Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[TakesFaithTrust&PixieDust]

17 yesterday, I believe.

That’s only for one days results. The rate is around 5 cumulative which is double what it was a couple of weeks ago.

There are areas of Florida that didn’t see large protests that are still seeing massive spikes in new cases (even in relatively affluent areas). Ive been out and about a bit, and I believe County officials when they say the issue is noncompliance. People aren’t wearing masks and socially distancing, and it seems like the orders are not being effectively enforced (if there is such a way). After there was a local mask mandate put into place this week, our local mall was still not enforcing the requirement (even some security guards were not wearing masks). While the protests absolutely did not help and were a factor in recent upticks in some areas, assigning them a large chunk of responsibility for the recent spike is not only not reflected in the data but it also is unproductive as it doesn’t address the root of the problem: noncompliance.

Noncompliance is a huge issue re: masks. We went to our local zoo this morning for the members' opening and within the first hour many adults and children had masks under their noses/chins or hanging from their ears.

ETA: we're in PA.

Thanks for the info.

It is being reported that Florida conducted over 50,000 tests yesterday. Highest one day total so far.

Now no one come at me I'm just posting testing since it was brought up.

That's this thread Also why I don't post much.

I kinda felt like we had a nice bond going a few days ago where we were helping and supporting each other and now the poison is seeping in. It is unfortunate that we can’t see different sides, respect different opinions and agree that it is really okay to disagree.

Can you tell I teach Elementary school?

It of course becomes a problem for everyone. If you took Southwest to Orlando, but the person in the room next to you took United and sat next to someone with the virus, now you have the virus also.

That’s not how this works. It’s unlikely you will get Covid from someone in the room next to you unless you come into close contact with them without a mask in the hallway or elevator.

Plus airlines have strict mask requirements now to the point many a banning people for non compliance. Basically if Someone is infected and they are on a flight who is wearing a mask is not going to infect everyone on they flight who is also wearing a mask.

So are we thinking ADR's on Monday?

Some places opened fast. Some places opened slow. In the end, when EACH PLACE reaches the level of the other, you will get the same results.

Its either you want positives faster, or slower. In the end, positives will happen everywhere things open.

The places that are slowly opening now, and are doing well, will be in the same position as the places doing bad right now, when they hit that exact opening point

Not really. As a New Yorker, we're in the middle of phase 2 and still at a 1% positive rate, which none of the states who opened around Memorial Day were at then or now.

United and American are also now going to be flying at 100%, no social distancing.

Wow! I got an e-mail from Southwest that the middle seats will remain open through September.

The Florida numbers are sobering. You simply can not claim Florida has a handle on it, it’s gotten away from them.

Opening a theme park when the numbers are steady at least kinda makes sense. Opening them now does not.

Let’s face it, Disney wouldn’t announce a opening date if this had been the trend prior to announcing. There is no way. But they have one and wow, it's such a runaway train now.

The angst must be serious.

Geez I forgot why I don’t post much. It was a simple conversation I obviously stupidly shouldn’t have shared. I’m not a person who tries to make people feel dumb for different perspectives. But yes I’ll go smack my forehead and accept how inferior I am.

I apologize if you took it that way Janet. I was more being critical of the agent trying to spin things. I’m still rooting you get to take your trip with no problems.

We are nearly wide open and cases have gone down to nearly nothing during this and remained stable. What has saved us is getting control EARLY while contact tracing wasn’t an impossible feat and keeping on top of it. We had community spread at a point but it appears to be controlled now. Almost all our cases have been from travel (lots from truckers) or close contact of someone who travelled for quite some time now. Our biggest issue in the coming months will be continuing to keep it under control when the border opens back up and travel increases.

Regardless of the speed of opening, it has to be done in conjunction with lots of other precautions and measures to prevent things from spiking like crazy. It appears many places did not do this, hello Florida.

Sheesh folks. I jump to the end to see what’s new around here... *facepalm* Guess Rteetz probably tried to eat lunch...

Let’s remember in his honor: THE TOPIC IS DISNEY OPERATIONAL UPDATES

How about how fast those AP reservation days are going on weekends? I’m admittedly surprised!

I know I am worried about the passholder previews. Gonna have to act quick once the info is released!

Well, not to be a contrarian, but it's actually
"Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus"

So I'd say postulating on what may happen due to Coronavirus fits....

On the bright side of the articles saying record infections today, it ends with this. Lets hope it stays that way. It's hard to get 20 and 30 year olds to listen, in any state. Banning alcohol in resturants and bars will deff help with that. I guess the real question will turn into, if this many people are getting it, but not being in the hospital or dying, do people care less about getting it? I hope not. But I see it happening

" Officials and doctors in Florida says despite the surge in cases, hospital capacity remains good statewide. Doctors say they're seeing younger people now with COVID-19. In some counties, the median age for those testing positive is now younger than 30. At Orlando Health, a large hospital system in central Florida, Dr. Sunil Desai says of the cases they're seeing, "The acuity is less, a lot less folks using or requiring mechanical ventilation or the severe presentations of COVID. We're not seeing as much of that."

Me too. I’m thinking the pool for AP is much smaller than resort guests. Plus people must just be booking their first 3 days for early and we’ll see weekends book up on a monthly basis as people start using their days.

I'm hopeful. Just trying to be realistic as well. Sometimes they can coexist..

That’s only for one days results. The rate is around 5 cumulative which is double what it was a couple of weeks ago.

Orange County numbers for the last 2 weeks:

Date. 6/12. 6/13. 6/14. 6/15. 6/16. 6/17. 6/18. 6/19. 6/20. 6/21. 6/22. 6/23. 6/24. 6/25
Percent Positive. 5.8. 5.0. 5.7. 8.2. 11.9 10.0. 15.1. 17.9. 16.2. 11.5. 13.4. 17.2. 15.9. 17.9

The number of tests for the first 12 days in this period ranged from 1100 to 3200 Per day. On the 24th they tested
Over 4500, on the 25th they tested close to 6000.

I have a reservation for Lunch at Disney Springs next week. I think I’ll cancel that. Orange County is just too risky right now.
