Florida Governor is ready to reopen Disney World

can't.

He's Goofy.

This should be one of the last places to open. I wonder how many idiots would take their kids there?

YES! Offer discounts to Repigs!! Do it!

He can say open it, but only the most deplorable of the deplorables will go. I suspect Disney will end up deciding when to open, not this idiot, anyway.

They don't realise what's hapenning,do they ?

How he is going to manage that when all the green card holders can't work for the next 60 days is a question.

I say let them open and let all the dumbasses learn the hard way this disease is real.

Can't the dumbasses' estates sue Disney for years if they die, and the survivors if they suffer permanent lung damage, other damage? The insurance companies will never allow this, surely, unless the great state of Florida is underwriting those insurance companies now. It does underwrite Citizens, but that're only into hurricanes, so far.

I'm in Central Florida (transplant) and this idiot can't even put a mask on correctly.

He and the feral orange hog (I stole this from another DL poster) stroke each other daily during their briefings.

No. Just fucking NO. Bad idea.

JUST NO NO NO.

No one will go.

Way too soon! Keep the kids safe. Be patient - it's not time yet.

- a Canadian.

r12

Unfortunately, deplorables here in FL will go.

Yes, yes, open it right now!

I don't know how much longer I can keep fighting off these horny dwarfs!

Well the kids are mostly carriers not victims of this. They all join up at Disney, lots of hotels, lots of rental cars, lots of flights, lots of airports, lots of staff and officials, then back to school: Disney alone will create a herd mentality, aka a hecatomb, all via Disney; such a nice way to go.

With all the dead, the health insurance should be cheaper next season. Regrettably, insurance costs never, evah go down.

Can anyone explain how the hell a theme park is 'ahead of the curve' in terms of the virus? I don't understand his statement.

D-world is basically a petri dish too large to be cleaned.

the alligators have taken over.

R7-- What are you blabbing about? Green Card holders are perm residents and can work for anyone they choose.

Corona gator world

A dim bulb guiding the lemmings off a cliff.

Visit Casket World in the Corona Kingdom!

Be sure to visit:

Sleepy beauty's castle

fun for the kids

Don't they have something like 40,000 employees? Maybe the point is IF he can convince them to open parts of the park(s) then those people won't be allowed to file unemployment...which lets everybody off the hook.

But, I agree. Who will go? Can the base afford $100/per person a day? And would it be worth it to open on a small scale if they can't get volume?

Third thought: maybe this is a guilt trip. I thought I read in the other Disney thread that they were even considering closing DisneyWorld.

Next stop - Magic Coronavirus Mountain - thrill as you ride the ups and downs of Coronavirus infections! And just when you think the ride is over - it starts ALL OVER AGAIN!

Fun for the whole family the first time - then fun for whatever family you have left the second time.

He's such a fucking Trump ass licker. But Flori-duh deplorables thought this clown was governor material, so fuck 'em.

It’s a small world after all

It’s a small world after all

It’s a small world after all

In two weeks, you’ll die

orphan world

He's desperate because 43,000 Disney employees just applied for Florida unemployment assistance. And Florida's unemployment support system is fucked up beyond help. That makes for a lot of pissed off people living in Central Florida who can easily blame him for all the problems they are facing.

So it's not safe for kids to go back to school but they can go to Disney. Got it.

The Villages retirees will show up in droves to support whatever asinine decisions he makes.

Be sure to go to the Haunted Mansion, to die. Because this is what is going to happen. Then, you can haunt others.

Disney is stingy as hell. Laid off 78,000 employees and placed them in unpaid furlough to save 500 million. Disney is worth far more. If you think they are going to risk health related lawsuits for the sake of the governor, I want to share what you're smoking.

I don't get why this is a bad thing. Florida wasn't one of the hardest hit places. Plus heat and sunlight kills this thing; its 90 degrees right now in Florida. This thing will die as the summer heats up. Life must go on. We must persevere or the greatest civilization in the world will crumble.

OPEN IT NOWWWWWWW!!!

This, R35. And I believe OP's link says the president of Disney parks is on the (hack)taskforce on re-opening...

Paying money to die.

Once the other goofy state, Georgia, opens up its restaurants, movie theaters, gyms and bars, northerners driving south to Disney World can pick up all the extra Coronavirus produced there and dump it off in Orlando.

