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

I think the state of the world points to the severity of the virus.

A lot of people choose to ignore the fact that this virus is not exclusive to us. The ENTIRE WORLD shut down because of it. The ENTIRE WORLD. Ill never get over it.

Who is ignoring or saying that? Haven't seen that take from anyone.

not necessarily on this board

People really need to stop trying to sweep the stats in Florida under a rug - they are not good, no matter how you paint them.

In response to this keep in mind 25% of Covid deaths never had a Covid test. Just assumed. Truth is we will never know the actual amount of people who have/had it or died from it.

I did see they are resuming the Friendship boats on the 29th, that will be much nicer way to get around, probably will not be stopping at the Swan and Dolphin though with the MLS there.

Diagnoses not having a test is nothing new!

Jrb1979 seems to find my posts really funny. Maybe I should become a comedian.

He’s only laughing, because we still don’t have the reaction emoji.

I am laughing and enjoying the comedians in this thread. Its not worth my time to comment anymore. I just laugh and shake my head now. Its becoming a disaster in many states and no one wants to take a proactive approach. I'm sorry but thoughts and prayers don't do anything. With that I'm out.

I hear you.

Yes that is the backlog of deaths that are being added to the daily death data, but there is no proof they are truly covid deaths like you claim. CDC is making the determination. Might be all, might be half, might be a few. Won't know that until the year is over at best.

In everyday life, it's fine to say "might be this, might be that, don't know". But science doesn't really work that way. We know that the number of deaths is a substantial undercount, and we have very good knowledge of by how much. As with everything in science, there is an uncertainty associated with that number, but that doesn't mean the number is unreliable, unknown or unknowable.

To be clear, states are taking a proactive approach but different from the one you want. I have found it interesting that you find the facts actually funny in a pandemic, but that is just an opinion.

uh that is exactly what I am saying, we know there are excess deaths and the exact amount and that is how science works.

What should be done is what California is doing.

Another reason to shut some things down again.

Florida isn't doing nearly enough.

are they doing anything???

 

[legwand77]

and that is a 100% valid opinion

Okay, I misread your post. Just wanted to be really clear that things that are uncertain in everyday life often aren't in science.

Mods have warned in other threads that doing the laughing emoji repeatedly on the same poster could get ya a temp ban. Just a heads up.
