What scares me is the longer Land is closed, the quicker World keeps upping capacity. They already upped to 35% when IMO should not be happening. The 2 Bobs are so out of touch with what is going on.I wish this was one time you were wrongThey definitely shouldn‘t open now with cases surging but it’s crazy to think it will be closed for a whole year potentially. Remember in March people saying they would never keep the parks closed until Easter and Spring Break.

The move from 25% to 35% isn’t too big a deal. The problem they have now is as long as they keep distancing in place on the rides and in the queues they can’t expand much beyond that 35%. The lines are already too long and would get way worse. They will also run out of capacity at restaurants if they keep distancing of tables and capacity limits. There is probably a work around on food as they could flex some unused or seasonal space into full open but there’s no way to increase ride capacity and keep distancing in place. I think we’ve seen WDW stretched about as far as they can go before turning off guests.

It is a crazy timeline but by the time the OC reaches yellow tier, it'll be about February, and it needs to stay there for a certain amount of time for theme parks to reopen. A year closed is a weird thought, but its unbelievably almost March again.I wish this was one time you were wrong

I'm afraid what the numbers will show starting about a week after Thanksgiving
Wait, we did? I can refer you to a thousand exhibits in this thread alone demonstrating otherwise.

Proof that we need a national standard of reporting: Montana was 112% positivity today. Not sure how, but ...

Yeah, as comfortable as I am in appropriate public settings, and as happy as I’ve been with WDW until now, those recent vlogs of cavalcades and what not is a little out of my comfort range. They’re (TWDC) is definitely playing with fire by having WDW pull the weight of closed parks.

Lag in reported total tests to positive tests. Indiana been mass dumping tests that were done months ago on different days.

Right. But how do you have more positives than total tests? It’ll sort out throughout the week, but today is broken.
Iowa also gets its first mask mandate -
"For the first time since the beginning of the pandemic, Iowa is instituting a statewide mask mandate.
That order comes from Gov. Kim Reynolds in a proclamation Monday night.
"I hereby order that effective at 12:01 a.m. on Nov. 17 and until Dec. 10, all people two or older must wear a mask or other face covering when inside an indoor space that is open to the public and within six feet of individuals who are not members of their household for 15 minutes or longer"
There are exceptions to the order listed in the proclamation. They include:
- Anyone with a medical condition or disability that prevents wearing a mask or face covering
- Any person working alone or in a space where six feet of physical distance can be maintained
- Anyone consuming for or drink at a restaurant or bar table
- Any athlete participating in a sporting or recreational event
- Any person giving a religious, political, educational, artistic, cultural, musical or theatrical presentation or performance for an audience
- Any person participating in a service at a spiritual or religious gathering"

Taiwan is the model for the entire world. Modern...25,000,000 people...7 covid deaths.
Wonder if the aggressive testing, tracing and isolation had sumpin to do with it?

I admit, I'm kind of a Deutschophile and was very fortunate to have the opportunity to live there for several years. I love this public health campaign, which roughly translates as "Become a hero also, stay at home- Together against Corona":

Typical dry German humor, but also typical in that their government is genuinely trying get their citizens to do the right thing.
We have some of the world's most effective marketing and entertainment minds available in this country. One only wishes we had leadership that saw the need to mobilize that talent in a similar public health information campaign, rather than just tweeting lies and self-aggrandizing distortions.

One advert depicts an elderly man looking back on the winter of 2020, while saying "we did nothing".
