The US has a very diverse population with 50 diverse states. This leads to differing opinions. I would say the vast majority try to use common sense, whether they agree with lockdowns or whatever other measures that have been used.
Millions have been sucking it up for quite some time now. I get that the reaction may be to bash the population. I just don’t think its fair.
I know...and those who are refusing to are making it more difficult for everyone.
My in-laws own a rental house in Southwest Harbor and a cabin on a place called Toddy Pond in Maine. I've never been. I just can't do cold and stay busy in the summer. I'll have to get up there someday since my bucket list is visit every National park and Acacia is around the corner.
I can comfirm. I live in a city right across the Mississippi River from MO. Folks would just go over and eat and enjoy no mask requirements. We are up to a 6.2 % 7 day positivity rate now.
I l knew a guy from that town, Bar Harbor, ME. His New England accent was so thick, I could barely understand the English coming out of his mouth. Others would just come up to him to just listen when he started speaking.
Instead of acting like petulant babies and whining about whether rules will work or not these people embraced the temporary “new normal” and came up with what looks like a pretty decent way to get to do something we all thought wasn’t going to be possible any time soon. If people spent even half the effort they spend coming up with reasons to discredit rules and safety precautions we could have a lot of innovative stuff like this.

If they really wanted to do fireworks they should set something like this up somewhere that it can stay up. Maybe around 7 Seas Lagoon somewhere. They would need to work out the logistics of people trying to stop and watch without being in the boxes. They could offer it as an up charge too, bit would be nice if it was part of admission.Time to Show a Little Civility

I honestly expected Disney to introduce measures like these in the Parks. I know live shows are still on hiatus, but even for fireworks or parades socially distanced “boxes” like these would help organize people who don’t seem to want to be organized. Also, the “box service” approach to concessions sales seems like an easy way to keep those Mickey Bars selling.
That’s tragic. And the numbers may go down further when the NBA wraps up and kids go back to school driving demand down even more. So much for opening up WDW for the sake of the workers. Looks like many aren’t getting anything out of it. Really sad.Some numbers from one of the unions -
"About 10,000 out of the 18,000 Disney hotel housekeepers and food/beverage workers in Unite Here Local 737 haven’t returned to work yet, said Jeremy Haicken, a leader of the union.
“It’s an enormous number. All of them are at the mercy of this horrible unemployment system. They’re now living at most $275 a week while the Congress and the president squabble. It’s unreal what people are going through,” Haicken said. “At the moment, there isn’t a light at the end of the tunnel.”"
Some of Disney World and SeaWorld’s biggest fans are employees. But thousands remain on furlough.

They don't have the space to leave the boxes out and it would take an incredible amount of manpower and inconvenience to guests to do that multiple times a day.Time to Show a Little Civility

8,000 of 18,000 are getting something as they are back to work. Hopefully all can stay.
