Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[Sirwalterraleigh]

The answer was for people to follow the requirements laid out. Too many people failed to take that path...so here we are. My kids are finally supposed to be going back to school in a week, that’s not looking too good if things continue.

What county?

What county?

Montgomery County PA

Montgomery County PA

Ahhh...I’m scheduled to canvas there/bucks this weekend

(FYI I don’t canvas...or donate to campaigns...

Blew both those rules out of the water this year )

Well cases were double where they are today when WDW re-opened.

Yes, but its starting to go up and giving the worldwide trend you can expect that numer to increase soon, but we will see its up to the state.

Universal is reopening Portofino Bay Hotel on December 1st, and reservations are open for that day and beyond now.

I’d be shocked if we went all in on non-essential closures and “lockdowns” again. But, I fully expect a walking back of capacity limits and select sectors to close in my county next week. We should have two weeks ago, but the fools were crying too loudly. I feel safer on a plane than in a gas station at this point.
There is such a lack of messaging. I’m exhausted.

It’s a bad trend and it’s bad nationwide too. Even if WDW stays open it’s still hurting their demand with a surge in cases. Really bad timing heading into the holiday season.

I don’t think they’ll close because they clearly believe in their protocols (and they haven’t been proven wrong, yet), and FL’s political climate won’t force it.

I’m honestly shocked they can continue blinding their capacity numbers, though.

Even in El Paso and Chicago where they called on pullbacks it’s still only indoor dining, not all dining. I think El Paso is closing non-essential retail too. Overall, we know a lot more than March about places with high risk of spread and it’s easier to cut with a scalpel vs a chainsaw today.

They’ve never been under any obligation to disclose actual numbers on anything...don’t expect that to start now.

Saw that, $204 FL rate is very good for Porto

If everything continues to trend down the spiral...I may just head to universal. The “give in” strategy may be working

It’s not giving in. You’re just realizing the relative risk isn’t much different
Just don’t go down there hoping to contribute to herd immunity and it’s all good.

That seems right...lockdowns aren’t there - yet. But I’ll tell you for sure that Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey are incredibly nervous right now. The public health people are fighting apathy that created a powderkeg.

I know, I am in NJ and have employees that come from PA and Delaware.

For anyone who thinks the temperature scans at WDW aren’t worth having here’s a story proving otherwise. The nurse didn’t find an infected Covid patient with a fever, but still...
