There's a developing story today in FL about how a national Covid testing lab did a massive test dump today and it has thrown a wrench in FL's steady decrease in positives. You can see the visual here on the State Report, but I also got an alert from my local news station about how FL is cutting ties with that lab for the huge test dump.

Crazy that the dump had positives going back to April.

Not much developing about it. Story is out in it's entirety at this point. CNBC link.

Don't think it makes much difference to us, beyond anyone looking at today's data should not freak out that trends suddenly changed in FL.

I saw that on their website. You have to read the comments. Thank you for pointing g this out to everyone as sone look only at the numbers. This has happened a couple of times before, too. Bottom line is Florida is still trending better.
 
I would love so much if my province, city, and most importantly school division could adopt Disney’s precautions and compliance. My mask was actually cozy today outside because it’s cold and windy and yet people here still act like they’re suffocating and will die wearing their chin guard oops I mean mask. Josh D’amaro come save us please.

Regardless how I feel about travel during all this, I have been pleasantly surprised with overall how compliant Disney guests have been and credit for that has to be given to the guests of course but also a large part of that goes to the powers that be at Disney taking it so seriously, the culture surrounding COVID safety they’ve created, and of course the CMs who interact with guests keeping it all going.

Good on Disney for being “over the top” and strict. Wish it were everywhere.

I was a little worried about the mask and heat but it’s just as humid in NY with a slightly lower temperature. The metal nose clasp broke in my mask yesterday and the cut piece is rubbing against the side of my nose, but this has been the first time I’ve been even slightly bothered by wearing a mask the entire time here. The only place I feel heat is where the top of my mask meets my cheeks.

I’m wearing a cloth mask btw, haven’t felt the need to change it out to the paper masks, I’ve just been washing this one every night and reusing it. If you’re suffocating, you’re probably wearing it wrong. And I have a full beard, so if it was “too hot”, I’d be the first one to feel it.

I haven’t even been to a relaxation zone since I’ve been here. And any time I’ve taken a drink I’ve tucked myself into a corner to sneak a drink while no one has been near me. I mean, I’ve left the parks to go smoke, so I guess that kind of counts as a “relaxation” zone.

speaking of, being at the smoking section in front of DHS is when I really realized how well Disney was doing keeping their guests in line. Guy from Texas and a guy from South Carolina both going on about how much it sucks having to wear the mask and how they can’t wait until they’re done and over with. But they’re both there at the parks. So I asked one of the guys if they’ve said anything to him when they’ve caught him withhis mask down and he says “Oh, I haven’t even dropped my nose out of my mask because they’re everywhere so there’s no point if I’m just gonna get yelled at to pull it back up.” I just laughed because Disney has guests whipped into shape. I just walked by the restrooms by the Seas and I’m walking next to a CM and she looks over and sees a guest with their nose out standing in the pathway and she didn’t say a word, they just locked eyes and the guy immediately pulled his mask up.

This is all what I wanted to see here. But if it was bad, I would have said here that things were bad. I’m not sugarcoating it because I’m a Disney shill, these are my honest findings and opinions. I had no issue saying that Disney Springs was a disaster. But everywhere else has been beyond my expectations and hope

I was wondering what the heck was going on as those numbers are usually published by 11central and didn't come out until after 5pm central. Good news to me at least that even with dump the percent is still 6% ish. (and I know that isn't accurate anyway). I was surpised the deaths weren't more today since they were so low on Sunday and even yesterday. I thought they'd jump back up to over 200. So that's a good thing for sure!
 
Arrived at epcot around 11:30, line for mouse gears was long due to the limited edition pins being released, walked towards world showcase. Dead. FEA at 12:30 only a10 minute wait, GFT walk on and could've stayed on the boat, dead. Arrived at world showplace around 2pm expecting lines for the new merch, none whatsoever, no lines for the food booths in there.
I was doing a bit of personal shopping so had to walk around world showcase again, FEA line was out the door and rounded the corner
Walked into mousegears on the way out

We’ve been to DS twice, one on a Fri night, disastrous, chin masks (my favorites), no social distancing, people all over, we didn’t stay in WoD.
Sunday afternoon, chill and respectful peeps.
IMO the stores are always too packed.
Parkwise, during the week, amazing, rode flight of passage 8 times, Slinky Dog Dash 6, so enjoyable. Weekend in MK, meh, very much crowded and no great social distancing. Not in lines. While walking, when there is a cavalcade.

They have done it a couple times.
 
Anyone who has visited since reopening with young children in strollers, do they let you roll the strollers in the Skyliner without folding them up? We haven't ridden in the Skyliners yet but I booked Riviera for November and it'd be nice to take the Skyliner to the parks instead of our truck but only if we don't have to fold our strollers up like the bus :)
Yes! It's a breeze
