No, but all it did was speed up their death by a year or two. Now, for them, is that a big deal, sure. But this isn’t a plague going through and killing people indiscriminately. And as the report states, the secondary deaths are massive, and 100% from Covid, and the vast majority are people who are young, and not well past average life expectancy.

I didn't see that, that is good.

You know what's funny?
Not really. Still plenty of capacity restrictions in place.

Wow, that is a huge spike in testing. Is that just people getting the message that cases are spreading in Florida? Or is that a targeted test of a certain segment?
Glad to see cases go down slightly with the large # of tests instead of up.

This still exists.

I think it’s all about tone from the top. People see the government at the local and now state level requiring masks and calling this a pause makes people realize they need to start taking this more seriously. I still think the majority of people want to follow the rules but if the tone from the top isn’t strong it’s easy to ignore some.

Come on now, if you have asthma, you aren't dying in a year or two.

Especially coming from abbott.
*don't mean for this to be political, but Abbott has been one of the governors seriously advocating for reopening, so the flip is quite alarming.

Yes. It's a peer reviewed study.
Feel free to review it yourself: https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/1...y&utm_campaign=covidfasttrack&utm_content=lyu
All their data and methods are layed out.

What are you talking about! I always use my teleportation device to get there. I keep it in the attic so I don't even have to leave the house.

As they suspend non-essential surgeries, hospitals cut back on staffing. So now you'll have more people out of work. People just couldn't be bothered to think of others. Ugh.
It’s EXACTLY what you said
“For example, a CM at the carousel sees a guy turn the corner where Philharmagic is with no mask on holding a Starbucks cup. If he gets past the carousel without taking any sips the CM should step in and ask him to put the mask on.”
It's a mixture of both. Some areas, such as prisons, jails, detention centers, farms, low income housing, etc have had crews come in and actually do 100% testing. These are areas with high density occupation which is a risk factor, just like nursing homes. But the population is generally younger. Other areas have had an increase of people who just want to be sure they don't have it, due to reports of asymptomatic cases.

Bingo - a renewed push to indefinitely postpone all elective procedures is a big highlight here, and all the implications that come with it.

This is EXACTLY what I was saying would happen.
Come on now, if you have asthma, you aren't dying in a year or two.
So, do you not believe that the AVERAGE age of victims is 80?

I imagine they believe the benefits of suspension outweigh the consequences.

That was not in the article when I read it. That should help to a degree. Doesn't stop people from going to the bars and getting COVID-19.

You are delusional. Besides coming in this or other threads every few weeks and attacking anything I post you also seem to lack the ability to comprehend the English language. How does what I said have anything to do with spotters with radios?
When a CM who is doing their job (whatever that job is) sees someone without a mask they can and will ask them to put the mask on. It’s no different than someone smoking or not wearing a shirt or shoes.

the thing people don't realize about Disney is that you're being watched, EVERYWHERE.
