Pandemic. Adjective: a disease prevalent over a country or the world.
Based on the high caseload it is still prevalent... which was my whole point.

All the states that border Canada have done incredibly well too. You do realize your population is about 10% of ours.

I would be willing to say the jury is still out on our response. We certainly made a lot of mistakes along the way, but there’s still time to right the ship and stay ahead of the virus. Nobody is out of the woods yet, but a number of countries have done better based on almost any metric you could use to judge it.

In my state the Latino community is being disproportionately infected by a rate of 2:1 despite only making up 29% of the population. I wonder if this is why we're seeing this increase in the border states. I really feel like we need to concentrate some resources into these communities. If nothing else just education. I'm hoping they don't throw big family parties tomorrow.

Yes... wouldn’t want “they” to do something foolish like have a family party. Too bad they can’t take their family to Disney world where it’s all safe

Not even Sweden agrees with you. The country’s Ministry of Health and Public Affairs referred to it as pandemic in an article published on its website yesterday:
“We would like to explain more about how Sweden is managing and has managed the COVID-19 pandemic so far.”

Sounds like this could be true. Being reported on many sites now. Disney says it for guests safety.
We have never used the service but WDW is looking at all areas to cut costs and that may include staffing.Sounds like this could be true. Being reported on many sites now. Disney says it for guests safety.

It's a great service, although it's gotten expensive since the initial $20 flat fee. My wife and I love it, especially for getting to Magic Kingdom when we had breakfast reservations before the park opened since they drop you off by the busses instead of the Ticket & Transportation Center.
I understand why they don't have it right now (just because Lyft and Uber are still operating doesn't mean it's safe and certainly doesn't mean Disney is obligated to follow suit). I feel bad for the Cast Members who are still out of work, though. Hopefully they'll be given other roles, especially since the college and international programs aren't running now so there are roles that need to be filled.
I would be shocked if the Minnie Van's don't return when it's safe to do so, though. Demand seemed to be high for the service even with the price increases, unlike the backstage express shuttle between parks (which we also loved).

Being reported on many sites just means that lots of people still parrot whatever Clickbait posts without doing their own fact-checking.Sounds like this could be true. Being reported on many sites now. Disney says it for guests safety.

Usually, yes. This one seems to have a bit of substance to it with cast members claiming it.
Edit: Realized you were referring to sites stealing other info and not the rumor. My bad.

That is a big number.
I can't understand that TWDC is still opening with these numbers. And the July 4th weekend is not even done yet.

I could be worse...at least we aren’t rabbits

At this point we have to assume they have passed a point of no return and new case numbers are irrelevant. It’s blinders on and full speed ahead with fingers crossed.

I'm still on the side that they might still pull the plug.
