GRAND OPENING - GRAND CLOSING (Florida)

[cakebaker]

But positive rates are down so its all over right? That's what they seem to think in the rumour thread!

They’re militant about not even wanting to hear about what’s happening. Near record deaths, near record cases, hospitalizations at record highs, one county with 1/3 of the people being tested being positive and everything’s just fine because of a 1 day drop in pop’s overall. And even that number is horrid, just not as horrid as the day before.

Unbelievable.

 

[cakebaker]

I'm curious. Maybe I'll go over there and ask them what color the sky is in their world.

They don’t know. You can’t see it for the pixie dust.

Florida is not known to be reporting their statistics is any sort of truthful manner. Who the hell actual knows, other than the room in the ICU/hospital reports.

I was glad to see this in the paper. I think too many believe if it was truly bad they would let us know.

Unbelievable.

The 33% claim is bogus. Sleazy Miami politician.

‘Inviting Disaster’: Disney World Reopening Inspires Worry From Health Experts, Optimism From Some Workers

 

[SaintsManiac]

Maybe Disney can have costumed characters enforce the mask rule. Who wants their picture on Instagram of Mickey Mouse or Captain Hook telling you to put on a mask?

No because then you’d have people taking them off just to make that happen.

Miami House Parties

 

[cakebaker]

That report is WAY off, according to the Florida Department of Health statistics quoted in the news story I posted above. Both our mayor and CNN tend to be hysterics on this issue, so I'd take their "news" with a grain of salt.

The situation is still bad, but not that bad.

Every news outlet, local and national are giving the same number. Fl does a really good job of making you hunt for official numbers drilled down to county information. But this site, https://www.miamidade.gov/information/library/2020-07-05-new-normal-dashboard.pdf was showing over 25% a few days ago.

The people not wearing masks in Costco don't seem to be doing that.

Indeed. But its just the flu, right? Whatever, its just a hoax anyway.

 

[anthony2k7]

That's false. You're relying on the BS of one woman who was fired because of her criminal behavior outside of the workplace.

Actually fired twice -- once by LSU, and the second time by the State of Florida.

But isnt it true FL did withhold some figures for a while, and hospitalization numbers for a long time?

Good luck. You might wanna sit down before you read their responses.

I'm here for a break from there...

I know. They have their own little disney bubble going on over there. Very worrying how so many people can think like that.

Its spreading fast in many areas, just some are further along than others.

Responding to statement today by Dr. Fauci that Florida opened too soon, the governor says: 'There was no justification to not move forward"

They've basically written off everything Fauci has said.

That's a provably false statement (not that it matters as most people don't seem to care). Florida did not meet the criteria to move forward, and yet they did so anyway. And now, Disney is blindly following suit and opening up at the worst possible time. Well, the worst possible time, so far. It's going to get worse.

Too bad that's not the actual definition.
Merriam Webster:
As I said, are you going to a theme park because you're concerned about the workers?

Lol. Seriously, just stop. You’re trying to justify going to WDW during a pandemic that is seeing cases rising alarmingly in its state to a normal vacation. You’re reaching and everyone knows it. There might be other reasons you could come up with to justify it, but this is just not going to be a win for you.

Disney has their eyes wide open.

Disney has their eyes wide open.

If that were the case, they wouldn't be doing indoor dining, which we know is a primary method of transmission.
