Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[milordsloth]

Telling someone to try to get the laws changed if they feel the laws are deficient is not discussing politics.

I might be the type of dumb person who goes to a theme park during a pandemic, but that sure sounds like politics

5 Central Florida hospitals hit ICU capacity, but region still has beds available for any COVID-19 surge

Intensive care units at several hospitals in Central Florida were at full capacity on Monday, as the state reported more than 6,000 new cases of coronavirus and 47 deaths. Orlando Health ORMC, Orla…

In a sense, but I think the kind of political discussion that’s not welcome here is discussion involving specific politicians, political philosophy, and partisan politics. I don’t think telling someone to contact their congressperson is forbidden.

Let me try my hand at spin just to see how it feels.....

Ok , hospitals routinely run at 90%. Have to make money, right? This is only 10% more than that.

I can’t do it..

Wish we could say we didn’t know that increased cases could somehow lead to increased hospitalizations.....

Heres a list

44 Florida hospitals at ICU capacity

The following hospitals had 0 percent adult bed availability in their intensive care units as of July 6, according to data from the Florida Agency for Healthcare Administration.

Yea, and dams probably operate at around 90% capacity too, but if it starts hitting greater than 100% capacities, it’s still a problem.

Just because hospitals normally operate at high percentages (from what I can find the hourly actually varies between >50% and <90%), doesn’t mean that this surge isn’t an issue.

You can dismiss it as “only 10% more” if you want, but hitting capacity means patients getting turned away/rerouted to different hospitals and getting either delayed care or not the level of care that is needed.

Edit: it’s late and I think I (hopefully) missed the implied sarcasm in your post. Gonna leave the original response up for people who actually believe that type of logic

This and at somepoint, too many get rerouted and then there's not enough room for the people in that city and so they get rerouted, and its a messy chain

Orlando Regional Medical Center and AdventHealth Orlando are each among the largest hospital complexes in the country. Not county, not state, the entire country. Yes, they do a lot more than intensive care, but it should still be something of a wake up call that one of these facilities has hit a baseline capacity as surrounding facilities do the same.

What did South Korea do that is impossible for the USA to do?

Personal responsibility and regard for others come to mind that our country is lacking in.

On that note, anyone think there will be protestors on opening day protesting the park opening?

If there are any it would several miles from the park entrance like by Crossroads on 535 near Disney Springs.

That’s the spirit, stay positive.

If we all collectively believe in the power of our dreams and American dominance...we can get back to watching the fireworks.

People run that light and the one at 535/536 all the time

At first I thought that was AP prices compared to inflation.

Too soon?
