Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[GoofGoof]

8,000 of 18,000 are getting something as they are back to work. Hopefully all can stay.

Sure, it’s better than 18,000 people living on $275 a week, but thats a real tough situation for the other 10,000. I assume since they are still furloughed they are at least getting benefits as opposed to getting laid off and getting nothing.

That’s a lot of infrastructure to drag in and out for fireworks.

Good point. I have no idea how they’d do that.

Its Disney, they would raise up out of the pavement.

I'm sure they could use some of those left over cabanas.....

Numbers are out -

They did not include the "change in deaths since previous report" again - there were 228 new reported deaths.

 

[DCBaker]

Also for anyone curious, it seems with this update they are now breaking down the PCR (nasal swab)/Antigen positive testing numbers (they are cumulative)

Seems better? Will be interesting to see if it improvement continues as schools start to reopen.

I like your optimism but schools reopening will unfortunately keep the numbers plateaued at best, up higher at worst

Right, I meant it in that I'd be surprised if numbers continue to do better now with schools opening.

I think at all depends on how long they stay open. Look at GA now. After all the bluster and political grandstanding they are moving to remote learning anyway in places hit hard. It’s possible that if an outbreak is noted the districts will just pivot to remote learning.

8.08% is the lowest positivity rate for the state since June i believe.

The school situation is definitely going to be interesting.

Weird. It’s almost like the virus is doing normal virus things regardless of non pharmaceutical interventions. It also helps that Florida didn’t impose lockdowns onto their populace therefore keeping the death rate down.

I dare you to take such a cavalier attitude with someone who lost a healthy family member to the virus.

Well this is a new one. At least for me to read.

I lost a friend to it. I also lost a friend to lockdowns. Reel yourself in.

Sadly, I don’t think he’d have a problem doing that.

Also, what leadership?

You need to reel yourself in.

I laugh cause first lockdowns do work. If you look at what has been done where I live we have managed to keep our numbers low for weeks now since reopening. We've been under 100 new cases daily here and today only 1 death.

Second if Florida had done a lock down like N.Y. did maybe those 10000 CM'S might be back to work now as numbers would be lower and maybe more people would be willing to go. The old adage of the cure can't be worse then the disease is pure nonsense.

A bit ironic, that in the Dubai Airport video they have one of their own custom's officials, 16 second mark, shown wearing a mask UNDER his nose while they tout the safety the sniffing dogs add to the airport.

If you want to make an example around how Florida chose wrong, there are better examples than comparing to NY. Really, it may be one of the worst comparisons for multiple reasons.