"He's Goofy"

NO! NO! HE CAN'T BE!

I VOTED FOR MY RAPIST? THIS IS GOING TO BE VERY HARD FOR ME TO HANDLE. I WANT TO FORGET BUT ALL I CAN THINK OF IS HIS HOT BREATH AND HIS 'HYUH HYUH HUYH" AS HE PULLED DOWN MY PANTS AND RAPED ME REPEATEDLY. BEFORE I PASSED I THOUGHT, "GOOFY, DOES' MICKEY KNOW YOU ARE A FIEND?"

Looking at Disney's stock price, you'd think the place is already open! So why not just keep it closed?

So he's going to be there on opening day? In the crowd shaking hands?

[quote] This should be one of the last places to open. I wonder how many idiots would take their kids there?

I don't know, but a lot of people have $1,200 burning a hole in their pocket

We have a $1200 phone available! Stop by on your way to the food lines!

Maybe they will have attendees sign something that doesn’t hold them liable if they get the virus there?

Disney lawyers will make that call. They aren’t going to want a lawsuit from every dumbass who goes.

It's unfair to the employees to force them to be exposed to the virus.

It's a Small World After All!

r26 100! Try 200 for a park hopper (multiple parks in one day).

1.5 million people have applied for unemployment in Florida; 46k have been approved. Florida is going get hammered economically.

I filed for unemployment when I left Disney in 2015, they fought it every step of the way. A judge finally approved it, but by then I had another job. Hear me when I say this: Disney Inc. is EVIL. They rely on prayer that nothing bad happens. They don't care dick about any of their employees.

I have a trip planned for June, so the sooner the better.

r27, take Grammie and Pop-Pop!

When all this is over Disney will have a new ride through the catacombs.

Aren't most of DW's visitors foreign tourist anyway?

How the fuck are they gonna get to Florida?

r55, their yachts can pull up to Mort-a-lago.

I’m a pass holder, and I plan on skipping the parks for good long while.

[quote]I don't get why this is a bad thing. Florida wasn't one of the hardest hit places.

It will be once Disney opens. They make their money off non-residents of Florida.

Visit disboards.com - plenty of posters over there are worried that the Disney parks won't reopen until 2021 and there are annual pass holders to Disney World and Disneyland who are going through withdrawals.

People are so incredibly spoiled. Can you imagine what it would be like if people had to go through what our parents/grandparents/great-grandparents did in the Depression and WWII?

Your cadaverous pallor betrays an aura of foreboding.

Most of you want the country to burn in shambles. Sad. We shall not become Cuba.

r64 People in Cuba enjoy one of the best healthcare systems in the world—free at point of service to all citizens. Cuba produces some of the best medical doctors in the world.

The assassinations are slated for sweeps week, right?

When are those again - May? June?

...almost as though you sense a disquieting metamorphosis.

r64, Cuba, with a population of 11.3 million people, currently has 1,137 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 38 deaths.

r65, That is a lie. That is a fkin lie. They produce some of the best doctors in the world, but health care for the average citizen sucks.

What is the rush to open the theme parks? Isn't it more important to open other things. I need a haircut so bad. I could care less if Disney goes broke, they won't. Open the retail stores, so we won't keep making Jeff Bezos richer.

[quote]If you think they are going to risk health related lawsuits for the sake of the governor, I want to share what you're smoking.

Exactly. Are some people not understanding that it doesn't matter what these rube governors *want* to do, the onus will be on the businesses if people end up getting sick, so why would they risk it? The movie theater chains in GA already told the governor to fuck off because they're not opening until summer at the earliest.

As someone pointed upthread, there is one reason, and one reason only for this fuckery. Florida doesn’t want to pay out unemployment insurance.

[quote]Open the retail stores, so we won't keep making Jeff Bezos richer.

You know you have other online options than Amazon, right?

It's not like he's forcing anyone to go there.

Savage AF!

If they reopen Disney and only a small percentage show up, they will likely lose money. I'm sure that is a big part of their consideration. Recent polls have shown that over 70% of Americans think it's too soon to open big venues like this.

What will these dipshit southern governors do? If Disney doesn't want to open now, will they call out the National Guard and force them to open their doors under threat of death or imprisonment???

