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

[Chef Mickey]

We can trust European numbers, we look pathetic compared to them especially with our added benefits of less population density and getting the pandemic later.

Also, the economy isn’t rebounding like it was expected from the open now side, that’s because the majority of the population in this country must be doctors I guess, because they’re staying home not helping the economy.

Why should I trust their numbers? Even if right, I don’t know their ideology on testing.

If we stopped testing, our numbers would look great. If we test more, probably worse. “Record cases” is also silly if you can’t hold the Comparisons constant. We might actually be doing quite a bit better than before, but we missed a lot of positive tests in March and are catching more now.

Testing is actually pretty useless because it just tells you you’re positive or negative today. You basically need testing every day or quarantine to “know” you’re not spreading it.

Word to the wise. Don’t read those comments. Yikes.

comments are no different than what is posted in this thread. Plus that article tone was a bit too excited like is it was hoping for more on posted record deaths, pretty ridiculous, most likely written by a computer judging how poorly it was written, content aside.

So, even if the numbers are correct, you still cross your arms and say they don’t fit your ideology. This whole pandemic is one great big Buzzfeed Personal Politics Quiz no one asked for.

It means the virus is spreading, which means more people get the virus, which means more people spread it to other people, which means more people go to the hospital, and which means more people die.


2 weeks ago the US had its lowest week for death since the pandemic started in earnest- approximately 3,600.

Want to guess what this week looks like?

Way to take it out of context. I said asymptomatic, which was hypothetical and an example as to why I don’t only care about some positivity rate someone throws out on TV or a clickbait article. I also care about the numerator and denominator.

Not many asymptomatic people are dying, but just a guess.

I said I don’t know, and neither do the pretend analysts thinking they know.

There are many factors.

This is why I won't get tested unless I have symptoms.

Yep this + CM break rooms are the two biggest weak links in their protocols.

I will say that their is plenty of outdoor seating available at pretty much all of the quick service restaurants. In fact, several have added additional outdoor seating. My wife and I have been at Disney for 4 days now and been to all 4 parks and have eaten all our meals outside. Obviously the table service restaurants are a different story but we have decided not to do table service meals this trip so we don’t have to eat indoors.
Also, all of the Disney owner and operated quick service restaurants are strongly encouraging or even requiring mobile order and you can’t enter the restaurant until your mobile order is ready so there is barely anyone inside any of the restaurants.

I’m laughing to keep from crying.

 

[Chef Mickey]

Hundreds of thousands? In a span of 4-5 months?

I cannot emphasize how disheartening I find this attitude.

Do you have the data for the first year the flu hit? This is worse because it’s new and not an indication it will continue even as long as the flu. The flu is in all probability more dangerous over the long term. It’s certainly killed more people and has persisted with a vaccine and treatment. This likely will as well.

 

[legwand77]

Well it has been around for over 6 months , and infected at a minimum of 14 million people worldwide, and by most indicators at least 10x as many. We know how to treat it much better etc.

Not even that many healthy symptomatic people are dying. If your old and have a lot of health problems you still have a 95% chance of surviving.

yup better to get antibody test more useful info.

nice actual facts, also I saw the same at MK, when I was there.

It will killl many more kids that is for sure.

We are back to the flu again? Next is car accidents. Help MOM.

 

[schuelma]

I should probably just leave this thread for good. The callousness on display is really something else.

The flu is actually relevant because it is still around despite a vaccine, kills a lot of people, and could be prevented in many cases with similar measures.

Yes, it’s a little dance marathon. After car accidents, there’ll be heart disease, cancer, and “the electric slide after one too many whiskey sours”. Rinse and repeat.

What callousness? I see this thrown around often but not seeing it at all.

and much more dangerous to younger people.
