Does anyone know why the John Hopkins positivity rates are higher than what we get here...they are usually close to double what ever is reported here...when I check my states (Wisconsin)they match up

I continue to be astounded when people continue to think that a global pandemic being talked about and countries being affected around the world is somehow a hoax/and or minor item blown out of proportion by the news media to cause a political party in the US to gain power.

That would be quite an amazing feat, if something like that were able to be pulled off WORLDWIDE just in order to make a change in the US.

Yeah...no.

If I'm looking at the info right on John Hopkins site, it just has the tests that were performed in the past day at 27,199. Florida's tests are over the past 2 weeks. Florida has over 77K tested. John Hopkins might break out the data that the state received from labs by the day. Florida has a higher new case number than John Hopkins has.

Yes, it is mindblowing that people think this is somehow election-related. As another example, Covid restrictions are the lead article on The Brussels Times today and Belgium does not have a fenderal election until 2024, I believe.

I assume it's a form of denial/coping mechanism.

We have quite a few teachers that feel that way. And they are conducting themselves accordingly.

It totally is a coping mechanism.

Pandemic denial: Why some people can't accept Covid-19's realities | CNN

Some people still refuse to accept the reality that the coronavirus is dangerous. Psychologists know some of the reasons why.

It is just weird that Wisconsin always evens out...I guess it is just the way the state reports cases
There is an area you can check daily positive test result if you click the testing heading

In my opinion, If a particular party wins on Nov. 3, you will not hear another word about COVID after the third.

I guess I should correct myself, If a particular party wins, you will not hear another word about COVID after about December 3rd as it will take about a month to figure out who won

Endless Summer Resort - well that name is deceiving.

 

[GoofGoof]

That’s one more than the original announcement right? Over 50% of their available rooms. Not a great sign that a holiday bump is expected.

The non existent convention business adds to the losses of the company. Many resorts closed mean lots of staff and small business in the area unemployed.

I don't think the other 2 (Portofino and Dockside Inn and Suites) had re-opened yet?

Terrible for unemployment. They are really going to have to rely on locals to keep the parks open, but with the deal where buying a one day ticket gets you unlimited access through Christmas Eve is there even money to be made? I guess on food and merchandise there’s still some profit. Restaurants at City Walk must be hurting too. Without on site hotel guests some of those restaurants may really struggle to remain open. A lot of those places are huge, designed to accommodate the normal big crowds.

Those hotels might have come in handy instead of drinking and driving , just check into into a nearby hotel to sleep it off.

I guess the few that have been saying ,wait until you see the crowds in Orlando this fall, will be pushing those predictions into 2021. Most of us saw this happening I think but still hits you when you read it.

I’m sure some people drive in and park there just to eat, but the hotels provide a base of people who are probably eating most meals there. Thats thousands of moth balled rooms out of circulation.

If the hotels close off operations and turn off or set the central AC to a higher temp to save $$, mildew dust and mold will surely set in.

Oh good, you posted something from CNN.

It still has good information inside from a discussion with Psychologists, but feel free to dismiss cause CNN = bad always .
