Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[GoofGoof]

Different folks act differently when they feel safe.

Some folks who feel safe go to mass gatherings with no masks, no distancing, no sanitation. These folks are at a high risk of getting COVID, they most likely will get COVID, they most likely will not die from COVID.

Some folks feel safe because if masking, distancing, and sanitation. I suspect the folks who feel safe when masking, distancing, and sanitizing have less of a chance of getting COVID.

I think this is a fair assessment although part of the problem with the people doing stuff with no masks, distancing or sanitation is a lot of them still don’t get Covid which then just makes people more likely to avoid taking precautions. I can’t tell you how many people I’ve heard say things like “we did XYZ and nobody got sick so I think it’s fine to do”. It’s sorta like Russian roulette where you may play for a while and get the empty chamber but eventually you lose.

This political thread contains covid discussion from armchair epidemiologists and CEOs.

We don't know when we will return to regularly scheduled programming.

In effort to be completely transparent a friend posted this and I don’t know of the source but if you look closely there are a couple people wearing masks so I don’t doubt this picture and I would have to research where it came from however… Downtown Orlando last night for Halloween.

Looks true

Its sad to see so many places go back to lockdowns. Here they are trying their best to keep most businesses open. What they need to figure out is how to slow the spread from family gatherings and schools. I don't know what that answer is.

Very few people have the brass except a few with quite bit of brass

Looks true

Exhibit A for why the government has to mandate things here as opposed to relying on people to do the right thing.

So the plan should be people can do what they want and take whatever risks they want as long as they follow protocols like masks and social distancing when required. Well we see how well that works out.

I think disney should be stepping in to encourage public efforts to get rid of the virus. This all impacts them too. They want their parks open, get out there and be active. Have mask campaigns going, encourage social distancing outside of disney property, run commercials promoting safety.

Yes.. can’t believe the First Lady would put up with this stuff.. great example for all young women.. oh, your talking about Hillary. Sorry.

I snort laughed. Thank you for this.

Numbers are out - there were 28 new reported deaths.

I am sure there are many folks that got COVID, recovered from COVID and never knew it. Heck, there are lot of folks only know they have\had COVID because they got tested. I know folks, young, perfectly healthy who get tested monthly because their partner is in healthcare and get tested that often as a precaution.

And yes, there are those a symptomatic folks that will infect others until they themselves are no longer contagious and could infect someone that is not one of the 99.8 percent of the population that could get Covid and recover just fine.

We hope those folks that are in the 00.2 percent of the population that will get harmed by COVID, actually know this about themselves and take extra precautions and stay home and distance from everyone even when in the home.

The government can’t enforce a mask mandate; neither can the states.

Looks like great, big, beautiful freedom to me.

Looks like the health care industry will continue to be a multi billion dollar industry.

It was before covid, tbh

Regarding restrictions, they should limit it to “at risk” populations...not the whole damn world.

Despite what the President has said, my system like many others is very much in the red (Excess costs from PPE, staff being sick and decreased revenue from less surgery.) Most doctors around the country have gotten a pay cut this year due to this.

The college kids at SUNY-Oneonta celebrated their freedom partying up a storm when students returned to campus in August. 700 tested positive for covid out of a student body of 6.5K. The college president then gave her resignation.

Given the way this virus behaves, no one has been able to suggest a realistic way to limit restrictions to "at risk" populations, even if we could agree on who should be included in that term. If you limit the definition to the elderly, most older people live independently in their own homes (often with family members who go to work, school, etc.), where most of the spread occurs. If the virus is allowed to run rampant through "the whole damn world," how do you effectively isolate the elderly and vulnerable? I'm genuinely asking, because it seems like this solution is often suggested without explaining how it would look in practice.
