Well, it must be hard for Orange County because they've been sitting in the same tier for at least three weeks without qualifying to enter the 3 week probation to move to the next tier.
Given the asymptomatic spread and the two week gestation period, if Orange County got really serious, it would still probably take them two weeks to get to that first probationary status. They would have had to gotten serious two weeks ago...

Per the guidelines yes they may be asked to close again.

I know a lot of people in orange who truly believe that the virus will go away nov. 4. I'm not kidding, some of these people are in my bloodline, its a widespread theory there.

I'd love to see the propaganda movie they could put together on this one!
I know there's a negative political connotation to the word "propaganda" but I mean it in the purest sense here - attempting to persuade viewers to a way of thinking.

This disease has a 99.5% survival rate, which means the vast, vast majority of us have a better chance of still being here in our current form than TWDC or DLR a year from now.Should I be worried about Disneyland's survival? If they can't reopen until - worst case scenario - Summer of 2021, are they toast, or toast-adjacent? And remember folks, I'm just basing my predictions on the past year. You may revisit my earlier posts for reference.

For my 8 year old son and a surprising number of adults, this can sometimes be really hard. :/

I'm not familiar with the CA Constitution, but where is the legislature in this? I'm genuinely curious how it is apparently only the governor who gets to make these decisions.

You mean the POLITBURO don't you Komrad.
While I understand the reasoning behind Disney's refusal to depict its characters wearing masks, doing so in advertising/social media would do so much good. Of course, it would probably backfire and incite boycotts from "certain circles". On second thought, the last thing we need is added harm.

Newsom severely dropped the ball in May/June. CA suffered the consequences. In LA county there was time in Late July where we only had 90 Icu beds open. In LA COUNTY. We have some of the largest medical systems in the country. Everything he is doing now, has to be done. We tried the phased reopening and it failed spectacularly. We are in a pandemic, its all about the baby steps.

Amazing what has become of all the grandiose plans we got all excited about just a few months ago. All incredibly heartbreaking. If Tron and GotG don't open until 2022 even more so. Epcot is a huge disaster; the only shining light right now is Rat. While I'm incredibly glad we had our best Disney trip ever in November - the flipside is our next trip likely won't happen until 2022 at this rate. But worse than all of that are all the poor CMs that were let go, with many more sure to follow soon now that DL might not open until next year, missing the big holiday season. So sad.

On the plus side, if it caused boycotts during the pandemic, the only people not going would be the ones the cast members would be tasked with chasing down about masks so possible win-win, right?

Some posters have asked how overseas guests visit DW. Well I can give you my personal perspective as a family of four and with another family of four.
We stay on site at All Star Sports for a minimum of 21 days, this makes the cost of the flights worthwhile. We go to at least one park per day taking advantage of early magic hours and late opening staying out all day. We allocate two afternoons for the water parks and one evening for DS but apart from that every second is spent in the park. We do our washing after the parks have closed and eat in the QS restaurants in the park or take advantage of the late night pizza service. We see all shows- Fantasmic needs updating in our opinion but it’s still brilliant. Our children are in their 20’s so are able to move around the parks independently and sometimes visit DS later on to take advantage of the night life. Yes it is exhausting but oh such good fun!
We are fortunate that we have long holidays and see the rest of the local attractions whilst staying at a villa before descending on WDW.
Even when the U.K. are finally welcome back in Florida if the current restrictions on times and park swapping combined with the lack of FP+ are still in place it will not be worth the cost and effort involved to return.
That is a very sad sentence to type.

Gavin sucks...said it before, will say it again. Please vote him out of office.
OCR has updated their original article with this -
Orange County Health Care Agency director Clayton Chau said during the Orange County Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 20 that it will be difficult for Orange County to reach the yellow “minimal” tier until there’s a vaccine.
“I think for a large county like us, especially a county with institutions of higher education where folks come in from outside the county and outside the state, it’s going to be very hard to achieve the yellow tier,” Chau said during the meeting. “Personally, I think that we can look forward to a yellow tier by next summer, hopefully.”

California allows theme parks to reopen, but Disney and Universal may not return until next summer
California theme parks closed in mid-March as the COVID-19 pandemic forced business across the U.S. to shutter their operations and society to adjust to the ‘new normal.’
