Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

I wish that chart showed U.S. numbers. Regardless, the stats don’t really make a huge jump until you get into ages over 70. The difference between 50 and 60 isn’t that big. As a general statement, older people are at more risk, but that isn’t a hard and fast rule. There are many 65 yr olds healthier than younger people. I think leaving it to each individual, who knows their own medical history is best.

Agreed. We took my Mom when she was mid 70s - she ran rings around us most days! lol. I only wish that I’ve been blessed with her genetics

That’s how my dad is. He’s almost 70 and yet can handle it better than me due to years of going to flea markets!

3rd week of June! Gym owners are being told it was due to a lack of interest to be profitable don’t know the truth in that .

The cheer community was outraged that the event went from an invite event based on how well your team performed, to an open invite for any team that wanted to come. Lack of interest doesn't surprise me at all.

The increased mortality rate coinciding with older populations is simply because people are more likely to have underlying medical conditions the older they get. My parents are in their 60’s but have no underlying medical conditions. They’re being somewhat cautious, but they’d probably be fine if they contracted this. However, they wouldn’t go to WDW when it reopens as my mom has told me many times...

Exactly. My Mom gave me a hard No when I asked if she’d like a weekend trip to WDW for her September birthday. She says it just isn’t a comfortable idea right now.

Road trip...it’s 6 hours and 11 minutes. Hmmm, if Disneyland can’t get it together by August it might be an option.

I would go in a heartbeat. My May trip was cancelled but I refuse to go if I must wear a mask or Disney can't or won't give me the full Disney experience. So it seems I'll wait but not because I'm scared of the virus.

LA expects it to be extended. It hasn’t actually been extended. Look for actual info at their weekly briefing tomorrow.

The end of July or August? I've been reading both. I can't imagine LA county on lockdown till end of August....ugh.

I would wait for an official announcement honestly. Sounds like it might come tomorrow.

I've missed several pages. An announcement tomorrow for DL or WDW?

I believe it’s an announcement about LA County in California, not DL or WDW.

No, this is about the possibility of Los Angeles County extending their stay at home order through August.

Silly me, thinking there might be real news from Disney

Or the few hundreds pages or so that remain of very much not really on topic stuff.

Just like mitigation measure for the virus in disneyworld, actions of the mods are never going to 100% effective or get everything but they do the best they can.

I’m not perfect. Nobody is. I can’t possibly control every single post or see every single post as one single person. These boards have over 500,000 users. I have a life myself. I have other things to do. I don’t get paid for this. I do the best I can.

I've heard that wearing a mask helps prevent the spread of off-topic posts.

Sorry; I tried, but I could't resist that one. I'll just see myself out...

Thank you rteetz for everything you do on these boards to keep us informed about the place I love. You are appreciated

It’s sort of like the argument that others were speeding when you got caught. Ummmm...you were still speeding. I can’t imagine being a mod here.

i do not envy you on these virus threads but I think you are doing as good a job as possible. I know the volume of posts with these virus threads is so much more then you are used to. Mad props for all you do even when you delete my posts.

and what are you doing trying to have a life?
