I’d say it’s the other way around as far as mask usage is concerned!

Do you think that Disney world will reclose its gates due to the rising number of COVID cases in Florida and around the country?

What we are seeing in Miami is unnecessary focus on things that aren't the problem. In a few weeks you'll be touting the success there but the truth is that the real reason cases will drop is because there are so many infected currently there will be a "herd resistance" in a few weeks.
There is no evidence at all from anywhere that any business operating per guidelines leads to significant spread. WDW will be going above and beyond guidelines so there is no reason to delay opening.

Agreed but Orange County needs the tax revenue, while Miami is a tourist hot spot too, the theme parks bring in the lion share of tax revenue to the county and state as a whole. Everything comes down to $.

With a VERY substantial sample size of 61K participants at that.

Herd... resistance... is... nonsense. The Lancet today reported a study of Spain showing that herd immunity is “unachievable.”
We need to stop pretending.
The Lancet also seems to have cross referenced research in China, the US and Switzerland too.

I am rooting hard for Disney. It would be wonderful for them to have the same success that Universal appears to have had. Disney is outpacing any safety protocol I've seen. I'm discouraged by the relentless effort to shut them down before they even start as crickets chirp over at Universal.
It couldn't be made any safer for CM's with the addition of face shields. That is hospital level protection. Guests are going by choice and I have faith that they will follow the rules.

This is a Disney site, but if you look at twitter and reddit, the calls for universal closing are there.

I don't doubt it but the collective screams about Disney are undeniably louder and wider reaching. It's a bigger company, sure, but they've also become a Florida scapegoat in spite of superior safety plans.

I will take that as a request for clarity. CM's have been offered face shields which are advanced PPE. There is nothing in my observations even approaching that level of safety for employees anywhere outside of hospitals. Gee I wish people would argue in good faith and defend their positions. How are the CM's less safe with the addition of face shields?
News to me thank you. I’ll ask around.

It's a prediction not a fact.
I didn't say "herd immunity" I said resistance. After a certain point the rate of spread will slow.
Unless there is no immunity after recovery in which case no vaccine will work and some percentage of the world population will eventually die from it no matter what anyone does.
We'll see in a few weeks.

When you roll through Alabama on I65, give me a wave as you pass exit 282. I’ll see you in WDW on the 13th.

On what are you basing your claims of Universal’s success? We have no official knowledge of covid cases among their TMs. Over on InsideUniversal, several folks who seem to know say the TMs don’t feel safe at all. Anecdotal, of course, but that’s all we have to go on.
And Universal and SeaWorld should be closed.

Unless I am completely mistaken, herd immunity and herd resistance are the same things.

Immunity after an infection and vaccine efficacy have no connection to each other. People who contract pertussis and diptheria may not have lasting immunity to the natural disease, but we have very effective vaccines against both.