Another factor to consider is that it is hard to get a refund on things just because you didn't feel safe going. This may or may not apply so much to a massive operation like Disney, but certainly to gyms. I personally wouldn't feel safe going to Crunch right now and I'm glad they are not charging me. But, I wager, anyone in Florida with a membership to Equinox will be getting charged for May next week.

"What is the rush to open the theme parks?"

It's a five letter word spelled M-O-N-E-Y.

Florida residents pay no state income tax because of the money tourists spend at Disney World, Universal, LegoLand, as well as the related hotels, restaurants, toll roads and car rentals. If there are no tourists, there are no tax revenues for scumbags like Scott and the current governor to misappropriate into their own pockets.

There is a big legal hurdle that has to be cleared as well, not just for Disney, but any large venue operator. None of them can be sued by someone claiming they got Coronavirus while visiting their establishments, whether it's movie theaters, sporting events, or amusement parks. Without that settled, none of these can open up again for the public. They would be sued out of business promptly. In a case like Disney, especially, they would also need legal protection from their employees.

This Florida governor?

Just think of this as another way of turning a red state blue.

It sounded like trump turned on Kenp (Georgia governor). You know how the media controls his addiction. It will be interesting to see what happens next week when eatery's open.

But the Florida case will be interesting. What happens when the lockdown is lifted and business's don't re open? Can the state deny unemployment to the workers? Can they make the business pay for it? Will the 600 unemployment stimulus dissapear? My guess is that the employees will get nothing.

Strange days

Do it, do it, do it, do it & kill all the stupids & their spawn.

Looks like detective Bill Otley from Prime Suspect standing behind DeSantis

r82, Thats not how pandemics works. For all you doomsday, socialists that don't want things to get better, if your scenarios are true it won't just affect those "dumb deplorables who go out in public". Anyways I think the southeast states should open back up. We must go on. The warm is here now and they can maintain without being in complete lockdown like the northeast, the heart of the pandemic.

My comment is for r83, not r82.

If you are concerned about infections stay home. Simple. It’s like crossing the street. Use the crosswalk. And a green light. You take a chance no matter what. It’s a personal choice. If people stay home then Disney makes less money.

[quote] A secret underground food delivery network made up of people who are COVID positive but asymptomatic hired for targeted bio-assassinations, who cough and spit over the food and the containers before delivering it

All of the people you mentioned have had convalescent plasma by now. They’ve been collecting it for months & giving it to Trump lovers & billionaires. Now they’re giving it to multimillionaires. You wait your turn.

[quote] Anyways

Nothing you say has any relevance

[quote] If you are concerned about infections stay home. Simple. It’s like crossing the street. Use the crosswalk. And a green light. You take a chance no matter what. It’s a personal choice. If people stay home then Disney makes less money.

Indeed, R87.

But the people out and about at Disney then visit gas stations. And grocers. And banks. And doctors.

We then visit gas stations, grocers, doctors, shop owners, over weeks—->months.

So if the folks working “essential services” are not infected themselves from Disney goers, they could be vectors for those who are careful about social distancing.

Believe it or not, we are interconnected.

It is not as simple, or black and white as “stay home” to avoid exposure.

How could anyone possibly prove where they caught the virus? How could anyone be held liable?

That is what contact tracing is about.

R92 if you think contact tracing is going to be the Panacea for placing blame for virus transmission then there’s a bridge in Brooklyn id like to sell you. There is no way to determine with any degree of certainty where someone acquired the virus. Only probabilities. This “Big Brother” surveillance scheme is just that. A scheme. To supplement the lockdown. And gain more control over your lives. It’s the result of people depending too much in the government -what the socialists want you to do. Pay attention. The leftists are determined to take full advantage of this pandemic to grab more control. They actually admit it. Scary stuff.

[quote] what the socialists want you to do. Pay attention. The leftists are determined to take full advantage of this pandemic to grab more control. They actually admit it. Scary stuff.

What’s scary, is your “politicking”, R93. This isn’t some political scheme as Heir Trump would have YOU believe.

It’s about peoples’ health. A matter of life and death.

Literally.

(If you are so worried about “socialists” and “leftists”, perhaps it would be better for you to return to Russia. Where Heir Trump and Heir Putin have full sway and dictate your preferences.)

