Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[BlindChow]

Do they break it down by county?

I have yet to see that done anywhere. I want to know where people are being tested within a state, and the results.

For what it's worth, Alabama's site breaks theirs down by county.

They also have drive-thru testing, which I found strangely progressive for a "backwards" state...

He didn't say it. The CDC did. HUGE difference.

Did something change where the CDC was allowed to release these sort of guidelines without the approval of the Vice-President? I doubt Pence would authorize it, if Trump didn't allow it. If you want to be literal about it, then yeah, he didn't SAY it, but I'm not sure that matters, with the way the administration has set the "coordination with the CDC."

Would of been nice if people (Every Government) had taken this pandemic seriously when it was brought to the attention to the world in January instead of laughing it off.

Yes it would HAVE been nice.

Pence said today during his press conference that new guidelines would be coming out. So they were on the same page.

368 people in Italy died in the last 24 hours from this virus. But yeah, you’re right, people are totally overreacting.

I'm not in Italy and yes I am right. I'm sorry they died but that doesn't justify buying every roll of toilet paper on the shelves.

Things are changing VERY quickly...like hour-by-hour quickly. It's also possible Disney had to make the initial announcement quickly and hadn't been able to hash out the details yet.

That's still not acceptable, in my opinion. But I'm glad to hear that the college students are going to be taken care of.

I hope that restaurants that are shut down or have to limit their seating are nimble enough to switch to take-out.

Bars, however, are totally screwed.

Canada and Australia are also Commonwealth realms. All it means is that the queen is their head of state, not that they are in any way governed by the UK. They are independent countries that share the same monarch.

Yeah, I know what it means. I never said otherwise.

I said that if the British Government was looking for a place for a British cruise line to dock, they should have sway over British Virgin Islands which is a territory of The Crown. I posted a video that said that BVI was a British Territory and that the Bahamas was a Commonwealth. In response to that, I was told for no discernible reason the Bahamas is an independent country. Neither I nor the video said it wasn't independent. The video said it was a British Commonwealth country, which it is.

 

[tallica]

What would you have wanted to happen?

Honestly, 6-8 weeks ago encourage people that are at high risk to self sequester themselves. Establish both financial and emotional support for these people. let the rest of society go about its daily lives, with the recommendations about hygiene etc. And no excuses that there to many at high risk. Better just them than the whole population.

Watching the Resort TV livestream from MK now with swarms of people shoulder to shoulder and my anxiety level is rising.

My apologies—I didn't look carefully enough at your initial post (whose meaning is clear) and instead went on the inference of the person who responded to you.

Mortgage rates were already lowered in anticipation of this cut. Shouldn’t change much of anything. If you just refied You got a great rate

3.125

This would have required the attention and cooperation of all branches and parties of government.

6-8 weeks ago, people weren't ready to hear that message and take it seriously. A lot of people still can't. Thus, the ever stricter guidelines because people so far seem incapable of taking the hint.

 

[LittleBuford]

That's what Boris Johnson and the UK tried to do but the public revolted and forced the way we are going now on them.

I'm confused. The British government is only now beginning to tell people to distance and isolate themselves. Indeed, they've been criticised by the public for leaving it so late.

 

[tallica]

Pulling the trigger too early would have been worse.

How so? Honestly, not trying to be contradictory. Better to apply the breaks when you see the cliff approaching than after you have already gone over and are about to smash into the ground.

Since this is not the political forum I will abide by the mods wishes to not get political on here and say that I don't think Trump has a clue with what the CDC is actually doing. Pence...who knows based on the press conference he spoke at on Saturday.

For how long though? We just tell all seniors and high risk people to stay quarantined indefinitely? How would that have helped, and how would that have prevented any of what we are seeing now?

****Quoted the completely wrong post ****


This was meant for @tallica

I know hindsight is 20/20 but that's what I think should have been done.

Went to Disney today. We are both wfh for the foreseeable future and figured we would get one last day out since I think more closures are coming. Lots of somber looking CMs as well as very great CMs as well. Lots of old people in the park, lots of unhealthy looking folks and one gal who clearly seemed immunocompromised wearing a mask and being pushed around in a wheelchair. I'd dare say a cancer patient but I'm not qualified to make the diagnosis. At that point between the insane heat and the feeling of selfishness and inconsiderate nature of being there, we found it best to leave much earlier than anticipated.

It was weird.
