Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

This is exactly why WDW closed, immediately, its intern program housing.

Not exactly

That is exactly why WDW ended their college programs and sent those people home. But it’s not why WDW closed.

What people are not outright saying is that college dorms replicate the living conditions experienced in prisons -- people share rooms, common cooking, socializing areas etc. If you have outbreaks in prisons, you will get outbreaks in halls of residence based on the same transmission threads. This is not because prisoners and college students are mixing, but because at some point someone gets infected and the living conditions lead to a wildfire spread. This is exactly why WDW closed, immediately, its intern program housing.

I can confirm. College is a prison you pay thousands of dollars to attend.

And as of now, it was definitely useless for me, even though I graduated. #thankscovid

If I knew prison was anything like college I would have robbed a bank a long time ago.

THEY WEREN'T PUTTING THE MASKS ON TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM YOU. THEY WERE PUTTING THE MASKS ON TO POTENTIALLY PROTECT YOU FROM THEM.

You don't have a shred of proof to draw such a wild conclusion...........unless you, actually,
were one of the smokers.

Accepted. Your grammar not up to scratch, (ie. what commas mean) but relieved you understood the main point I was making -- or did you?

That's crazy talk. America is fat for a reason. Ha.

That's why our health care industry is a multi billion dollar business.

Has anyone figured out, if masks are required, how do people eat Mickey bars.. or get a Starbucks or popcorn? Think they may have certain area were you need to go to eat or drink? Going to be tough to have a turkey leg in your hand and walk around eating with a mask. Was this discussed here and I’ve forgotten over the last month? If so apologies..

Why are you yelling. They were homeless and smoking. I’m not really sure what’s their reasoning was. I’m not sure they were that concerned about my health as they blew smoke in my face. My post was in reference to a post on second hand smoke. Not a statement about wearing a mask. I just found some irony in it.

Based on studies the homeless even not being able to stay home or have exceedingly healthy habits are being effected at a far better rate than those who aren’t. Some interesting studies out of Boston. It’s really an odd trend.

I’m starting to regret telling that story. If I see them again since I tend to see the same homeless people when running. I’ll ask them and end this silly debate.

I would expect sales of junk food in the parks to take a loss. Wearing a mask, 100 degree heat, standing in line, and to go through trying to eat is not going to be worth it.

That is a poor excuse of not following policy. Some do not have any idea what management has to go through to make the operation run in many companies. Be part of the solution don't be part of the problem.

I dont know who's job is worse; the overworked, under paid cast members or the managers who must keep the overworked, under paid cast members working at a productive level.

Corporate 101, do more with less, maximize productivity with minimal labor costs.

Maybe the virus doesn’t ....not sure the word I’m looking for is....transmit maybe......as well outdoors. I’ve heard a few experts say that.

Last I checked this wasn’t a grammar forum. I’ll take factually correct over grammatically correct any day.

Your main point is easily understood and accurate. Your last sentence was just misinformed and misleading.

I’m also expecting that everyone in the world will know you had a vacation at Disney with the face tan lines.

(in my boomer voice) life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it...
Oh wait, your not taking advice... my bad.

Corona Virus likes fat people too. Obesity is its favorite comorbidity. Not a good combo.

 

[wdisney9000]

The very unusual circumstance of wide a- and pre-symptomatic spread was not then known. The harm would have been in stoking the already occurring run on masks and respirators

That makes sense. Thanks for the response.

At least prisons don't charge you $5000 every 3 months.
