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

Have to agree here for the most part--

We just spent a week here in Orlando - went to Disney Springs, City Walk (even took in a couple of movies), Magic Kingdom, Disney Studios, Epcot, Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and watched the Seaworld fireworks from our hotel balcony. Even with the restrictions, we had the best time we've had in a long time (read 10-20 years) at Magic Kingdom, Universal Studios, and Disney Studios. The only thing "packed" at Islands of Adventure was the Harry Potter area, but the Universal side was mostly empty. Most of our wait times were under 15 minutes, and usually was a walk on (5 min or less) - including Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway, Peter Pan, Space Mountain, Escape from Gringotts, etc. The only time we had to really wait was for Rise of the Resistance. Really enjoyed the cavalcades of characters and hope they keep those. Did miss the Magic Kingdom Fireworks to close the day. The masks weren't an issue except at Islands of Adventure (which was sweltering that day). The only park I wasn't as happy with was Epcot.

What happened at Epcot?

Corona has both been and will be around in many variations...it’s not necessarily novel.

Nope.

you were wrong, actually.

Wow that is just wrong, I am hoping you just misread the post

I did in May and it was negative. I've been exposed so many times since then I don't even care anymore. I've either had it and didn't know it or I'm just not going to get it.

Some of my co-workers have gotten it, but they had nothing more than a cold. When this first started we were a little bit afraid of it, but no one is afraid anymore. We do what we can do to protect ourselves and then we do what we do which is our job.

I took a beat down in March when this started. Basically for saying our healthcare system could handle it. Posters made fun of me for saying we could produce ventilators and they could be moved around, regular rooms could be converted to ICU rooms, we could convert rooms to negative pressure rooms, and we had surge plans in place. Everyone thought we would be like Italy, but worse.

As it turns out I was right tenfold. I'm proud of what we have been to able to do. Everyone is working really hard. I try not to let the negativity in the media get me down. I'm really looking forward to my 12 days in Orlando to decompress and come back recharged.

While your posts are very much appreciated by some including myself, the fact you are being attacked by others on here, doing the job you are doing is not worth it. I would skip this thread. Thank for you for what you do and Enjoy your trip!

So 130,000+ people haven’t died??

A lot less then the millions predicted......,and you are welcome.

As I said — it almost never happens, at the level we are seeing now. Yes, there are isolated incidents, as I said, of a bad week here, a full ER there... but no, the sustained pressure we are seeing now in whole regions... there is no parallel in modern history.

As I said I have plenty more links but pointless to post them, it is not rare

Healthcare workers are physically and mentally tough. I could give a rats behind what they think. At work I’ve been called every four letter name out there, hit, kicked scratched, assaulted, dealt with with every kind of ungrateful, entitled person on the planet.
Yes I will enjoy my trip and thank you very much.

Ok I’ll bite how was I wrong ?

I wonder how these people could possibly know this or should I say think they know this.

No doubt, healthcare workers / first responders are some of the most mentally tough people I come in contact with, nature of the job.

that doesn't make the current death toll okay

Your attempts to downplay the virus.

Your attempts to downplay the virus.

Can you be a little more specific?

I think it goes a little like this

I’ll limit it to my personal experience. My clients include the biggest hospital systems in NYC (and the country), and they have never ever experienced anything like this in their entire history.
they have had to cancel elective procedures for a few days before, never for months.
Intensivists have had to come in for a few extra shifts, but never had to previously work 30 straight days without a day off.
And never have thousands of nurses had to be hired from out if state.

Sure that is NY Area, one of the hardest hit places in the world by outside Italy, Spain etc.. What is going on now in the current hotspots in Florida, Arizona and Texas is nothing at all like what happened there in April.

Also you now limit your claim of surges never regularly happening to your limited personal experience, that I can understand and could be true.

 

[Miss Bella]

I’m glad you made your political views known. but where are the mods that said no politics.

He has a very narrow focus. Arizona brings in thousands of nurses every Winter so does Florida, California and many other states. I know Nyc was caught off guard, but I also know their nurse to patient ratio stinks on a good day. I would never use Nyc as an example.of anything that relates to the rest of the country.
