Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

Great, but I thought trump had no authority over opening states back up?

So it means nothing?

They are just guidelines.

On a side note, a lot of manufacturing like Boeing, Nissan will be returning to work Monday

This was the "guidelines" given to the governors. The governors will go off this guideline. What they do and don't is up to them and the rest is political and not appropriate to talk about in this thread.

 

[Spridell]

Also lets not forget these are just "guidelines"

There is a possibility the Gov could EXEMPT Disney from these guidelines. Also the possibility the Gov might suggest it stays closed longer than these guidelines.

We just dont know yet.......

I heard the model will update today and that it is good news with less death predicted

I hope so! That would be great news.

Again, if that were the case, I would think those numbers would be released before the big press conference. That way they have the numbers to back it up.

Now, something I saw was that IHME is planning to add predictions related to relaxing of social distancing with this new update which could definitely be sticky.

Ahh k. I didn't realized it had already been announced. I didn't think it was for another hour.

A bit more positive news .... This could also affect a Disney opening

June 1st will be at the earliest unless they call themselves a restaurant, which i imagine a lot of them will try to pivot to in May

My normal bar had bar and restaurant areas. So even if the bar seating is closed (whhich I expect), I'll still just go and get a table. Don't normally like taking a whole table for just me especially if mainly drinking but if that's the only option thats the only option. Will help the restaurat maintain social distanicng.

FYI, park hours have been updated to show the parks as closed through 5/9.

Let the wild speculation commence about what people "know" that means for Disney's plans.

Well that would allow WDW to open for Mother's Day on 5/10...

hasn't officailly been announced but "leaked" by the governors

 

[mshanson3121]

So he's leaving it up to each governor. I think he's going to find a lot less places open than he thinks.

 

[Spridell]

Listening to the Florida news conference right now, the Governor is talking a lot about "phase 2" and going into "phase 2" quickly

Don't know what that means, don't shoot the messenger just talking a lot about Phase 2 .

 

[xuxa777]

The stay at home orders were to" lessen the curve" not to wait until there is a vaccine or treatments. If it is monitored appraoch like in the guideline it is the smart way to get out of this.

 

[mshanson3121]

What I'm wondering, what is meant by gatherings of no more than 50? Will that be the maximum capacity of any place - bar, restaurant, theatre etc? Or are they talking about weddings, parties, fundraising events etc...?

That is how it should be (leave it up to governers). Some states are in better shape then others. and I like the downward trajectory for 14 days before moving phases which means is some inventive not to try to go more quickly then they should (though I bet we do have some states that do wind up going too quickly and get some spikes).

Well, that makes sense. I think a lot of Governors or states are already ready to hit phase 2, or will be soon. I know some of the hardest hit areas will want to take more time, but if their numbers are dropping and other states are opening, their citizenry will put some serious pressure on them to open soon as well. It's all sounding rather promising to me, though I'm still happy I made my summer reservation later rather than earlier.
We have to remember, a LOT of states never even had a first wave ... my understanding is hospitals are sitting empty. That was sad to me reading an earlier post that some hospitals are laying folks off as they cancelled all non emergency surgeries.

Here you go

there is an out in this where it says "unless precautionary measures are observed"

That opens it up to a lot of interpretation

 

[xuxa777]

Florida will move on these guidelines most likely, I mean they deemed WWE an essential business earlier this week.

Also on the call it is reported Trump wants sports open ASAP, stadiums and ballparks to open with fans with empty seats for social distancing, that will be interesting how that would work

No surprise. NOLA got burned pretty badly with Mardi Gras.

Mardi Gras is the reason why I don't think the argument that just being outside prevents COVID from spreading. If that were the case, we would not have seen the spreading of COVID from those attending Madi Gras and the Spring Breakers hanging out at the beach and bringing COVID back to their towns.

I just have a hard time believing Mardi Gras is the only reason here. I guess it’s odds but everyone I know attended Mardi Gras for several days & no one has gotten sick.
ETA: but if it was that, Mardi Gras is more than just ppl outside together. It’s ppl outside, in close proximity, with no place to wash their hands, eating & drinking & touching things off the floats & usually partying or on the go in some form for hours each day & days at a time wearing ppl down.
