Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[ImperfectPixie]

Well, I don't consider forums as "social media." I just don't wanna see all my friends on Facebook updating nonstop about things we are already aware of. I think one to two sources is enough. I don't want it to be rubbed in my face that I need to do this or do that.

I'm doing pretty much the same thing. I run a Disney FB group, so I'm very active in there, I check the largest of the town FB groups sporadically, I'm on here, and I check some news sites and watch the official live-feeds. Twitter is too much of a toilet for me to even bother.

Never say never.

Well, since the casinos and sports betting is nonexistent right now, I wonder if there’s a way to bet on the odds of such a bill actually going into law. I’d wager a hefty bet against it.

I am not reading what you write until you stop with answering 10 people in one post.

Member trying to be efficient?

And this attitude is exactly why no sports no concerts and no WDW will continue for a long long time here.

I can't blame him for doing that. I myself have forced myself out of the house to buy stuff. I take a bath before I leave, take precautionary measures while outside, when I reach home before I enter I sanitize, when I get inside the house I immediately go take a bath.

You have never heard of illegal sports betting or other betting on other subject matters? If you don't pay up your losses in time, you may get a visit from two burly men..

The key is to shrink the number of people you're in contact with...which that pastor and his parishioners and the people visiting Clearwater Beach definitely aren't doing.

I wish people were this cautious or concerned about Second Hand Smoke or Drunk Driving. Someone can't stop into a low capacity low interaction coffee shop or check on a friend, but 29 people die a day in the United States from Drunk Driving Accidents alone and it is just acceptable. We can do something about that as much as we can do about this. You can argue both are selfish, that is fine. But they are both able to have a lower risk of by abiding by things.

I'll bet you a Skyline 5-way that the bill passes if it makes it to the Senate.

Semantics, neither Disney parks or Six Flags are profitable in china and people commonly poop in the bushes at both.

Nope. Been to a couple of China theme parks. Nobody poops or pees or spits. The only thing they do differently than Americans is they invade your space quite often.

Yeah it’s pretty odd isn’t it? Banning alcohol and tobacco, and enforcing it the way people are suggesting in this post for the quarantine would cut down yearly deaths in this country by 500,000+.

People typically only like abiding by things without pain when it is convninent(myself incluing. I have quit and returned to soda and over eating many times in my life)

To anyone please, go to fun spot, Ripley's Believe it or Not or any movie theater still open please and risk passing a potentially uncomfortable few weeks for someone in my family and slim chance of death over someone binging alchol, smoking near others' children and driving or driving under another drug influence that hurts your family.

Then you'd have to ban driving... bathtubs... overeating... sitting in front of computers for hours a day...

We have a big problem with appropriate punishments and applying punishments equally when it comes to drunk driving. I personally don't think some of the punishments are severe enough (first offense, etc.), but then you've got one judge sentencing a kid to 20 years in prison for killing one person...then turning around and allowing an "affluenza" defense and only giving Ethan Couch 10 years probation for causing an accident that killed 4 and injured 12.

The company states that 60 seconds of UV-C (100-280 nm) LED light exposure can sterilize 90% of coronavirus viruses and 97% of influenza-type viruses.

Problem is.. UV-C is the super short wave length stuff that is not what you see out and around in normal commercial or consumer applications. That's the kind of stuff that requires protective gear, limited exposure, etc.

Yep. But there are home-use UV-C systems out there... rather, there were until this buying binge cranked up.

Did this pass?! Is it for everyone? This would be so helpful

It didn’t pass yet. It most likely won’t get pass the Senate in its current form but something is coming. NY Governor was already talking about 90 day forbearance for mortgages (meaning you make no payment for 3 months then they add those months to the back end of the loan). Some form of relief is coming. The checks for individuals is still up for debate but they are deciding how much not if.

Let's clarify that to say the people visiting Clearwater Beach. The beach is one small part of our city and lots of us in Clearwater are hunkered down right now for the greater good.

Point taken. Apologies...didn't mean to lump everyone together like that.

ETA: Fixed.
