COVID could be around for years so you're saying every time there's an outbreak among CM's WDW will close. That could be a lot of opening and closing.

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

You know you're not going to get any "likes" for posting positive news.

By next week we're likely going to see Florida with a 1,000 new deaths a week and going higher. It's going to be increasingly difficult for Florida leaders and others to wave things away.

I will agree that yes, you shouldn’t shake hands, eat with neighbors, share tools, etc.

It’s not reasonable to project statistics that have no intrinsic value.
Hello I’m a long time lurker here and have enjoyed these boards for many years. I have never found the need to post much since I am not an “insider”.
Keeping things simple has always worked for me so here is my attempt.
Is the number of people being infected in Florida increasing?
YES. We can argue over specifics but I think everyone would agree it’s getting worse.
Have more people died from coronavirus due to the increase in infections ?
Yes. Let’s argue over when they have died - WHO CARES they are DEAD. It they died today or 4 days ago it is still tragically unacceptable at the level it is occurring.
Is it less dangerous to go to Disney World than your local grocery store?
It doesn’t matter. No one ever has to go to Disney World for any reason. It’s the same as a bar or a strip club or a casino in that respect. You just don’t have to go.
People need food and supplies. The stores they get them at are places they have to go.
Its very simple.
Should Disney be open ?
Nope. Shut it down.
But think of the jobs!!!! The people!!!! This is not fair they will starve and lose everything without a job!!!!
This is why we have a government. It is their job to take care of the non essential workers until this is over with. It is also critical that essential workers get rewarded for the risks they take everyday.
But but but we can’t keep paying all these people who just want to sit at home and not work because they are scared of the sniffles!!!!
Too bad - it was the governments job to contain this to begin with, and it has shown to be possible in other parts of the world.
Are we suppose to let one failure compound with more and more failures until we have death and disease and catastrophic levels?

I knew from the beginning that a certain swath of this country would handle this poorly, but never dreamed they would be quite this obstinate and uncaring. But it's taught me a lot.

100 people dying per day frees up hospital beds.
That number will go up when we start seeing deaths from these 10-15,000 new case days.

Over 12,000 new cases today. Something’s gotta give. Eventually there will be no choice but to shut everything down. (That’s the last thing I want to see - I own two storefronts in FL and barely made it through the first 2 month shutdown.)
In Broward, we just started an 11pm curfew, eliminated vacation rentals by owner unless the owner lives on property (virtually eliminating the stuff happening in Kissimmee) and banning home gatherings of ten or more people, inside or out. But they left beaches open.

100 people are not dying each day right now in the state of Florida. I don’t think 100 people has ever died in one day in Florida due to covid.

That is reported deaths, that is correct, but they did not die in one day, it is spread over the past couple of months, but mainly past two weeks.Where did you see that? I'm looking at the dashboard and I see 9. Lower right corner:

I saw it in the article I quoted. The number you are looking at is incomplete, as evidenced by the disclaimer: "The Deaths by Day chart shows the total number of Florida residents with confirmed COVID-19 that died on each calendar day (12:00 AM - 11:59 PM). Death data often has significant delays in reporting, so data within the past two weeks will be updated frequently."

"Get sick. We can handle it!" is not a winning motto for a state.
Zero evidence showing that, but anything is possible

Wrong.
