. He won’t want to have to quarantine for 14 days and it was the end of August so his kids wouldn’t be able to start school. Not a good development for the tourism industry.

They are already quarantining in the bubble before practice and play starts. The players arrive before they start up even if they aren’t from the impacted states.

The NBA is quarantining before starting their activities.
