Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[oceanbreeze77]

The problem is now the Marlins need to bring up a dozen players to replace the guys on quarantine but that takes time to coordinate and they don’t know if anyone else is infected. They May need to miss a week of the season now and that’s hard to make up. That’s why I’m thinking they cut the season off on Sept 1 or Sept 15 and then just try for makeup games for 2 to 4 weeks depending on how many other teams have the same problem. You have to have all teams play the same number of games unless you do a 30 team tournament for the playoffs and everyone gets in. It’s going to be a wild ride.

I'm thinking they call the season by the end of the week.

Or they could tighten restrictions and not panic quite yet?

its not a panic, its a logistical nightmare.

Maybe, but they knew that going in.

I disagree, Manfred had dollar signs in his eyes and said to heck with everything else. The lackluster dugout rules are proof of that.

They could change a lot about the overall dugout rules and standards. IMO all players should be wearing masks when in the dugout or batting. Infielders should be wearing one when there's base runners. If you're not playing in the game currently, you should be sitting in the stands or distanced in the clubhouse.

These are things that can all be corrected. I've never liked Manfred and he's done a terrible job as a commissioner even pre-covid imo, but I do not believe that a knee jerk cancellation is needed yet.

the week feels a lot like March already. The news is already rough this morning and If the MLB cancels the season, I would expect more big time things to wind down as well, disney included.

No it doesn’t. The southern wave of the virus is receding. Before people go nuts, it’s not gone, it’s receding. This is nothing like March.

Isn't it a bit early to say it's truly receding?

No. Because it is receding. It’s a little early to say it’s definitely burning out, I’ll agree there. Trends are looking good though.

My stance isn’t that Covid19 is “no big deal”

My stance is that government mandated lockdowns do more harm then good. They aren’t a blunt tool, they are a bomb that misses its target.

It worked here as we are reopening now and our numbers have stayed very low. It does work if you do it properly like was originally planned. It should have been 2 to 4 weeks between phases. Instead it was a week.

At any level? Or at an extreme “essential only” level?

I think restrictions for indoor dining, bars, sports arenas and theaters do more good than harm.

Who is getting 24 hour turn arounds? My brother took around 8 days to receive his results and my mom, who is tested every other week takes at least 7 days each time.

Co-worker currently off waiting results taken July 15th, work will not determine if his close contacts need to take off until results return. This is why things are spreading, too late to trace correctly.

took me 12 days to get my results

I was getting tests back in 24-48 hours as of two weeks ago. Since then, though, it has stretched to 5-7 days. All due to increased testing volume nationally (our tests are not run locally).

I'm still curious as to why the Covid tracking project always shows ~20,000 tests per day less than what the FDOH shows. Covidtrackign says: "Florida's report states that: "People tested on multiple days will be included for each day a new result was received." Are they subtracting those out? It certainly changed the % positive number by a huge amount.

I prefer weekly averages to looking at days due to volatility in daily reporting.
Last 7 days daily avg 10,283 positive 97,632 tests 10.5% positive
previous 7 days daily avg 11,074 positive 93,488 tests 11.8% positive
7% drop in daily new cases and percent positive is down a little over 1%.

I leave it up to others to interpret if that’s receding or not, but the numbers are definitely down at least week over week.

Being serious here.. I don’t think anyone knows what the true numbers are. Delayed, things not included, others included twice,charts from the same day for anyplace all different from each other. I think the only way to look at this stuff is take a few different ones from reputable sources and maybe take averages? Who knows.

I'll say I'm cautiously optimistic that it is receding.

Not in a "mission accomplished" kind of way, mind you.

If we can all just keep on with the masks and other precautions we can get a handle on it and move forward.

Dunno.

But it's not too far off from FL's own numbers, which are self-admittedly always two weeks behind from being fully complete...
