Yes whatever Disney does here it’s because they decided it makes them the most money long term.disney doesn't care how people feel, they already got their money.(as with most corporations)
To be fair I'm not sure we inherently are their best customers. They make more from other higher spenders as whole.
Hospitalizations matter too. That’s why we need more focused mitigation. It sounds like from reports here hospitals in FL are filling up. My county has 18 total hospitalized Covid cases right now. It’s clearly not a National problem.
It was seeded widely due to people returning from India who had gone to red list status - this was mainly in higher density, poorer neighbourhoods and it literally ripped through those areas and then spread - especially through schools and then secondary on to parents etc - so it was the seeding that led to the spread initially
Exactly. We are all bringing our masks and are preparing to use them. If Universal follows new guidance, better for us.
For some reason our cases have suddenly dropped 30% week on week - reported cases today 23,500 last week over 40,000 - same happened with India
I think you knew what I meant.
We are heavily invested in the beginning for 5-10 years.. then they know it’s guaranteed some form of cash flow from us or family for the next 40 years.
If you did that it would only require 4/5 visits if it’s a silver pass. That’s low for an AP, at least someone local.
Yeah, I think it’s unfair to tie the spread of this variant to dropping mitigations. There are other factors that are at play.
Hopefully we aren’t far behind. If we peak in a few weeks we have a shot of being done with this wave by around the start of Fall.
We are about a year and a half into this and just under 400 children have died of COVID-19. In 2019, about 200 kids died of the flu. Kids are not at a significantly higher risk of COVID than other common illnesses. Forcing scare tactics on them ignores other aspects of health ie mental health.
Interesting. And That’s with indoor masks and some businesses still closed?
That doesn't rule out the possibility that it would have spread even farther and faster without them. Using that number you mentioned about peak... It doesn't rule out peaking at 90/100K instead of 69 without mitigation.
Yes, and Scotland started the decline on July 4th, they have been ahead of the rest of the UK. Death counts are miniscule compared to prior UK spikes. The vaccine helps.
Good luck with that
I do know what you mean, but the reality is that DVC are not their big spenders really. They are constant source of income, but like AP holders, that's not who Disney wants to hook into for money. Most DVC members are only there for 15 years on average too.I think you knew what I meant.
Masks became voluntary but recommended on the 19th of this month (in england this is), all buisnesses now open from then as well in england - more restrictions in other parts of the uk still. Our peak was higher to be fair and has come down this week
I don’t disagree and if the US wave never reaches the UK levels it won’t be because we had less restrictions. I was disagreeing with the statement that this delta wave of Covid in the US was caused by relaxing mitigations. This wave was coming either way. The only way to avoid it would have been a lot more vaccinations or total lock downs (which we never had and never will).
Unless there is some new data that I'm not aware of, there has been nothing to suggest that a kid under 12 is at any higher risk of severe illness from Delta than they were from the prior variants. The risk for prior variants to that population was extremely low and factually lower than the risk to them from the flu in a normal year. If that information changes then I'll change my stance. I've said from the beginning that if children were heavily affected by COVID many of my opinions would be different.
