Rumor Guest temp check at bag check?

[NelleBelle]

If contracting the virus confers lasting immunity (general thought is yes but not yet certain), then a blood test showing immunity should allow someone to participate in the world fully again.

If this insanity doesn’t abate, then we need to produce certification of immunity; then those immune can staff/attend the parks (and rest of the world) without worrying others.

So what should those of us do who obeyed the stay-at-home orders (I literally haven’t been out of my house since early March due to being at high-risk) and can't produce proof of "immunity?" Scientists aren't even sure how long antibodies can provide "immunity" as much is still unknown at this time.

I think having a rapid test that can show you are not positive before you board Magical Express (otherwise, you'll be onboard a bus with potential infectious persons) or at the resort/hotel you're staying at (and for those who are doing vacation rentals--see guest services upon initial arrival) to get your magic bands encoded.

The current rapid test involves shoving a swab all the way up your nose and then having a medical lab, with trained lab tech’s process the test. It’s not something you can do at an airport.

I think the hope for any kind of finger prick test is about as good as the hope for a vaccine. Meaning... it’s possible, it’s being researched, but it’s not realistically going to appear in the next several months.

Right. The current tests are more invasive, expensive, time-consuming, and risky to those who administer/run the tests. I hope we soon see something cheap, easy, fast, and low-risk. Extra points for something that doesn't log any personal information.

Even if you plan was possible...it only covers on-property rooms. That’s not enough to run the complex long term. 20 hotels in wdw - 500 just outside

So you think locks shouldn’t exist because some people can break in anyway?

Do you not lock your house either?

 

[TeriofTerror]

Have you ever seen a locked car keep a thief that wants to breakin out? Locks only keep the honest ones out and that's not who I worry about. I never lock my car because it's a convertible and if you lock it the bad guys will just cut the top and do more damage, better to just never leave anything of value in it.

"Locks only keep the honest ones out"? Honest...thieves?
I have a convertible and I always lock it. Locks can slow the thief down and make their work more noticeable to onlookers -- a definite deterrent, IMO.

Still dealing with biohazard material. And can you see the hordes of kids screaming at finger prick? Or even some adults LOL?

I'd be screaming if I would be standing for hours for a pin prick prior to entering the MK park melting in the oppressive heat. But my cries will be muffled wearing the sweat soaked face mask.

I never did until I got married my wife locks it now. If it were up to me I would not lock it as it is just a nuisance. Growing up the doors were unlocked so that's how I got used to living. Don't get me wrong, there is a gun in every room of our house except the kids' rooms concealed from anyone that doesn't know where they are... to me that's more useful than a lock on a door.

 

[phillip9698]

This is like saying that since locks can be defeated, we shouldn't have locks on our doors. Locks are just security theater!

Nothing's perfect. Can't let perfection be the enemy of the good.

This comparison only makes sense if 50% of your locks flat out don't work. No, I don't want a lock that only works 50% of the time on my door.

The asymptomatic people spewing the virus everywhere would be a major problem in a theme park.

Or if turning the on the back of the door may or may not actually lock the door but sometimes it does so you turn the and hope it does something meanwhile you tell everyone living in the house “nothing to worry about, I locked the door”

Lol... I pretty much never cuss in real life so seeing the **** for k n o b was entertaining.

If you're referring to the Disney legend, Dick Van Dyke, you're correct. You can't type it here unless you have permission from him first.

[DisneyCane]

At some point, yes. We don't know either way because of the lack of tests. We shoulda already have had them by now...

After tomorrow they US will have done more tests per capita than South Korea which had been held to be the gold standard in testing. New York has tested more per capita than all but the smallest countries.

Using a current infection test to find how many asymptomatic carriers there are requires getting asymptomatic people to go get tested. Until recently the test was very unpleasant. It still wouldn't give great statistics because an asymptomatic person wouldn't know when to get tested so somebody could have been infected and recovered the day before the test and not be counted.

The antibody test will be the way to figure out how many asymptomatic cases there were. People will be motivated to be tested to find out if they are immune.

In another thread a poster who works in a lab described the logistics of the "rapid test." In summary it isn't practical to do that kind of screening.

I love American attempts at British English! What you’ve written is utterly nonsensical but very charming. (Said with affection.)

That's the current "rapid test." The screening isn't practical if that's the only sort of test available. But if a new, cheaper, faster, and less obtrusive test is made available, it might make sense for Disney to employ it as part of a screening system.
