Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[Jrb1979]

Seems like a resounding endorsement for not wearing masks, Canada is doing great with the virus and don't require masks just recommends them.

Most of our population are following social distancing guidelines and they have been fining people for not complying. It seems to be working.

Not denying that. Just referencing the retorts from some earlier

what @GoofGoof said about the positivity rate is what we have been saying all along.

Well, if they denied it in May that testing was going up they were wrong. The facts back that up. In June so far the testing isn’t going up. They are a week behind publishing the weekly test totals so maybe there’s a bump up last week.

They also don’t have restaurants open or theme parks. You don’t need masks if nothing is open

Restaurants are open now but only patios. No indoor seating. All retail has been open for over a month now so you would expect a rise in cases and it hasn't really happened here.

Ok, so you don't need masks outside or grocery stores or hardware stores or any retail etc. those are open.

I thought some were adamantly saying more testing is not the reason for more cases

Some were saying that it is part of the reason not all of it. There are more people here saying it’s the exact reason. Once again you cherry pick when needed. Here’s a perfect example.

This week, both Connecticut and Arizona conducted 1.7 tests per 1,000 people, according to Johns Hopkins University's testing tracker. Yet, while Connecticut had 1.3% positive, Arizona had 22.1% positive for COVID-19.

As you can see, it’s not always the case as some make it out to be.

My point was the graphs from Georgia that I posted. Where am I cherry picking when I am not even discussing percent positive or whatever you are diverting to. You are comparing AZ data to CT data.

And @GoofGoof brought up how during this time ,testing increased, which was true. But positivity rate also decreased. You then said that people were saying that more testing is not the case for the spikes, but what we were saying is that it all depends on how the positivity rate moves with that extended testing. Right now, testing AND positivity rate are moving together, so no, the current spikes are NOT a result of testing

Except she also said they were following social distancing and going very slow. I don’t think a lot of people would be in favor of that approach here. They don’t even have a timeline for theme parks opening yet. No indoor seating at restaurants let alone bars.

Your post was a response to a post about Georgia with Florida mentioned, with a comment about some people on here “ adamantly saying more testing is not the reason for more cases”.
My response was to that comment. No diversion at all.

Same thing a goal of no one getting the Coronavirus is nice, but realistically history shows that won't happen soon even with a vaccine.

The Kiwis seemed to have managed without one. I see no reason to lower our expectations.

Different culture and its an Island?

 

[legwand77]

Now some are debating/agreeing with each other over points that I haven't even made but that you like to think I made.

 

[legwand77]

Different culture and its an Island?

and that is to start

 

[lilypgirl]

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.

Yet the specifically said today they weren’t ! I think this is wishful thinking on your part.

The 2 countries really are not comparable.

Problem with bars is you can’t wear a mask.

wonder how they'll open epcot then... cheeky grin

 

[legwand77]

Great to see the number of US deaths decline another 23-25% from the same day last week. 38% down from the previous Thursday prior. Continuing the trend down and lowest day since the end of March. Hope it keeps trending down.

ETA - hospitalizations in Florida are still holding steady in the normal range

What’s the population of Canada compared to US?

 

[Kevin_W]

What’s the population of Canada compared to US?

About 1/10. Currently, Canada's confirmed cases per day are less than 1/100th though:

Deaths track closer, with only a factor of 2 difference when normalized per capita:
