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

Are things improving in Texas? We're slowly but steadily improving here in AZ.

Speaking of which, my GF's aunt (76) has freed up an ICU bed as of last Tuesday and is scheduled for release from the Phoenix Mayo Clinic today. Her bout with Covid required 3 days on a ventilator with up to 40% O2 at its high setting before weaning off.

When was the first HHN supposed to be? I don't think they would send that message based on the current situation for something that doesn't occur until many weeks from now.

I think it is a message that their crowd levels have not been very good since WDW reopened and they don't think they can sell enough tickets to HHN to make it profitable.

The haunted houses would have to have capacity limits since they are enclosed indoor spaces. Based on the way the fog hangs around, the air is not exactly changed out frequently.

Have you ever been to HHN? The social distancing precaution would be nearly impossible to implement in their houses. And, trying to incorporate a face mask into the Scare Actors' costumes would just take too much away from their overall look. OF course, attendance is also a huge concern.

I think 500 cases in a county with a population of 1.3 million would be considered doing well.

And 698 cases in Orange (today) is reflective of a 15.9% positive rate, which would not be considered doing well.

Awesome.

The fact that 20% less reported deaths is a bad thing? that is astounding. Less poeple dying is not a good thing in your eyes?

First off, numbers typically go down on Friday. I would bet you they are up from last Friday.

Second, I'm talking about your continued insistence that the deaths that are being reported are from weeks ago is a good thing. Its not a good thing!!

Unfortunately, they don't (can't) report what day the sample was taken. The daily trends are very hard to draw any conclusions from because they are reports of test results. In the drive through/walk up testing, it can be several days before results are reported. Even then, some labs dump positive results one day and negative results another day. You have to look at seven day average to draw any conclusion.

Except it is not. Orange County postivity rate for today is 10.6%.

Again never said that, just noting the difference between deaths reported and data of death. That is a much more meaningful data point either way then when deaths are reported.

Reported deaths or actual, Either way proposing a bet that more people will die is kind of a strange thing.

For those worried about Disney having to close during the winter flu season/ 2nd wave good news. Looks like with Covid measure, flu is virtually wiped out during Chile's flu season. also could be another reason too.

Covid-19 Measures Have All but Wiped Out the Flu in the Southern Hemisphere

From Chile to South Africa to New Zealand, Southern Hemisphere nations report far lower numbers of flu cases, which they attribute to coronavirus precautions. The decline could be good news for the U.S. and Europe.

Where do you come up with that %?

Florida's DOH daily county report, been linked here many times. https://floridahealthcovid19.gov/

Also things are looking good in the Tampa/Hillsborough County , which is somewhat of a hotspot, worse than Orange county, but not as bad as South FLorida. Also home to a theme park that has been open for around a month and half. And by reports , that theme park is not quite as strict as Disney, with mask and physical distancing.

What good would that do. You think anything said on here is going to make a difference.

Maybe not what was said on here but several posters have said how their minds changed from the start to the present. Things change and evolve, way of the world.

They aren't improving. Positive percentage has been the same for a few weeks, cases aren't going down and deaths keep rising. It doesn't matter if they are spread out over a few days, its still the same amount. Measures need to be put in place to get numbers down. Mandatory masks and hefty fines for people who don't comply should be in place.

Itty bitty NH has had 2x more deaths than Orange County Florida. Same exact population.

What if they can’t afford the fines? Jail?

They could have afforded the mask
