Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[GoofGoof]

I spent my $1,200 rebate visiting South of the Border. And three Stuckeys.

What did you do with the other $1,100

Not sure if this has made the rounds here yet. While I don't know if I would travel this could possible encourage more people to fly. Sooner than later.

Cuomo replaces quarantine travel list with new testing rules for travelers entering NY

Gov. Andrew Cuomo gave an update on the coronavirus in New York.

Seems like a pretty fair change. It still presents a large detriment to traveling to/from NY but I think that’s the point.

I posed the question a while back of what would happen when NY and others surpassed their own out of state quarantine requirements. Here’s my answer.
I actually kind of like this idea. If you go to a raging state, but not a raging area of that state (or are visiting family from the same), you could theoretically be tested the day before or morning of departure, and again within the 3-4 days. You’d be back to work within a well timed weekend-ish, and if you work from home anyway ...

Cuomo is sitting on the second LOWEST infection rates by state in the country now...

So unless results no longer matter...you may just be off on this one.

That assumes your 2nd test comes back pretty quickly. It still seems like more of a 1 week commitment to me. Most people will get the first test on return home (unless you want to take time away from having fun to get tested) and then the 2nd test on day 5 so if the results come back within 48 hours it’s about a week. Now if they want to speed things up airlines could do the testing for you before boarding flights. That would cover the first test and shave a day off.

I bought Macallan18 and Guinness. Then watched Disney videos on You Tube. I've a feeling I got to see more of the entertainment on the videos than what is actually left in the parks.

If you add sweat that seems pretty close to my ideal trip to wdw

He’a trying to come up with an alternative to bans or a free for all (which will NEVER work)...

...but I’m too late...somebody already started chewing on their shoes without thinking first

 

[marni1971]

Disneyland Paris too?

Oui, oui

Non.

Was thinking Waffle House but the good ole Jangles works also.

which is exactly what TIA is doing for all passengers

Now...I'm starting to agree with you...but you went hard hoaxer here.

You’re specifically nuts in that sentence ...closing Disneyland - by far a local destination in CALIFORNIA...has no political upside. Stop and think about this for a second.

And this is a problem. Frankly Saturdays at an amusement park are just not that important in the current climate

Once again, U.S. records new daily high, nearly 100,000, for Covid-19 cases

In other coronavirus news: House dubs Trump pandemic response an "American fiasco," Donald Jr. calls doctors "morons."

You are right, there is no political advantage in the solid blue state of CA to keep DLR unnecessarily closed. Besides, we know CA will implement a COVID tax after the pandemic is over to make up for all the tax money lost due to the shutdown of DLR and all of the businesses surrounding DLR.

I will maintain my opinion about cruises.

It makes sense. I know it may not be a popular opinion, especially for the travel industry, but I really don’t think people should be traveling for non-essential reasons when the case numbers are surging (like they are now) and if you do you should either quarantine 14 days on return or do this combo quarantine and testing. I don’t think the country needs to go into a National stay at home order but as cases surge certain activity should be reduced. This isn’t a knock on the safety protocols or WDW or even the airlines, it’s just common sense that traveling out of state by default will result in more unnecessary exposure to people outside of your home.

Disneyland Paris too?

Is there an election happening there too ?

All? I know it is available to all if they pay for it but I don't know what percentage are taking advantage of it.

This brings us back to the start of the circle again.

1. Travel is a terrible idea now
2. The economic depression is also terrible.

So how do you solve that? Back to testing and isolation again. It allows most resumption while not sacrificing overall communal Health.

I’ll be damned if those experienced, trained, know it all doctors weren’t right from the start

Agreed. Just like everything else, bring the total case numbers down, increase testing and tracing and then you can ramp up things like travel. The government imposed restrictions were always intended to be a dial not a switch. Too many people looked at things as linear and just assumed once things opened there was no going back. If people do what they are supposed to cases drop and the dial is ratcheted up, fail to do what you are supposed to and it’s dialed back.

Fair. I was under the impression that rapid testing in and around the major NYC airports was more readily available. So, test 1 Thursday when you leave whatever place you're in, and test 2 Sunday. Assuming both tests were negative with results by Tuesday, you could be back to whatever you were doing before. But, I was wrong. That's ok. Thank you.

Our current surge definitely makes even thinking about travel difficult right now. For as much as his harsh NY attitude turns me off, Cuomo does deserve credit for at least trying to find solutions and stating his reasoning behind those decisions. This one is no different. That is the type of leadership needed (minus his occasional "I don't care about your (insert whatever activity here)" statements he made during some of those early reopening press conferences.)
