I wasn‘t focusing on hospitalizations since that isn’t a metric used for travel restrictions. It’s good for the community if less people are hospitalized obviously, but not relevant to getting FL off of the travel lists and getting more tourists to WDW.
For Florida, which we are discussing, yesterday was the lowest C19 hospitalizations since the breakout this summer, so yes
Yes, I agree we hit a base line due to the amount testing amounts
So yes - means no they weren't. Stop trying to twist so much, you will freeze like that
Of course the more you test the more positive results , but the number of people sick doesn‘t change based on how many are tested or put another way testing less may result in finding less positive people each day but that doesn’t change the fact that people are still sick. Less sick people testing positive means more people walking around in the community spreading the virus which will result in an increase in actual sick people.
I get that from your personal prospective travel restrictions don’t matter. They aren’t restricting you so who cares. From the perspective of TWDC its still a big problem. Not just travel restrictions but the overall lack of desire for many people to travel. WDW may be “crowded“ with locals on APs right now but that’s not where the big profits come from. They have the same issue that we’ve talked about since the summer. The out of state tourists aren’t coming back at the rate they would want. That‘s unlikely to change any time soon. Without those tourist dollars it’s hard to justify extra costs. Aside from the economic impact Disney is also waiting for an Improvement in Covid stats to even consider relaxing restrictions or making a meaningful increase in capacity. Not looking good. Praying for the vaccine to work and enough people to be willing to take it.
Twist? they are the lowest C19 hospitalizations since the beginning , of course they are not lower than before Covid. smh
Once again -p "ever". Your words.
Sure, yes said ever , figured most would get the context, but alas. you win.
I never said all, but the fact remains that over half the hotel rooms are moth balled. There’s no way to say crowds are back and it’s out of state tourists driving it. The increase in crowds at the parks started around the time they lifted the AP restrictions. It’s reasonable to assume a large portion of the increase in crowds are local AP holders or people driving in from neighboring states. Remember we have TSA stats showing airfare still running 30-40% what it was last year for same day. The masses aren’t flying yet.
The TSA gate traffic is over 1M for the first time yesterday and not even a holiday weekend. I remember when a month or so ago when it was only 500-600k range. Note this is also without any business travel or international travel. That alone would be around 20+%I never said all, but the fact remains that over half the hotel rooms are moth balled.

1M is ~ 40% of normal. This is not surging back
Did I say was surging back? It is steadily and slowly coming back. It was down 95% at one point.1M is ~ 40% of normal. This is not surging back
I see you edited your post
Air travel is certainly up from previous points in the pandemic, but the point is it’s nowhere near back to normal or in the context of this discussion nowhere near where it needs to be to help Disney. I get that some people are flying to go to WDW now. I have a friend who is going in about a month from around me, but that’s anecdotal and not relevant to the need for a large number of tourists to want to travel.
yes to put a real number there as opposed to a percentage as I used a real number (1M) to begin with as some were missing the point
Your point missed the mark. Try harder.yes to put a real number there as opposed to a percentage as I used a real number (1M) to begin with as some were missing the point
