Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[magrif]

Does anyone live or have family in Florida? Its weird because no matter who I talk to down there, they are not phased by the cases. They were happy everything was opened and are still doing their thing. And these are older people. I think because majority of the places in florida are not dense at all, so they feel safer?

EDIT: They are wearing masks of course in public

I live in FL and my family is taking them very seriously, as well as everyone else I come into contact with regularly. Why others aren't is a completely long and complicated explanation not suitable for this particular thread.

You can't keep people in panic mode forever. People took it seriously a few weeks back in March and April. But now no one saw the piles of dead bodies that the media promised that we would see. And so even fewer people now are buying into the fear.

Well then you clearly weren't in NYC back in April looking at all the refrigerated trucks parked behind the hospitals. Over 120,000 people have died in 4 months!

I live in Florida in a tourist/retirement town. People don't care around here. It frustrates me to no end.

I've been called a sheep for wearing masks in public.

Has not started yet.

Yes.

Spiking cases in the area is way more important than ADRs starting up.

And I just saw a woman in front of the camera for a couple of seconds. So.......maybe soon?

Has not started yet.

Last one he was about 30 mins late so not sure what I was expecting, lol

But he is pushing it. Some of us are trying to post on Disboards, watch his conference, and pretend to work......

Yes, my cousin who lives near Daytona stays home, does grocery delivery and pickup and had only left home for essential appointments. They don’t even get takeout. They are very concerned about the number of people who are out like nothing is going on, and the waves of visitors. WDW APs and don’t plan to go to the parks anytime soon.

 

[hertamaniac]

OK...now he is actually, really and truly about to speak.

My mom is a snowbird who was in FLA since early Feb. she came back to NY about a month ago. We were telling her to stay put and not travel, but her feeling was people in her area were not wearing masks and observing social distancing. She said when she had to go for groceries she would get crowded by people not wearing masks and said she would be much more comfortable in her ny condo where she’d have more grocery and food delivery options. She came back and self quarantined for 2 weeks. She looks so smart right now. Glad she did not listen to us and stay

Although I am seeing a deletion of entire pages from this thread...

NY tried that too in the beginning. It's not going to be enough. Florida is going to re-lock.

Florida isn’t going to relook Lol
