There were people who got infected at WDW. It would be statistically impossible given the level of community spread for that not to be the case. Pixie dust doesn‘t magically protect you and they have a bunch of indoor dining locations open which we know are not ideal. Has there been a mass outbreak tied back to WDW? No, but that’s different than saying there are no cases.

On the subject of doing more, it’s a lot of tone from the top. Many states that resisted masks for months are now turning the corner and mandating them statewide. I’m not sure if that’s just because the big guy lost his election and they feel less pressure to be ”team players” or if they really have come around on the idea that masks help. Having indoor dining and bars open without restrictions is a big mistake IMHO. You have to be willing to adjust up and down based on circumstances. It’s foolish to say lock everything down (one extreme) or to say no restrictions (the other extreme). A good leader adjusts to the situation and anticipates a need. Cases in FL are clearly rising. Why wait until they hit 15,000+ a day to finally do something? The tone from the top also matters. Is the Governor publicly recommending people refrain from private parties and gatherings? Are there guidelines laid out for the upcoming holidays? I don’t really know the answers to those questions but it’s stuff like that which also matters. It’s not all about Lockdowns.
“There were people who got infected at WDW”. Thanks, that’s what we needed, some solid data...

There were some people who got infected at the grocery store, there were some people infected at the liquor store, or the gas station, or the pharmacy, or the dentist, or the doctor, or the vet, and so on...

I would like someone show real data showing that WDW is a major spreading location...

I never said there weren’t people who got infected at any of those places and I never said WDW is a major source of spreading. You said if/when you find out there were cases at WDW to let you know. I was just letting you know...there were cases ;)

And all those other things (besides maybe the liquor store) are places people need to visit right now.

The currently increasing and never got low enough positivity percent in areas all around the country mean we have no idea where it’s spreading. It’s just “out there” rampaging all through the community. Any interaction could be an infectious one.

Ramp up fast testing and rapid contact tracing and we'll have an idea of where it’s spreading.

It’s the same place we've been since this started. Some limited success in areas, but no real progress for the whole.

This is true. It’s also why one of the only things I’ve seen repeatedly listed through contact tracing as spreading Covid in my area was generic travel. They don’t say where the people got sick specifically (hotel, restaurant, bar, theme park,etc...) but if you are out of town for a period of time and come back sick they know you got it while away so it gets lumped in as contracted while “traveling out of state”.

Good luck, Goof! That has been one of my biggest fears, but we're plowing along in hybrid for now.
We made it 2 whole weeks in physical school. They did virtual to start the year and then brought K-2 back for a few weeks and finally last Monday expanded to K-12. Then the county called for a 2 week virtual only period starting next week through the week after Thanksgiving. At that point we are 2.5 weeks away from Christmas break so the thought is if cases don’t improve they may just say see ya after New Years :(

We’re about to have the plug pulled on our in person until January...if I had to guess.

0 positives on 11/9...we’re up to 9 now