R93, like the “leftists” and “socialists” have any control now? You mean Bernie and AOC? You’re such an idiot, unless you’re talking about DUMP and his cohorts. Do you think a 2-trillion bailout package happens in capitalist system? How about all the other shit that’s been passed? How about bailing out banks? There is a LONG list of “socialist” stuff that Dump has passed just recently. So I guess you’re a socialist now. Trumpster?

It's only socialism when it isn't wealthy, greedy fucks getting the "free money."

What's so fucking stupid about these morons who rail against helping the common man is that at least THAT money goes back into the economy. It goes back into circulation. Those assholes at the top take the money and hoard it.

Does anyone have reservations for this year? I do at WDW for this summer.

I hope they've utilized their downtime updating some rides like It's A Smaller World Now.

They'll be lined up at the door as soon as they open. The strollers, crying kids, and 30 year olds that still live with their parents.

I think they are going to stick IP in It's A Small World, like Disneyland.

Let us in. We want to spend money!!!!!

This is what r93 had to say on another thread. I think we can safely say that he's a moron and/or a troll.

[quote]Such wishful thinking. If Democrats are relying on Biden to save them then they’d better think again.

[quote]Anybody who believes a poll taken today especially from CNN which hates Trump, is only fooling themselves. No poll means anything until October.

[quote]Unless Biden asked for a mental evaluation no they would not. Can’t force it on him. If he released them already they are probably fake. Trying too hard to convince you. It’s clear he has dementia. He’s older than Reagan was when he left office. Look at his expression. Nobody at home.

[quote]The last “debate”?? You referring to the one where Biden had all his remarks prepared in advance? It was painfully obvious and expected since it was on CNN-the same phony cheats that admittedly gave Hillary the questions in advance. Biden got pitched marshmallows. It was a pathetic display.

[quote]There is no law requiring Biden to have a competence exam. No doctor can force it. He’s not holding any office. Not employed. He will delay this as long as possible.

[quote]Trump not even campaigning. Dealing with virus. Ever heard of the convention “bump”? By publicizing this now as if he’s nominated Biden is muting that effect. Expect him to falter after the convention. He should stfu and support virus relief efforts. He has lost his mental acuity. Will be destroyed in a debate -if fairly conducted.

I know we have to have trolls, but do they have to be so incompetent, not to mention more than a little stupid?

Trump has never stopped campaigning.

He is an incompetent who cannot do the job he is compelled to run for.

Unsurprisingly, he has never come out of campaign-mode. It is because his version of campaigning is simply activity that masquerades as work. We all know that he is an incredibly lazy person. He doesn’t want to do anything other that sit on his fat ass, watch Faux News, rage-tweet, and eat. He doesn’t read the briefing materials, he doesn’t attend the briefings, and he’s incapable of learning anything. For the last three years he’s flown around the country to blather at the moronic sheep who attend his Nazi-style rallies. But it is not like his remarks constitute well-crafted speeches filled with serious insights and soaring rhetoric. No. They’re inane ramblings of whatever pops into his empty head at that moment, where everything is subject to revision at any point thereafter, including by the time he reaches the end of his sentence. However, the rallies perform an important function to him and his sycophants: they give the appearance of him “doing” something. In reality, of course, they are completely nonessential movement that adds nothing of any substance to the national dialogue.

I cannot wait until this dangerous buffoon is no longer in office.

Disney laid 25,000 workers.

It won't open soon.

[quote]Disney laid 25,000 workers.

Damn. Walt beat Wilt's numbers.

Disney has $12.5 BILLION in cash right now . They're in a position to wait and see rather than listen to Governor Goober.

Blantantly obvious reason for this: Florida's Unemployment Insurance is totally fucked up (it was intentional) so reopening will prevent those 40k employees from obtaining unemployment insurance.

r106

Laid off??? Oh that's different

Never mind

If people flock there on their own will knowing the risk you know what they say “thin the herd”

[quote]I filed for unemployment when I left Disney in 2015, they fought it every step of the way.

Do employers not pay unemployment insurance in Florida? If they already pay yearly, why block anyone from filing? Do employers get it back if nobody uses it?

[quote]If people flock there on their own will knowing the risk you know what they say “thin the herd”

Fine, but they have to stay there, because I don't need them "thinning" my family out of the herd after encountering them in grocery stores and the hospital.

