Well, they confirmed it- CDC now says schools can do three feet apart rather than six.

I wonder if we'll see this implemented at WDW? Be a game changer all around if they do!

They'll take longer for public areas than schools, but this is a step in the right direction.

CDC guidance is specifically for schools. WDW isn't going to change anything based on this.

They didn’t compare to daily bag checks they compared it to the screening at airports for bags which is much more detailed.

Unless they switch to the walk through ones it will be a huge bottleneck once parks are packed solid again. But it’s all theater since most fevers people will just mask with medications before going in. Someone that is going to go in sick will still do it, the ones that wouldn’t will still not. And honestly only some fevers even mean a person is contagious.

our school district just announced no more temp checks - it's apparently caught zero cases since August. My own daughter had covid (which we didn't know, were completely unaware of her exposure the week before), went to school in the morning with no temp during screening, and by lunchtime was sent home sick with a fever that kept going up and up by the hour. Temp checks are total theater.

A few (hundred? lol) pages back folks were discussing how we wish WDW would follow the WHO guidance which says three feet- not six. So hoping this was a push in that direction. I think 'six feet' is so ingrained in America now it'd be hard to change.

A theme park isn't a school

Correct. And I will repeat myself one last time. I never said that break rooms are not an issue. I said I don’t think break rooms are the reason they won't open more things, because IMO the break room issue is easily solvable. I’m really not sure why folks are continuing to harp on this. It’s my opinion. I never questioned anyone, former CM or otherwise, who said break rooms have limited capacity. All I’ve said is that I don’t believe that is what’s preventing Disney from opening stuff up. Can we move on to something else now?

Yes we can move on, but it's not easily solvable ✌

A theme park isn't a school

Hey now, how else can I justify taking the kid out of school for trips here and there for Disney? It's an eduacitonal experience, darnnit. (Kidding... don't come at me!)

I agree. Temp checks are not a good screening tool. Our family had covid and my brother's too (months apart). None of us had a fever. My brother said there were cases in his work that were not caught by temp checks. My daughter had a temp check at a doctor's office and it actually measured "lo" because she had just come in from the cold weather outside. It is totally inconsistent and can be manipulated.

This article said the students can be three feet apart, but still said that adults need to be six feet from students and each other. This would not be easily translatable to Disney.

Apparently no one else remembers the pages and pages of convo from earlier this week on speculating on why WDW won't follow the WHO recommend of three feet distance which is the main reason I shared the CDC article.

Personally, I don't see why the CDC doesn't align with what the rest of the world is doing but that's a different convo.

who piled on? You asked if WDW would start this soon and people answered.

Anecdotal evidence but everyone I've personally known that has gotten covid haven't run fevers. I suppose the argument is it can't hurt.. if it manages to catch someone with a fever then it's better than nothing?
