Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[Prince-1]

Where do you see a very good chance?

With the dramatic increase in CV cases in Florida, the delayed opening or Disneyland, plus the fear that a large number of cast members will be contracting the virus and possibly passing it onto the guests which will be some big time negative press which they don’t want or need makes me say they may also delay their opening.

We should start seeing the deaths increase like the cases, starting today or yesterday. Covid hospitalization should be going up dramatically already. Cases already started climbing almost two weeks ago. Hopefully that will not happen and will tamper the number of cases panic.

Don't know why no one has mentioned NJ today , much worse than FL, TX or AZ

*most likley a data error , or they bulk loaded deaths from earlier dates

They must have dredged a river.

I could see the increase in cases potentially being a consideration, but Disneyland pushing their opening doesn't have any weight.

HA, LOL that is true, There are bodies everywhere in that state.

seeing as the vast majority of new cases are still in South Florida, the new cases don't have that much weight either

It’s easy to google herd immunity.

Whoa. I’ve seen some snark but this is a new level ......to The Mom!

They bulk loaded "probable" deaths that hadn't been included earlier, so that's literally 3+ months of deaths being added to the total. I would hope that when they update their charts that they put the deaths in with the dates they actually occurred so that they curve is representative of the facts rather than just lumping them all in to yesterday's total and showing a huge spike for 1 day for no reason other than laziness.

They will and pretty much knew that is what happened, as it happened in other countries states previously and then revised.

Okay, but what if they released the Splash news early because controversy around it can be drowned out by a bigger news story later!?!


*I'm being cheeky*

...kind of

It wasn’t snark. The original poster referred to herd immunity. She was questioning if the poster made it up. It’s actually easy to look up. I kind of interpreted her post as being sarcastic.

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

Oh, sure. You pretty much have to at this point. Still, this addresses the resource issue, but not the virus spreading issue...which is why we have the resource issue in the first place. It just sucks for those workers. And I think it could have been prevented. Ugh.

Any further reopening plans are being suspended as well.

Since you or I have zero clue what they will do I guess we will see soon enough.

That we can agree on.

Two Apple Stores within 12 miles of Disney Springs both closing - Mall at Millenia and Florida Mall

Was that not the goal? I do remember clearly everyone saying to stay home to flatten the curve. I was for it at that point, and I'm for the current levels of masks and distancing. However, I see absolutely no reason to take steps backwards.

You want the top of the curve to be flat (a rolling hill, not Everest) but you don't want it to go on forever. Notice how all the other curves are going down?

ah beat me to it ,

Starting to think some people "goal" is for no one to get sick and die anymore and will not be happy until then. While admirable....

I wouldn't want to be within six feet of someone whose goal was otherwise.

I know it's too late to change things now that things are opening. Its not too late to slow things down til cases start dropping. I have to laugh at the ones who keep saying cases are supposed to rise once things open. I live in Canada and things are opening here. Our cases have held steady around 170 the last few weeks.

I am trying to understand where people keep getting the idea of going back into lockdown. Very few are saying that. Most are saying now that cases are skyrocketing to slow down opening things and in some cases maybe take a step back. I personally don't see the issue with that. Why not be proactive? Instead let's just wait til things get really bad then do something.

I am trying to understand where people keep getting the idea they are not slowing down. They are slowing down the opening or pausing exactly like you are saying, if things weren't going up like they are parts of Florida would be moving into stage 3 level of opening probably next week or so, they won't now. Texas is pausing their opening process. IF trends get worse they will do more.
