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

Good information. Have you seen anything about the state of the area around Disney? I'm scheduled to travel next sunday and still haven't made the final decision.
Case positivity in Orange County has been on a downward trend , it is below 10% at 9.5% today , hospitalization capacity has improved as well. You can see it on the Florida DOH site that I linked a few pages back

eta link scroll down to Orange County

First... I wasn't addressing whether mask mandates are a good idea or even if they are legally enforceable. I was just addressing the constitutional question.

Second... try walking down the street naked. I guarantee you that you will attract the attention of law enforcement. It is most definitely more than just a social standard. There are definitely laws mandating that you cover certain portions of your body.

Third... many mandates are actually being passed into law now. The city council of the city my mom lives in, for example, recently passed an ordinance requiring a mask and including a $150 per violation penalty.

Naked and not wearing pants are different. You could walk down the street in your underwear. Naked violates laws.

What city is that? Maybe civil fines but not criminal, in Florida for sure. In no state that I know of can any entity other than the state legislature pass criminal laws. Prosecutors all work for the state. When you go to court the charge (even for speeding tickets) is "State of Florida vs. Defendant."

Think for yourselfer
without context sure it could appear that way
If you’re committed to lockdowns, you have to be committed to Florida growing “exponentially”. Otherwise, this whole house of cards comes crashing down.

FwIW. Lockdown happy Australia....

Is this English?
Cause you and @legwand77 keep saying things a getting better, which they aren't, so no measures need to be in place. I have constantly asked you and your buddy why the measures N.Y. and where I live can't be put in place. All I get is no answer just that things are better. 🙄.

Things aren't good, people shouldn't be traveling to Florida at the moment. Whatever happened to Florida promoting staycations?

NO ONE IS SAYING TO LOCKDOWN AGAIN. There is a middle ground. No wonder so many states have issues. They have Covidiots running the asylum. There is ways to open the economy slowly so you can keep cases low so you can handle spikes. I look at how where I live has done and other northern states have done their reopening and for the most part its working.

Let's be accurate. Australia has 145 deaths so far. That's 6 deaths per million people. They have done 151,000 tests per million people, and a total infection rate of 547 cases per million people. That graph certainly makes things look bad.. by making 500 look high!

Now, compared to the USA -- 149,000 death -- 1000x more than Australia. 160,000 tests per million people. so the USA finally recently caught up and surpassed Australia in testing, just barely. A total infection rate of 13,000 per million people.

So Australia -- 547 cases per million people. USA -- 13,000 cases per million. So USA has about 25x more infections on a per capita basis.

IHME -- https://covid19.healthdata.org/australia -- Forecasts Australia will have a total of 418 deaths by November 1st.
IHME forecasts the USA with 220,000 deaths by November 1st.

So "lockdown Australia" appears to be a true role model and a success story.

Actually... many of the foremost experts in the US are now behind a full lockdown for a few weeks. Basically, a "do over" because we so failed to do the right lockdown in the first place.

But yes, nobody is saying we should go on a large scale lockdown forever.
It's - lockdown until infection is contained (a level where it's unlikely there would be infection entering the school, a level where you can contact trace the remaining cases that pop up); then masks and socially distanced "new normal"... with the ability to adjust specific regions based on testing. (with results of testing available in under 24 hours).

10K-12K every single day is far from improving. Just because numbers don't climb exponentially doesn't mean they are in any way good.

Precisely. You get to a point where infection and death is so high, it's not good for it to "stay level."
It's staying level because enough people in Florida have started to voluntarily take enough measures, to stop the climb. The more aggressive measures you take, the faster the numbers actually drop.
