Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

I wont be mourning the loss of handshakes. I actually have a running list of things I will miss vs not miss. Handshakes, and buffets are on my “wont miss” list.

Handshakes won’t go away.. but maybe people will keep sanitizer on them, if they didn’t already.

Final Round Broadcasts at the Masters

The archive has been opened on the Masters final round broadcasts from 1968 to 2018.

www.youtube.com

They're in full HD starting with 2005. It's interesting to go back and watch a broadcast from, say, the late 1980s and see how different everything was. Not just the picture quality, but the outfits, the broadcast technology, etc.

Thank you!

Same here. Nod and say hello. Done.

 

[Andrew C]

Nope. I am going to up my greeting when this is over. A great big hug and at least 3 kisses on the cheek.

I am in Bergen County NJ. Google it.

There isn’t any panic anymore. It’s moving into apathy at this point. Lots of people shrugging their shoulders and just hoping for the best. We have been in lockdown for a week already. If the infection rate has slowed I shudder to think what it would have been like without the shutdown.

Our hospitals are already operating at max occupancy, our testing, while more robust is still not even close to enough.

Reading through this thread, and seeing some of the absolutely inane posts is exhausting.

Can I add pot luck dinners? They always freak me out.

Handshakes have definitely gone away for me.

The CDC estimates that 99% of the posts here are absolutely inane. Google it.

Potluck dinners=culinary russian roulette

However, the CDC also estimates that it’s keeping 99% of us from going insane.

Biergarden at Epcot is one if my favorite epcot restaurants, I hope not all buffets go the way of the dodo!

My biggest petty gripe is I wish I had gotten a haircut before the lockdown. I‘m a week away from ordering clippers on Amazon and buzzing myself

I've had my hair long since I got out of the service (1972) no need for clippers. Glad to know I am ahead of the curve--- long haired corona look.

Hugging a stranger is the new unprotected sex

How about sushi and raw oysters. Always taking a risk but tastes good.

Guests will be asked to stay an alpine horn away from one another no matter what happens.

Buffets should have been converted to having somebody serve you a long time ago. Sneeze guards are better than nothing but if I saw somebody sneeze anywhere near the food there is no way I could eat. The bigger problem is trusting people not to touch the food while serving it and not putting the serving utensil handle on the food after using it. On the occasion that I eat at a buffet, I always grab a plate from way down in the pile after using hand sanitizer. I only take food from the very back of a tray that is at least 3/4 full. I keep the plate in my left hand and don't touch anything with my right hand until I have sanitized again.

Handshakes won’t go away.. but maybe people will keep sanitizer on them, if they didn’t already.

Maybe it will become socially acceptable to use hand sanitizer after a handshake so I don't have to do it in secret under a table anymore.

I live on my boat so I will eat sushi that I catch. Oysters remind me of something that a corona positive person would cough up so I’m all set with oysters. I wont miss them.

Speaking of insanity.. here’s the best Corona-Vid I’ve seen so far...

I believe S Korea did lock down for a couple of weeks, but then instituted mass testing and isolation procedures. Our biggest failing was not having enough testing available earlier. Goal now is to get back to a more manageable level so we can then test and isolate.

I live in Korea, the only thing that shutdown was the Korean and US military bases. Everything else remained open. People chose not to go out.

I think I might just stare blankly at an outstretched hand waiting for a shake and make it really awkward!
