OC Health Care Agency Recommends Re-Opening Disneyland Resort - Anaheim Independent

The Orange County Health Care Agency is recommending Governor Newsom allow the Disneyland Resort and Knott’s Berry Farm be allowed to re-open, reported the OC Register: Local health authorities have given the green light for Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm to reopen while California theme...

>>The Governor’s cavalier announcement will have real world results. Many hoteliers have been hanging on, keeping employees on furlough and paying their health care benefits in hopes the Governor would allow the Disneyland Resort and other theme parks to re-open, as he has with most other sectors of the economy. Newsom’s brush-off will lead more and more to conclude those hopes are in vein, and follow with lay-offs of their own.<<

It's a three day weekend, TP.
You are forgetting about 'Columbus Day' ( or by its alternative name, Indigenous People's Day ).
Or is that not a 'bank holiday' in California?

So Tuesday is when we will be getting more verbal shots fired in this never ended saga.
Disneyland will still be closed....alas.

Columbus Day isn't nearly as widely observed here on the West Coast as it is in the Northeast. Basically, the Italian-American community was never quite as influential here in the West Coast cities as they were in Tammany Hall in New York or in Government Center in Boston.

I had forgotten it was Columbus Day weekend until I went to the Mikasa.com website about an hour ago to order a replacement salad plate and saw the Columbus Day Sale! banner. Alas, my pattern is not on sale.

And as a Swede, it's about this point on this holiday weekend where I remind everyone that Leif Erickson and his Viking crew arrived in what is now Newfoundland, Canada about 500 years before Columbus landed in the Bahamas.

Regardless of how you celebrate it, happy Columbus Day weekend folks!

Hotels in Orange County, FL are doing great...

I met two friends for sushi tonight in old town San Diego. Everyone removed their mask the moment they walked in the door, and no one put their mask back on inbetween bites. Being the hardcore rebel that I am, I even walked out of the joint without a mask after giving a bow and an "Arigatou Goizamasu" to the sushi chefs.

But since no one from Sacramento ever leaves Sacramento, no one cared.

Just a reminder that partisan political posts will be deleted - try to be equal opportunity criticizers. I understand that it is difficult to not make political posts when a politician's name is in the title, but I think you may be smart enough to accomplish it - otherwise another thread will disappear into the Political Forums and Social Issues oubliette. Where it will then be dominated by the WDW crowd.

This is prime case and point why the virus is still here in large numbers lol.

I guess that depends on what your definition of "large numbers" is. For San Diego County, it's currently 5 people per 100,000 testing positive for Covid daily, or about 165 people per day in a county of 3.3 Million.

To continue with the San Diego theme, Shamu Stadium has a capacity of 5,000 people. Your chances of getting picked to go down to the tank to get kissed by Shamu when the stadium is completely full are four times better than your chances of testing positive for Covid. I'm willing to take that chance.

Not to point you out specifically, because a lot of people are wrong the same way you are, but you’re taking facts, and one specifically that isn’t true, and coming to completely wrong assumptions. None of those countries have the cultural issues we have. A minority population that has been hit very hard, an extremely overweight population, a culture that isn’t inherently submissive to authority, individual states rights, a huge immigrant population and on and on........
If you take other counties with like demographics and cultural similarities the covid numbers are very similar to ours.
Now, nobody, and I wish Democrats would stop saying this, nobody thinks the ACTUAL virus is a hoax. A hoax means it doesn’t exist. What people were referring to as a hoax was the REACTION. Creating as much despair, fear and economic hardship as possible in order to gain back lost political power.
Im not saying I subscribe to this belief, though the virus has unquestionably been used for political gain, and we didn’t need to paralyze our economy as we have, but the pandemic numbers aren’t pretty.
Im holding out judgement until after the election to judge if the media and political left reaction has been a hoax or if they do live in this much fear. I shutter to think of the media a political reaction now if we were facing what we faced in the 1940’s.
“We have nothing to fear but fear itself,” would be ridiculed and demonized and blamed for causing the death of thousands of soldiers.

That’s your opinion, but I don’t think I am wrong with my assertion belief about our people not being taken seriously.

And you are more than welcome too, a few people here and there aren’t a big deal but when large quantities of people do it, it’s a bit of a problem

Looks like Newsom lost the first round and it's heading to trial.

Yep, of course the face that the Secretary of States website having something that proves the claims Newsom were making were factually false didn't help Newsom any. Of course that has now magically disappeared from the website. It is a shame there is something like a way back machine that archives everything on the internet and allows anyone to go back in time and find anything ever posted.......oh, there is? How convenient.

They did care, they hated that you even wore the mask when entering.....San Diegans would much prefer you to leave your mask at home, thank you very much.

Yesterday the nation of Australia reported a total of 15 new cases. Yes, Australia is a sparsley populated country, however there are 5.3 million people in Sydney and 4.9 million in Melbourne. For comparison the city of Los Angeles has a populatiin of 4 million. Southern California has utterly failed in managing the coronavirus outbreak no matter how you try to spin it.

Actually, Australia failed here, they completely locked down their country, only allow residents out for a limited amount of time each day and remove all freedoms. This is failure, especially since they still had cases despite the lockdowns.

*sigh* Of course this is your response.

Don't you people ever stop the back and forth?!

That not failure...this about protecting the society!

Just to clarify a bit here...

Australia = 25 Million People, 2,970,000 Square Miles (2.9 Million Square Miles)
California = 40 Million People, 163,696 Square Miles (That's 5% of the size of Australia)
Metropolitan Sydney = 5.3 Million People (Sydney City Limits = 4.8 Million)
Metropolitan Melbourne = 4.9 Million People (Melbourne City Limits = 4.7 Million)
Metropolitan Los Angeles = 15.3 Million People (Los Angeles City Limits = 4.0 Million, Los Angeles County = 10.1 Million)

It helps that they are an island continent nation, but Australia has always had very strict border controls, but since March 20th it has been virtually impossible to travel to Australia from any other foreign nation. There is currently no ability for a non-Australian to get into the country for tourism or business, except for very rare situations approved by their senior government.

The border controls in Australia are so strict, they won't even let Australians leave their own country. They are confined to Australia, indefinitely now. Like East Germany circa 1980.

Home Affairs brings together Australia's federal law enforcement, national and transport security, criminal justice, emergency management, multicultural affairs, settlement services and immigration and border-related functions, working together to keep Australia safe.

There is still no vaccine. Either Australia can remain cut off from the rest of the world forever and keep its population under strict curfew and travel restrictions for years to come, or Australia will need to figure out a way to manage the Covid virus that kills mainly the very elderly and sickly. Or pray for a vaccine in 2021 or 2022.

As for me? I'm a happy American and I will continue going to dinner parties, going out for sushi, making Target runs, getting my haircut, playing some tennis (slowly), going to the garden center for fall annuals, etc., etc. I won't be any more afraid of Covid than I am of the flu, or pneumonia, or cancer, or a drunk driver, or a lightning strike.

Enjoy life! We're all gonna die anyway.
