I guess you don't hang out on the libertarian forums. There's a whole world outside of WDW Magic.

So if FL's numbers are increasing so rapidly, I wonder if there is any chance WDW pulls back their capacity cap? They've milked the Holiday Season for all they can and the next chance of coming close to current capacity won't be until Spring Break/Easter. PR could go either way imo, but seems like it could be a good move, especially if current bookings/park reservations are closer to 30% anyway.

Florida not pulling back means WDW is very unlikely to pull back either.

Why would they? The lines are longer but they are still spread out and distanced. They just need to keep capacity low enough so people don't end up forced to be shoulder to shoulder on walkways.
If the theme parks were significantly adding to spread, the orange county health officials would be screaming about it. Under current protocols, even with the increased capacity, WDW is very low risk (note that I didn't say "no risk").

It’s more likely they just pause their expansion of capacity. I don’t see them reducing capacity especially on days that certain parks are already filling up. It would be a nightmare to try to communicate to guests why their park reservation has to be cancelled. If the plan was to expand capacity once things like plexiglass on ride vehicles are fully installed it may be that they slow or stop that expansion until cases start to come down. Either way I’m sure nobody at Disney is thrilled to see the case numbers where they are. It’s best for their business if the overall case numbers came way down instead of spiking. Hopefully this wave ends soon.

It really doesn't matter because the vaccines will be mandated and everyone will have to get one if they want to live a normal life.Don't worry Goof, the other 20% have probably already developed immunity the natural way

My accountant's wife had COVID and got the vaccine. I have no idea why she got it when she should definitely have immunity for a while longer. She had it in November. I think she should have waited until there was more availability.Don't worry Goof, the other 20% have probably already developed immunity the natural way

How would Orange County Health officials know if WDW were significantly adding to the spread when contact tracing is not being done?
Orange County health officials in âcrisis modeâ to keep up with contact tracing
As the number of COVID cases rise, investigators in Orange County can no longer keep up with the work in front of them.

How do you know WDW is ”very low risk?”

Exactly... people are dieing in record numbers and yet some people are acting like it's normal. It's NOT and unless people stop it's never going to be.

They do not care tbh. If Orange County cared, FunSpot would have been closed down but only came into compliance after SIX strike team visits.How would Orange County Health officials know if WDW were significantly adding to the spread when contact tracing is not being done?

There’s a fake news headline for the ages.

Outsourcing would also keep CMs who aren't comfortable jabbing people with a needle from being put in an awkward position. Personally the idea of sticking someone is

As per the WHO:
"There is currently no evidence that people who have recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies are protected from a second infection. The development of immunity to a pathogen through natural infection is a multi-step process."
There have also been reports of people getting re-infected within 3 months of initially having COVID-19, even if the sample size is fairly small at this moment in time.
There is no immunity, possibly less prone to getting it. There are people in China that has gotten it multiple times.

I didn't realize the CDC has a page to pull up the latest info for restrictions by zip code. How long has this been out? Kinda hard to keep track sometime but consolidates the info into one place, including links for each states regional info.

There are a few isolated, confirmed cases of people reaquiring the infection, but the vast majority of people who have recovered seem to be immune, so far at least.

I don't think anyone? A couple weeks ago it looked like hospitalizations might be plateauing, but alas they continue to climb. The midwest has actually decreased int he past month, but that has been single-handedly offset by California's increase. There is a lot of fear that is due to the "new strain" and will spread our way and make things worse (again) before they get better.
People should be starting to get immunity in the coming few weeks from vaccines. Even though initall rollout in December is small it is targeted a the right people so hopefully that makes a difference.
