Naw. This is ridiculous. We've played along with this game for nearly 6 months now. We've given up 6 months of our lives for a virus that has an extremely low mortality rate. It's time for people to take responsibility for themselves and to give people their freedom back. I've worn a mask this whole time. I won't do it anymore. I'm done. I'm certain that I already had this virus anyways. Why should I have to be treated like a leper?

I'd agree if people want to sign a medical wavier agreeing to be low priority patients in any triage situation. If another Italy/NYC occurs people who agreed to the risk, should be last patients accepted/first patients dropped. It seems wrong that the young people who want to go out are treated better than the elderly person who catches it the one time they go grocery shopping.

Theme parks are already placing legal waviers to try and stop COVID lawsuits, if people want to accept risks they should account for all the outcomes.

Flu season is coming and people are going to conflate the two and things are only going to get worse before they get better. With these ridiculous guidelines Disneyland would be lucky to open by next Summer.

I agree that when you sit down and read through the new Four-Tier Color-Coded guidelines, there's no way any theme park could reopen anytime soon.

To get theme parks reopen, you'll need to create new rules specifically for them that don't apply to others in the more restrictive Color Coded rules.

Yes and then let’s make sure to keep the new color codes for theme parks equally confusing by making Red safer than other colors.

Yeah its dragging on, but its doing so in a way that's a fair compromise to multiple interests. If we had stayed completely shut down, essential services only, and not rushed to reopen Downtown Disney or Knott's, we would have been through this already and Disneyland would probably be opening this month.

But its to society's benefit to try to reopen businesses slowly and risk more infections than keep everything closed. Yes theme parks have to wait longer, but isn't that preferable to all restaurants and services still being closed?

If you want to go hunt vermin in the wilderness without a mask, and experience some of that freedom, go for it. If you want to participate in a civil society, you have to give up some of your freedoms. That's just the way it is.

Both the CDC and Gavin Newsom are really confusing and I feel like are getting political. Why can't we just have medical doctors all agree on "This is what we need to do to get better". We are getting so many different opinions that are all over the place and changing. And there shouldn't be a separate timetable for theme parks and the local mom and shop businesses. This should all be science. Whatever applies to my local restaurant should apply to the Blue Bayou in Disneyland. If this all about the election coming up, shame on all of them and I wouldn't be able to trust any of them again.

Getting political? Seriously, this was political from day one. Really, the science is pretty simple, clean things, wash your hands, don't go out when sick and this would all be behind us. This has absolutely been all about the election from the start.

To add to this post, IT is doing some behind the scenes work on park hours. Previously it said “closed” on the first page. Not sure when this changed—and this is not yet updated in the app—but this is what it says hours are today:

Just want to announce this has been removed from the front page of the website.

Well, gang, it's after 5 o'clock now. It's a summer Friday. Sacramento offices were closed up tight an hour ago, and it's almost time for me to ponder the ingredients for a weekend kickoff cocktail myself. 🍸

But still no word on Disneyland or California's theme park industry?

Here is Governor Newsom's full statement earlier today, when a reporter specifically asked why Disneyland and other theme parks weren't mentioned in his announcement.

"Specific to amusement park operators, we are working with them," the governor said. "It is a very dynamic conversation, and so we didn't include it in the update today. That is a separate conversation. It's an easier to one to have, frankly, with some of the larger ones... One of my afternoon meetings is in this space, and we're actively looking to see where we land on that."

I wonder if this afternoon's dynamic conversation in that space is over yet?
