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

We sure have done it a lot throughout the years. Where you've been?

She said it wasn’t good, not that it hasn’t been used before. She is correct.

True, but I doubt it was posted on a disney fan board when it happened.

We use it every flu season. Don't you think it's good were prepared every winter?

It’s getting late and I’m tired so it’s probably me but I don’t understand your response.

I was just informing her of something she probably didn't know.

because no one posted on a disney board when hospitals go into surge mode before covid, happens much more than most people think

Well considering the country is currently below the average US excess deaths (not counting the last two weeks) and have been for the past month, does that make the situation any better in your eyes.

Yes, that would reassure me if it proves to hold up. What the US did was working. I hope no one argues that the reaction (whether an over-reaction) did not make a major difference.

Then they unwound too quickly and I'm no longer sure that is the case.

We can hang our hat on this metric if you would like, but we need to acknowledge it has a lag time of up to 8 weeks per the CDC.

Not hanging my hat on it , it was the metric you mentioned, just showing you we are at the threshold you were looking for. Take a look a Florida, lag time really not that big of an issue there. Also highlights how bad it was in NY/NJ vs rest of the country

Florida and Arizona have a huge a population increase in the Winter. I can't speak for Florida, but I know our hospitals are designed for Winter.

This is a virus, not something we can disagree with on ideological grounds.

Sadly, there are over a million posts here that will tell you otherwise.

I knew that. Its still not a good thing.

theft is a normal crime in this world, theft is not good.

I know ideologically we disagree on everything, but I agree with you on that.

using surge capacity is not a good thing.

 

[Parker in NYC]

I know ideologically we disagree on everything, but I agree with you on that.

Starting with MCO. Not my idea of a lovely airport.

 

[havoc315]

So if that is the case is a government mandate necessary?

Depends on how much you want to bring down cases and deaths.
Let’s put it this way: 500,000 deaths, no voluntary mitigation.
250,000 deaths —voluntary mitigation only.
30,000 deaths — mandated mitigation.

Which option would you pick?

Since this happens every year how do you suggest we improve flu season? I'm sure tired of working my off every winter. I get accused of not valuing human life, but what I've seen over my career is that not many Americans value their health.

Something else we agree on. I do get the warm fuzzy's when I get off the plane, but yeah the airport sucks.

That’s for damned sure! If more Americans cared about their health, we wouldn’t be dealing with the extraordinary influx of proud idiots touting their idiocy during this worldwide pandemic. See, it seems we agree yet again.
