The willful ignorance is quite something, isnt it?

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

Now that deaths are rising, is it bad news?
Ok, last one for the day, needed the comedic relief.

It's funny to see the quick summaries and smugness that was displayed less than a month ago when they thought they had the numbers.
"We should have seen a rise in deaths, we didn't, so stop being alarmists"
Then we do see the rise in deaths, and it shifts to "Look at how the deaths are being reported" instead of saying, "Ok, I was obviously wrong"
Of course , but the point is a good bit of those deaths already happened weeks and months ago

Sigh. I'm going to take you at your word, and not that you're being intentionally obtuse- it is a very bad sign that these deaths happened weeks and months ago, considering the recent explosion in cases.
Please tell me you understand this reality.
Incorrect cdc guidance changed mid June
THIS IS HOW DEATHS HAVE BEEN REPORTED FROM THE BEGINNING!!!!!!!!!!!!
not the way in which you framed it
Here’s some stats from a week ago. Maybe they’re all wrong too.
www.cnn.com
These type of figures are what has some inside of the company ruffled.
Florida has more Covid-19 than most countries in the world. These stats show how serious the problem is | CNN
What should be a booming tourist destination this time of year is now riddled with coronavirus, dwarfing other states and even entire countries in some metrics.

I understand your side is that it's not as bad as everyone keeps saying so there is no need to shutdown again. I agree we shouldn't shutdown again but more should be done to get the numbers even lower. What makes me laugh and shake my head at is how there is always a reason things can't be done. Fining businesses and people can be done. Its funny how most cities here passed laws quickly to do just that. There is measures that can be put in place so people can go to work as @DisneyCane wants.

You gotta stop with the side splitters.
ETA: So your post after mid June praising low death counts was misleading and misguided? Is that what you are saying?

I was considering upgrading my tickets to annual passes, but they are not currently selling them. Oh well one less decision to make.We got them last August and then went again in January, so we did get 2 - 5 day trips, but we had scheduled for May and July which didn't happen. We booked August and November before booking stopped, but August is not happening. I'll keep my fingers crossed now for November, but not holding out much hope for things getting better virus wise.

Not at all. When total deaths in the US late June were only 350 for a day, we get on here and say "Look, lowest death total in a while, things are looking up"
In July, when that number is over 1,000 for a day we say "Ok, but some of those could be in that June number I used to tout how great things were, and so that makes my June statement look bad but I'm not gonna admit that, we just have to mentally subtract out numbers from the high July day total so it doesn't look bad now"
It's a complicated game. But its a funny complicated game.

I think WDW is doing everything they can to make it a safe experience. The problem seems to be in south Florida. I know nothing about South Florida I can’t even begin to have an opinion on it know what the problem is or how to fix it.

You have been one of the most outspoken advocates for closing Disney despite that they are mandating stricter safety measures than anywhere I can think of. I've always been pro-masks but also don't see any evidence for shutting down any business doing this safely. I will bet a hundred bucks that a majority of these cases in Florida are from people who are taking bigger risks.

The thing is the things that are working here can be done everywhere. Make masks mandatory, pass laws to fine people and businesses for not complying with social distancing. The economy can still run with those rules in place.

When have we ever debated that or said it wouldn’t work. I can tell Ive never been part of that discussion.
