Rumor Guest temp check at bag check?

[Lilofan]

But its entirely pointless. Why do it at all. What exactly are people signing? You can have the virus and show no symptoms so signing to say you are healthy is pointless unless you have had a test to show you are immunue through having it in the past, in which case you have a system similar to China where you get a government issued App the shows whether you are allowed out or not.

There are going to be critics and rightly so. But when Bob Iger goes on the record, it's eventually going to happen. Submit it to it or don't go.

Is that what I had read about different colored "QR codes"? Brilliant use of tech or just a way of stigmatizing a portion of the population?

Both?

 

[zengoth]

Both?

That is the correct answer, yes. I also hear tell rumors about sheriff's dept. using app tech as a virtual "ankle bracelet" to keep violators from not honoring "safe at home". (sorry I cannot cite). But back to the QR - if you know you can't even visit Disney unless you have a green QR code, that weeds out many folks and the thermal imaging/temperature check is just a second line of defense. Our phones eventually become the digital version of "do you have your papers?"

Given the amount of people who enter the parks, this spells disaster. And you know how random Disney is, even with bag checks.

I knew I’d read something about temperature

Time to redefine normal body temperature? - Harvard Health

Is 98.6˚ F still the norm for body temperature? Data collected over almost 160 years show that the normal body temperature has been declining and is now roughly one degree lower. ...

We thought the AVERAGE body temp is 98.6 As an AVERAGE temperature, some are higher and some are lower and all measured temps AVERAGE out to 98.6 Not sure how the AVERAGE became the only acceptable normal temperature.

My head would explode with the ever increasing prices for everything at WDW. Not a good time to take my temperature.

Temp studies were done many many years ago, like in the 1800's and need to be revised

1 out of 4 people who got the virus likely got it from an asymtopatic carrier. These checks are nothing more than theater.

I think the theater isn't about the parks. The idea of Disney checking people's temperatures and then either ejecting them, sending them back to MCO or to a hospital, quarantining them in the resort or calling the police is absurd.

The theatrical showmanship going on here was Iger's. Most likely it was about things like propping up the share price, ensuring that Disney's corporate bond issue finds buyers, and maybe influencing the union negotiations to give them hope of an early return from furlough.

Don’t forget temperature checks are in use in locations all over the world including at Shanghai Disneyland. They were also implemented at most major cruise lines before the shut down. So the theater has been actually implemented not just talked about.

If the "new normal" is temp checks (or more....) at all public gatherings from now on, I might think that this will hurt advance planning and sales. I can imagine that many folks will not plop down $3,000 or $5,000 or $10,000 to pay up front for a trip that might get scuttled at the gate if someone has a temperature.

That animation is an uncovered cough so if masks were required you wouldn't get that result. Of course if people would cough into their elbow it wouldn't be an issue to start with.

Please point me to the study that took asymptomatic patients and studied the actual output of viral particles from breathing. Also, please point me to the study that has determined how many virus particles it takes to infect someone.

You keep making statements about asymptomatic spread that are not proven. Some asymptomatic lady infecting her family of 5 could be because she picks her nose and touches surfaces all over the apartment and have nothing to do with breathing. I'm not saying that is the explanation but no peer reviewed, scientific study has determined how this virus spreads.

Airports in Korea, China, and Singapore have checked temperatures of arriving passengers for a long time now. They use thermal-imaging cameras that can track several people at a time (as they walk by- no waiting in lines) and are very accurate. This is not theater—in fact, most people never realize their temperature is being checked.

Absolutely....... And you can add Philippines to the list. I've been walking through those scans with groups of 5, 10 or 20 at a time, which are placed very close to the arriving flights corridor and well before the customs/Bureau of Immigration kiosks checking passports and visas for years.

Disney could scan in bulk too.
Just intercepting 25% of obvious cases certainly helps. Yes, we know those without virus symptoms will pass undetected but I'll take the 10 to 50% (or whatever number). It can only help.

I'm sure this is not an Iger idea. TWDC is tracking these countries and places ( Universal Singapore) to see how they do it.

Why would Disney be watching universal when they are already doing it in Shanghai?

 

[peter11435]

Why would Disney be watching universal when they are already doing it in Shanghai?

Exactly. And they were preparing to do it in Paris before the closure and also implemented at DCL.

 

[HongKongFooy]

Why would Disney be watching universal when they are already doing it in Shanghai?

As a generality I'd rely on Singapore over China when it comes to cleanliness, order and trust both in the public and private sector.
Again just one far reaching generality.

The vacation insurance business just had a lightbulb appear over their head. (i figure this is already a cruise thing just like it's a concert thing, but I can imagine this being de rigueur during the reservation process.
