Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

This is the AHCA's dashboard for hospital and ICU capacity, updated this AM

Workbook: Public

It's one datapoint since it doesn't show trends over time, but there are indeed a lot of hospitals with zero ICU capacity.

Blunt reality is that increases in cases are going to result in increases in hospitalizations, which will result in increases in ICU occupancy. The question is whether or not the capacity is there.

However, with cases continuing to soar, there clearly isn't room for growth at some hospitals. Ambulances know where to take people, but what if you are driven in?

At the peak in NJ, I checked our divert status twice a day because our local hospital was often on full divert. Then the next closest one (40 minutes) away was also on full divert. It's not a fun feeling to realize that there isn't room at the in for you should you need it.

Where are you at in the Pineys?!?

Headline on Hollywood Reporter: “Disney World will Partially Reopen Saturday Despite Florida’s Coronavirus Surge.”

USA Today: “Is It Safe For Disney World to Reopen this Weekend as Coronavirus Cases Soar in Florida?”

I guess any publicity is good publicity? A PR disaster looms just over the horizon.

THE POSITIVITY RATE HOLYYYYY

Getting over 16 now?

Where will this cap out? 20? Never thought that was a possibility.

This is the highest its ever been in Florida

the 7 day average is the more important metric so you can see where it’s trending. If it stays above 16% for the next 5 to 7 days..well...

I'm going to predict that similar to how last week hovered in the 14/15 range, this week it may hover around 15/16

I mean I thought we'd start coming down the other way. I guess perhaps maybe this is the last "peak"?

I keep thinking we found the top and then...well, you know.

We will see if 16 is the new 15.

 

[DisneyOutsider]

Arguably the worst day of testing results for Florida thus far... keep posted for the new location of your goalposts, folks

 

[kong1802]

We will see if 16 is the new 15.

I hope that it doesn't.

Guess we will have to wait and see.

 

[Jrb1979]

I wouldn't be surprised if it is. At some point you would think they would have to pull back to help slow the spread.

They have pulled back. I realize not enough to your liking, however.

 

[oceanbreeze77]

this is also the highest Tuesday so it'll be interesting to see how the rest of the week trends

They have closed bars. Big deal. Whatever I will just continue to shake my head.

 

[oceanbreeze77]

median age also back to increasing

dont worry, never fear, the schools were ORDERED to open in 5 weeks!

That is actually a big deal since it has been shown bars have significantly contributed to spread. We know it is the activity with the highest risk.
