Disneyland Reopening Speculation Superthread

[edhmom]

You’re probably right. Just thinking of some possible “quick fixes” out loud. Lol I live in a very conservative county of CA (Placer) and very few people wear masks when out even after it was mandatory. I guess I’ll keep praying

I'm right next to you in El Dorado County and while very few people were wearing masks a week ago, after Newson mandated the new mask order people surprisingly started wearing them more.

We’re looking at May/June. I have this fantasy in my head where we pick up our son for his last day of kindergarten, but instead of driving home, we drive to the airport. He would lose his mind ☺

I would only do this if the reservation system is still in place then, though, because it would put us right over Memorial Day weekend. Well, I think so anyway. The school calendar is such a mess, I can’t say for sure when the last day of school will be!

They just pushed the start of in person attendance of schools back two weeks here in AZ so now the earliest would be August 17th. Who knows what this will mean for the school calendar but I’m sure we’ll start to find out more as the districts begin to roll out their updates after today’s announcement. We too have a little one that is starting kindergarden this year, wish it wouldn’t be such a crazy and wild time for her.

Sorry. Shouldn’t have said anything. Thinking out loud- so much going on I just wish things were more efficient and linear.

Nothing wrong with being frustrated. As far as the medical information goes, research is happening as we speak, but collecting data, analyzing data, peer reviewing the results and conclusions, and distributing the gathered information and the recommendations that are based on it to everybody takes time. That’s why some of the information seems to come out piecemeal. Responsible, rigorous scientific study can unfortunately not be rushed.

What makes things even more confusing is that responsible scientists’ statements and recommendations have to, in our modern world, compete with a lot of misinformation—exaggerations, half-truths that have been taken out of context, and complete fabrications. There are many reasons why people would generate and spread lies (attention-seeking, sincere ignorance, wishful thinking, malicious mischief, etc.).

I second one of the previous poster’s recommendations as to using good, well researched sources. I have specifically found the New York Times’s science and public health reporting helpful for sorting through all those rapidly emerging facts and for keeping track of our changing and evolving understanding of this disease (in addition to scientific articles that my husband, who is a physician, shares with me).

I’m sure many of us (myself included) share your desire for more clarity, but this is an unprecedented situation (any previous pandemics this planet experienced happened when the world was far less interconnected), so all of us are forced to figure it out as we go.

Best wishes for continued health, safety, and sanity in a crazy, incredibly confusing world!

For "thinking out loud" on the virus and COVID related issues, this isn't the best thread for that unless it is directly DLR related. (Remember, folks, even when speculating, we're trying to keep this thread on topic!) Try the Community Board on the Just for Fun forum -- there are already a lot of threads going on that board where people are discussing COVID news -- and new threads are being posted daily. Jump on in!

That's a different problem I don't think the media changing how it reports covid data will solve that problem.

Agree. Common sense wasn't all that common before COVID and is fast becoming less and less common by the day, it would appear.

Does anyone watch the mattercam on a regular basis? When the camera circles to the esplanade view, it looks like there are a couple of white trailers now in the pictures. Plus, a yellow thing. I do see construction workers around the area every now and then. Anyone know what is going on? Perhaps setting up kiosk s for DTD opening? Oh, and the submarine view, is that a banner or sheet hanging up, blocking the view of people walking by in front of the Matterhorn?
It would be awesome if Disney would stream from inside the parks. They could put it on Disney+.

Do you have a link to that mattercam? I would love to look! Thanks.

Our district in OC was supposed to begin Year Round schedule (we havea few schools on that calendar here) on July 15. However, they have not yet gotten guidance from the County on the reopening of schools, so they pushed it back to Aug 20. In line with the traditional calendar. They are hoping to get guidance soon because apparently, 70% of the Year Round schedule parents surveyed want in school, traditional model instruction for next year. They mentioned that all districts must submit plans that show compliance with County guidelines but that since those have not been established yet, they cannot move forward with a July start.

Go to You Tube and check out the channel MedCram. Find the series of videos called Coronavirus Updates. They are numbered. Start at 1 and watch them all the way through. Most are about 15 min or less. These are the most informative, unbiased source of information I've seen so far. You will learn a LOT. The doctor who does these videos is brilliant and well spoken and breaks complicated scientific and medical things down in a way that is easy for layman to understand.

These videos have kept me sane when the coverage becomes too confusing and polarizing. Hope they help you too.

Go to hojo anaheim and then webcam and you will see it

My posts were hella confusing- but I was just trying to shed light on the issues/ questions that are prevalent during this time and further exacerbating the rise in cases and insouciance. Which is why DLR can’t open soon. I said I was “confused” (really using that term loosely and colloquially) about why CM’s would demand access to constant testing through work in order for them to go back to work when that’s clearly not feasible any time soon. I went straight into presenting the questions that many have and that is what made it confusing. I crammed too different topics into the same post-poorly- and that was my bad Either way, I am hoping we can all get on the same page about this virus and how to protect ourselves so that we can learn to live with it the best way can and safely get DLR open again. Sorry for not being concise, guys

 

[mouschievous]

@ycsteves , it's a confusing time with lots of conflicting and misinformation in the world, as well as people who just want to ignore/avoid/deny because they don't want things to be true. I know I have conflicting feelings about how we should be handling the virus, and it changes daily - sometimes hourly! It's just such a roller coaster ride - and not the kind I want to be on

Tomorrow Gavin Newsom will announce a step back in the progress of the stay at home order in certain counties. OC is on the watch list, I wouldn't be surprised if OC is going to be back on a stay at home order.

NOOOOOO that means LA will probably be put on some sort of order

 

[Snap Crackle Pop]

Honestly I am not surprised that they aren't already, or they should be to be honest. As should OC.
The beaches are going to be closed in LA for the fourth of july, so I really hope that OC and Venture closes the beaches. We know that people will flock to whatever beaches are open.

 

[disneychrista]

Didn’t they already have to close bars?

Honestly I think he needs to step the entire state back to stage 2.

Do you have a news source for this? I'm wondering if this is just going to repeat the things that we already know.

He said it during his interview, that tomorrow there is going to be new announcements regarding this weekend and stages in certain counties.

This just talks about his most recent quotes and adding OC to the watchlist. I have a feeling he’s gonna roll everything back. As he probably should based on the cases there. Stay safe everyone!

ETA: here’s another article about the announcement but all it says is “ He also announced that he will be making announcements on Wednesday regarding "enforcement: and other possible rollbacks of recent reopenings and easing of health orders.”

Ok...so nothing really new. I guess we'll have to wait and see what he says tomorrow.
