I screenshotted the before and after change of that particular model. It's a pretty dramatic and favorable shift, with a much earlier peak and 40% fewer hospital beds needed.
Exactly - There is no reason to continue the "woulda, shoulda, coulda" argument over and over. It doesn't get anywhere, and people have made up their minds - so all those who continue are just talking to themselves. History will give us the answers - maybe. There are still debates going on about other pandemics.
Those who continue are just irritating others - including me.
This thread has been kept open to give people a place to share new information, do a bit of chit chat about how we're dealing with this. But discussions about whether or not our sacrifices - some more than others - are worth it will not be allowed.

No I dont think so. There was similar talk about Tower of Terror following 9-11.

I hope not. It’s a fun, not really scary vibe. If they had a ride/attraction based on a pandemic or virus outbreak that may be considered a little too soon.

Let's not forget about the alligator incident a few years ago, I believe there were a few adjustments there too, park wise.

But a few weeks after, everything was back to normal...
Wonder if the other insurers will follow?
"U.S. insurer Allstate Corp said on Monday that it would return more than $600 million in auto insurance premiums to customers as many Americans stay home and drive less due to “shelter-in-place” orders to curb the coronavirus outbreak.
Most customers will receive a “payback” of 15% of their monthly premium in April and May, the company said."

Allstate to return $600 million in auto premiums as coronavirus cuts driving
Allstate Corp <ALL.N>, one of the largest U.S. auto insurers, said on Monday it would return more than $600 million in premiums to customers as many Americans drive less due to stay-at-home orders aimed at curbing the coronavirus outbreak.

Yeah, I'd suspect that given that this is a pandemic, there will be permanent changes on how Disney operates, along with some short term temporary changes that will look and feel very different than what we are used to.

SeaWorld is taking this tougher than a lot of other parks. When Universal or MK are shut that's it...but when you have live animals like SeaWorld and AK you have lots of expenses feeding and cleaning habitats.Seaworld CEO resigns -

Wasn’t it delayed in 1998?
Yes I seem to remember it was delayed.
Yes, it was closed for a while after this : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998_Kissimmee_tornado_outbreak

I just read your article, “Latest COVID-19 models move the peak impacts in Florida to mid-April as Disney continues to look towards reopening”. I am really concerned about these types of posts especially from a group as respected as WDWMagic. I encourage people to remember that these are all “models” and they are frequently changing. It is also important to remember that what comes up and peaks needs to come down. I am concerned with these types of postings that people are not getting the true nature of this pandemic or the road back to some type of resumption of normalcy. This “model” is based off of current behavior. If people start behaving differently, the model will change yet again. As much as I am hoping that we can resume our trips to Disney as soon as possible, the Disney company as well as us all have a responsibility of addressing our entire population at this time...both in the US and globally.

Morning y'all. I just heard that Miami is requiring people to wear mask when going outside.

I'd think the only reason it would be closed would be until they figure out a way to prevent the mass of people cramming into the area before boarding the ride vehicles.
