Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[RamblingMad]

Yeah, this could have a big impact on all the guidelines in a couple months if it proves to be as effective as it appears it could be, especially for Disneyland. This would fill the therapeutic step Newsome is demanding for stage 4.

FDA to approve Remdesivir as an emergency treatment for COVID-19.

I think this translates into if you get it, you might get better faster, and you’re less likely to die. I still don’t think you want to catch it.

For Florida people coming from NY, NJ, CT and LA will be asked to self isolate for 14 days. This executive order expires May 9th but the National Guard are on mission until the end of May. National Guard is the one screening passengers and giving them the guidelines
So it's not really a ban of coming, people just have to self isolate for 14 days

So is there a huge traffic back up coming into the state b/c of this? Anyone know?

It is exactly what it potentially means. It fills the toughest qualification for Newsome letting Disneyland reopen.

Look none of us what to get the virus, but you are living a dream world if you don't think at some point you will get it. The shutdowns were never meant to eliminate the virus. It spreads too easy for that with too many asymptomatic carriers. They are meant to slow the spread of the virus to not overwhelm the medical system. The virus will always be with us. Even a vaccine, most likely years away, won't eliminate it. Resistance to Coronaviruses are only temporary.

From acquaintances I know in the front lines administering this drug, much of it's effectiveness is when it is administered early. If the virus is vastly progressed it does little. Which makes sense as it blocks the viral load. Still very positive and I hope it helps many from getting to the severe illness stage, but unfortunately not going to be a cure.

Social distancing at Disney..problem solved

 

[LSUmiss]

Translation: we're not going to tell Disney what they're going to do. They're going to tell us what they are going to do, and we will go along with it because we trust them and their success is vital to our survival.

Which is what I predicted about a week ago & some posters insisted the government would decide.

Isn't that a good thing?.... There will never be a cure for a virus, but can be a good treatment.

And if all comes to fruition, qualifies as a therapeutic for phase 4 openings in CA - Disneyland right?

I didn't mean to imply it was a cure for every case. Newsome's stage 4 mandates don't require a cure, they require a vaccine or a therapeutic. This would fill that mandate if it has the same results in wide use as it had in the trials.

 

[LSUmiss]

I think this could make a 6/1 opening possible, if not probable. If it’s up to wdw & they know it now, then I think they can work to make a 6/1 opening happen since that’s when they have allowed ppl to start booking again. Now I want to know what the modifications will be & when they’ll go from 50% to 75% b/c I’d like to get in at the 50% part.

Don't know how topical this is, but the way Florida is handling some COVID19-related issues is interesting. https://www.tampabay.com/news/healt...onavirus-death-data-the-state-made-them-stop/

Reporting is a mess everywhere (us and overseas). No consistencies at all.

The google traffic at the GA/FL line looks clear. haha. In all seriousness, I live in a heavy tourist area with the same 14 day stipulation and law enforcement aren’t policing vehicles. There are billboards up if you are from a hotspot, to quarantine for 14 days. I tend to believe more people have common sense than don’t, unfortunately we only hear about the idiots.

They could be like magic bands! Free for some colors, $$ for custom ones

I'm going to postulate that it will be as effective as something like oseltamivir (Tamiflu) vs. influenza. It'll knock a day off your flu symptoms if you take it early, but once you're hospitalized for full blown pneumonia and cytokine storm, it's not even the virus anymore that's the enemy... it's your own body.

But yes, a checkbox for phase 4, methinks.

love this!

Honestly if someone is going to break the rules they probably aren't going to advertise it.... but i have seen some not so smart people around here... so you never know.

However i will admit before any states were locked down and we saw the writing on the wall we debating going to Florida, for a host of reasons, we didn't and i wouldn't go now either.

However i will say if come June or July i still have to self isolate for 14 days to travel to Florida i will be annoyed. My family lives there, we go to Disney often... i would not be happy, and i would not go, and i am sure many others would skip out too, they aren't going to be able to restart tourism if they are making large numbers of people self isolate for 14 days, because people aren't going to come.

Wasn't there some talk about Desantis commenting today?

I hope so. I miss DL. I was planning to go back for Halloween.

If Disney makes me wear those, I just won't go.

 

[juice0358]

Rumor I keep hearing from different people is "it is actually Desantis who is trying to nudge Disney to open up sooner rather than later, knowing that the optics of Disney reopening shows it is safe out there and helps make things seem normal again." He is thinking people will say if Disney can operate safely, going to a local retail store, restaurant, etc.. can not be as risky as once thought a couple weeks ago.

Now I have not heard that Disney is super receptive to just opening for the sake of opening, so I will assume they will make it on their own terms, as most of us own here think. I do feel for Disney though, a lot is on their shoulders with this reopening and perception is everything nowadays.

That's not a good sign for other amusement parks.

It is great news but the issue is that is a drug that can't be made in mass quantities easily so will likely remain something only for severe cases.
