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

[Miss Bella]

I do as it would help with stopping people from traveling to Florida and possibly bringing it back to where they live. There is a reason they aren't opening where I live.

That’s not going to lessen the spread in Florida. Isn’t that what you were originally concerned about. You’ve said many times you only vacation at themes parks.

I know the difference, but one isn’t riskier than the other. There are still many non essential businesses open in Houston.

How do you not understand that more interaction between people means more spread?

How do you not understand that Costco is not safer than a theme park?

Yeah one is outdoors and one is indoors. My chances of getting Covid from a guest are probably much higher at Costco or Walmart.

Again, it’s about reduced interactions between people.

If you confine yourself to outdoors only at WDW that's fine, you have a point. Nobody does, though. You ride rides inside, queues are inside, dining is inside and unmasked.

You can actually examine mobility data from Apple... which tracks movement on people's iphones. The Apple data shows a clear decrease in mobility in Houston starting late June/early July. Not nearly as low as the mobility in April, when there was an actual shut down order. But a significant reduction from early June. Basically, a peak in activity in early June.

Curious about your opinion of the predictive value of the Kinsa data. They are grim about TX, concerned about FL, and more positive about AZ in terms of Rt and time to peak.

Is it or is about safe interactions.

I’ll take my chances at WDW over Walmart any day ending in Y.

Don’t forget about the shopping. Seems it’s the favorite activity of a lot of people.

People shop at home don’t they? I just hit up Costco, Kohl’s and target this morning. All were very busy.

I shop at home. Amazon way to much. I’m not a mall or Walmart or kohl’s kind of guy. But that’s not what I meant. The poster was naming places in Disney that could be crowded while trying to keep distance. I mentioned shopping which he left out. That’s all.

One is a necessity. One is an extreme luxury good.

You may not be a shopper, but every store is crowded and people shop. If they can’t shop at Disney Springs they’ll just shop somewhere else. I’m not sure why shopping at Disney is so lethal in everyone’s mind...again back to the selective outrage.

 

[Miss Bella]

A lot of people buy non-essential items at Walmart and Costco. A lot of luxury items are sold at these stores.

I give up.

Again, I don’t know where your comments are coming from. I was responding to another poster on what he forgot in his list. I never said anything about lethal or am I showing selective outrage. You don’t have to respond to every post here, especially ones that weren’t even directed your way. You can but don’t have to.

 

[Miss Bella]

I give up.

Me too. You look at things from a non essential/ essential point of view. I can’t differentiate the two in terms of risk. We will never agree. Until someone can prove to me without a shadow of a doubt that theme parks are a major factor in increasing Covid I’m not going to change my mind.

I’ve been watching the Kinsa map for a couple months. I’m iffy on how much it’s actually capturing, but it does appear to have some predictive value.
