Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[oceanbreeze77]

I think they said they are deploying even more CDC and HHS personnel to the outbreak locations (counties).

that's totally something you do when "there's nothing to see here"

 

[legwand77]

Of course, it was 100% because they didnt want people to have to wear a mask in a theme park...yep, totally just that, nothing else at all to see here, move along.

Ok, now moving into they are they are lying, conspiracy.

I hate to break to all of you but my Magic Bands have arrived which means my vacation is on! It’s an unwritten rule that if they show up at your house you are as good as in! Try and convince me other wise!

The only unwritten rule throughout the last four months is that there are no rules.

An interesting report has come out from Spain saying that there was traces of covid in the sewage water from March 2019! More studies like this need to be carried out to see just how long this thing has been around and to see if this was just an anomaly

Yeah saw that one....all I could think of is why on earth are Spain keeping sewage water around for a year!

Well, I mean when parts of the U.S. started to wake up/acknowledge the pandemic. Or stayed asleep/ignored it.

In Late April florida had roughly 50 deaths a day, and the average age of cases was around 60. Now for June we're at 10 deaths a day and the average age of cases is around 37. Severity is down at treatments have improved, based on what happened in New York it won't spike in two weeks either. The largest areas for cases in Orange county is around UCF and Downtown, which is where the younger group typically is.

10 deaths? nah... about 40

Good news FL overall hospital capacity are as of the post, steady and in the normal range as they have been for the past few weeks.

From someone with no horse in American politics (I'm English), the White House briefing (apart from Fauci) is like listening to a political campaign rally.

Welcome to American politics where every briefing is like that.

So who wants to take bets on when we hear from Disney??

Today? Sunday? Monday? July 7?

While everyone is flipping out about bars , restaurants , beaches and theme parks being open let’s not forget that on June 9th, 6,300 people attended the funeral of George Floyd in Houston.
Now Texas is pulling back from reopening and re-closing businesses due to the surge in coronavirus cases.
Surely this is unrelated. Tulsa will be next and all I really want to do is wear my mask and ride Splash one last time!

Here’s my issues:

Florida will most likely need to scale back. Other states are going in a downward trend in cases.

So where does that leave us? More jobs lost, lives lost, and NO government intervention because they will be focusing on rebuilding the economy of the opening states.

I fear for my husband’s job. Even though it’s been shown that he’s essential and was recalled in one of the first waves... CAN Disney survive being closed longer?!

Can universal afford close again?

If Florida had closed 2 weeks earlier and opened 2 weeks later I think we’d be in a vastly different scenario.

Don't we all I was all set to ride classic Spaceship Earth just before it was closing. Crossing my fingers they've still not touched it by the time this all blows over and traveling over from the UK is 'normal' again.

This was the 2nd biggest concern with opening up early.

I just got mine also!!! The parks will be open and I will happily let people know how low the crowds are.

The parks were going to be open May, mid-May and June according to insiders! Sure, this has been officially announced but I'm still waiting with baited breath.

This was the 2nd biggest concern with opening up early.

And it was widely shared.

I felt like everyone was saying it, and still, here we are.....

Confirming they will stay open with proper safety measures? I vote early next week.

They already confirmed that yesterday. No reason to do it again. The only reason to hear from Disney would be if they push back.
