News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

[OrlandoRising]

That's a job?

Yes, having reporters whose beats focus on misinformation and disinformation have become quite necessary over the past few years. Writing about theme parks used to provide a respite from that rabbit hole, but here you all are.

Oh, very interesting!

Who determines what qualifies as “misinformation”?

What happens when something once deemed “misinformation” turns out to be true? Are there consequences for you? Or for whoever makes that call? Or nah?

misinformation is anything that goes against the narrative someone is trying to support

Don’t get sucked into it. It’s not worth the energy.

Lies, falsehoods, misrepresentations, incomplete truths, things taken out of context, exaggerations, distortions, using outdated information or data...

Don’t do it!

Only after distillation. At which point it also kills you.

So that's a yes

 

[mkt]

So that's a yes

Too much effort.

I know this is joking, but saying beer kills covid = misinformation because of the missing context.

Beer after it's been distilled can kill covid, provided the concentration is above 80%. But drinking it could kill you as well.

@DisneyCane I have a question to make, if COVID-19 transmissions will be low enough, is there is safe to riding on train to NYC without mask if federal mask mandate will be lifted soon by April 18th?

I'm the wrong person to ask. I would have done anything without a mask in the summer of 2020 and not thought twice about it. If they lift the mandate, I will definitely not wear one on any form of transportation but that's just me.

No need to explain. Yes I was joking from the start

I've noticed the "misinformation" monitors only search in one direction.

Does anyone have an idea what will happen come the 18th April re the mandates expiring, any chatter in the news? If it was here in the UK the decision would have already been leaked via the press.

No chatter except that the administration is prepared to extend the mandate.

They do seem to like to leave it until the last minute don't they.

Last 2 expirations they sure do. Before they extended it well in advance.