Employers do not want their unemployment insurance rates to go up.

In all but three states unemployment is paid solely by the employer.. In NJ, PA and AL employees also contribute.

Wait—I don't see the signs for "Cytokine Storms" or "Intubation"

So I am an AP holder and Disney Fag. We go two to three times a year. Just from my knowledge of the logistics, the lines, the parks themselves, I don't see how they can do any sort of social distancing. Some ride lines lend themselves to it, some just do not. Pirates, for example, is just a fucking corral. They can't the parades, that is SRO, so are the fireworks. There is no way they can use the monorails - they would have to wipe them down after every stop, empty the trains and then load in - I would say for Disney to open and allow guests they would have to have them all sign a waiver saying they know they might get sick.

Waivers of the Future

r116 Imagine the lines for the big attractions with social distancing, they will be 1/4 mile long, there's no room for them, and those standing in the extended lines would be exposed to the baking sun or frequent rain. Then the CMs have to sanitize every ride vehicle, extending the wait time even more. Until there is a vaccine, it seems like a massive headache.

Will the characters have to wear masks?

"People in Cuba enjoy one of the best healthcare systems in the world—free at point of service to all citizens. Cuba produces some of the best medical doctors in the world.

R65. And Cuba sends off many of these doctors around the world to make money for the Castros. Essentially the doctors are in "indentured servitude" - they work long hours and receive about half of their pay. The rest of the pay goes directly to the Cuban rulers.

And I personally know Cuban doctors who had to perform this servitude, who I met when I worked in Africa.

(R120) Don't forget it's used as propaganda for the Castro regime.

Because Donald Trump and the gold ole USA never, ever engage in propaganda and spreading outright bullshit, right R122?

I wonder how much image damage it would do to have the news reporting a HUGE cluster of infections tied to Disney.

Unlike cruise ships, I guess that Disney believes it's immune to park admissions declines - or at least is stands to make more by reopening than it stands to lose by having a cluster of infections.

Karens of the DL unite and SHUT THIS DOWN!

Let's put it this way" Florida needs Disney a lot more than Disney needs Florida.

Disney World is private property. It will reopen if and only if its legions of lawyers say it's okay to reopen.

The governor (and his puppet master Rick Scott) look like the piss ants they really are when they attempt to bully Disney (and Comcast).

Look mom, it's the 7 Dwarfs! Look at Sneezy!

Communism > Trumpism (a.k.a. Nazism)

It was announced this morning that since Tinkerbell is still connected to a ventilator as a result of The Rona, Florida governor DeSantis will be filling in for her, since they have similar temperments.

probably temperaments too

Let me tell you a story ... I was a manager of an apartment complex and we had this family that was several months behind on their rent. We started eviction proceedings , and a friend of theirs gave them the money to catch up . Instead of paying us,they went to Disney World . So yes,I firmly believe Disney will be packed immediately .

That story would’ve been so much more enjoyable had you started it with

“Picture it...apartment complex, 2008.”

R132 I have a similar story. There was a very poor family with three kids at the school where my mom was a teacher. A bunch of people got together to raise money for them to buy a refrigerator. The family got the money and split for Disneyland, no refrigerator bought.

Ever keeping up with the times, Disney has made a few adjustments since lockdown. Corona DeVille will welcome guests at the main gate. New attractions include 6 Spaces Apart Mountain, It's A Smaller World Now, The Swiss Family Refrigerator Box, The Carousel of Hindrance and The Hall of Presidents - Welcome Andrew Cuomo! Doc and Sneezy have new dwarf friends - Coughy, Fevery, Achey, Chilly and Smellgone

I live in central Florida and something strange is happening this week ... I never thought I would say this, but people don't give a fuck anymore. We have over one million people living here, but we only had 35 deaths from the virus. Our hospitals were not overwhelmed. Yes, if we had not done the lockdown, we would have had more. But this small number of deaths is not enough to keep people interested in following all the rules and regulations.

There was an article in (I think) the NYT called "Florida: Smart or Lucky" about how the state seems to have avoided major outbreaks.

Any truth to the “hot weather theory” I wonder?

R138, Countries in the Southern Hemisphere are having outbreaks now and it's summer there. That said, most of the hotspots are in the northern hemisphere

[quote] Any truth to the “hot weather theory” I wonder?

