Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[lilypgirl]

Gotta think they're seriously considering pushing this thing now. If this thread is any evidence, Disney needs to do the right thing and save us from ourselves.

Really?? Sorry but I don’t need Disney of all companies to save me from myself! Some of you are over the top the past few days with the dramatics!

It's easier to limit how many people you let into a theater then it is outside with people trying to get a better view of the parade. Good luck keeping space between anyone on mainstreet.

As time goes on there seems to be more and more evidence that outdoor activities are far less risky than indoor. If everyone on Main Street is wearing a mask that makes it even less risky. Indoor theaters, ride queues and even restaurants may turn out to be bigger problems for theme parks than anything outside. We still need more data but it’s looking more and more that way.

9,000 cases today. That's it, game over, I'm out. I AM CANCELLING ALL MY ANNUAL PASSES.

Congrats to all the covidiots, they have won.

Jerry Demings, Orange County’s mayor, was asked this morning if businesses need to go back to phase 1 and he said, “I don’t know.” I’m sure that got Disney’s attention.

This is not drama. This is reality no matter how much people want to stick their heads in a suitcase and jump on a plane to Disney.

I want this to be taken as least political as possible but

The governors of TX and FL closing the bars is a BIG DEAL.

You know they really don't want to do this. So the fact that Govs Abbot and DeSantis are doing it, intensifies the fear that it's a whole lot worse than we even think it is. And the grocery stores were just getting back to normal around here.

It’s not about you either!

EXACTLY MY THOUGHTS. it must be REALLY bad.

I'm curious, have there been reports on how the masks work with rollercoasters?

just an assumption, but I am pretty sure that at roller coaster speeds masks are not very effective. Any exhaled air that leaks out even if properly worn will be blasted into the riders behind you.

Sir, this is a Wendy's drive-thru.

It’s not about you either!

But it is about me.

Indoor theaters, ride queues and even restaurants may turn out to be bigger problems for theme parks than anything outside. We still need more data but it’s looking more and more that way.

At this point, it seems to be more about perception then what is actually safest. People will feel "safer" spread out inside a theater then standing close to a bunch of others outside. I have seen people post pictures of someone 20 feet away from everyone else, outside without a mask on and they freak out about how "unsafe" they feel.

In defense of the Covididiots I don’t think there’s any winner here...well maybe Amazon if they are allowed to deliver alcohol to people’s homes in FL and TX

and for the record, I am not a covididiot...occasionally I act like a regular old idiot, but mostly when I’ve had a few too many drinks so that won’t be happening in FL or TX anytime soon.

here in CA they lifted the restrictions on alcohol delivery.

I don’t want to say that I’m “not concerned,” but I also don’t feel a need to panic yet. Yes, the numbers seem high, but it’s only .5% of the FL population have contracted the virus since March and .01% of the population has died from it. Again, I’m not saying we shouldnt be cautious, but at the same time, I don’t feel any need to freak out either.

Does wearing masks equal panic? Does limiting gatherings equal panic?

I agree. I’m just thinking that the one thing that came out of the recent protests that made a lot of people really scratch their heads is the lack of major spikes in cases in a lot of the cities where protests occurred. Public sentiment and even government recommendations may start to loosen restrictions on outdoor gatherings and tighten things indoors (like bar openings). Our views are ever evolving on what’s OK and what should be restricted more.