Florida is pretty blazing hot now, but lots of deaths

Please proceed and please start NASCAR season!

It would be perfectly find with me if everyone who is into Disney died.

[quote] Cuba sends off many of these doctors around the world to make money for the Castros. Essentially the doctors are in "indentured servitude" - they work long hours and receive about half of their pay. The rest of the pay goes directly to the Cuban rulers.

Sounds just like the US. Doctors leave med school with loans of over $200K, much of it from the government. They work at below minimum wage throughout internship and residency. Then, once they get to paying back their loans, with interest, they can pay over $300K

A lot of the first cases were traced to Disney World.

Yep, we're calling it the Mulan Flu

At least he is offering people a choice, unlike Cuomo who is just tossing the innocent and those unable to defend themselves to the wolves.

Huh?

Nothing is going to stop them from giving their wallet to Mickey Mouse. It will be packed as usual.

Disney has four cruise ships. Last year, a German company started building three more at a cost of $1 billion each.

Today, Disney was downgraded by two financial analysts: "The analyst further reduced his earnings forecasts for Disney, explaining: "We do expect Disney to be given a pass from investors on fiscal year 2020 (which ends in September) earnings and to some degree fiscal year 2021 as the impact of the pandemic likely lingers. However, we are also reducing our fiscal year 2022 forecasts to factor in the additional risk and uncertainty about what a new normal will look like across most of Disney's businesses. Looking at those fiscal year 2022 forecasts, the risk-reward is just not that compelling."

[quote]Countries in the Southern Hemisphere are having outbreaks now and it's summer there.

It's not summer there, it's fall. May = November.

I think Florida just got lucky..look at all the people who got sick on spring break and the winter party.

Florida got lucky because all those spring breakers went home and breathed on people in some other state. Not in Florida.

All Disney on-site attractions must close for at least a year. A single superspreader event at one of their mega-amusement parks could spell the death of the entire Brand.

[quote]All Disney on-site attractions must close for at least a year. A single superspreader event at one of their mega-amusement parks could spell the death of the entire Brand.

There are people who actually die in the parks as a direct result of riding an attraction, and yet that hasn't resulted in the death of the brand. Proving that someone was infected in a Disney Park, without the possibility of any other source, will be a difficult case.

Florida did not get lucky. They are not reporting on the numbers of their dead and infected.

R123 R143 Google "whataboutism".

R129 Do you actually believe the standard of living in Cuba is better than in the US? Really?

Yeah, it's not luck .... it's underreporting. The Florida Medical Examiner's office has always provided public information on deaths .... and they have now been stopped from providing the COVID19 numbers. Major newspapers in the state have been reporting that the State death counts are at least 10% lower what what various entities - care centers, assisted living, etc. - are reporting themselves.

Governor Goober is trying to lull the seniors into a sense of calm, while forcing businesses open. What could go wrong?

Let him try. At least, it should be an interesting experiment on virus transmission in a theme park.

I cancelled a trip to WDW for June and rescheduled it for July. I hope it's open by then in some capacity. The experience will be greatly impacted without the entertainment though,

r159 - we were scheduled for end of june over july 4th. Cancelled. United will not refund my money though - just a travel voucher for a year. Gee ..thanks.

Shanghai Disney just reopened this Monday, so Disney can experiment there to see how it goes. I mean, how do you even social distance in a theme park?

Why would u go to Orlando in July?? It is miserable.

That's when kids are out of school (traditionally.)

[quote]we were scheduled for end of june over july 4th. Cancelled.

You're saying that Disney cancelled your trip?

[quote]Why would u go to Orlando in July?? It is miserable.

I've been in August and the heat and humidity were horrible, but not as bad New Orleans was in late August (Southern Decadence).

Even if you just rode the Tilt-a-Whirl inside a plexiglas box, you would still be releasing so many DROPLETS onto everyone else on the ride, and shedding so much virus that the whole thing would be superspreader event.

r167 not my preference but we were meeting friends from England. There is really only one good time to go to Orlando, early Feb, but my friends were going in summer so there you go. Disney did not cancel my trip corona did, my friends cannot travel to the US because they would have to quarantine for 14 days.

Some suggest that Kemp and DeSantis were brilliant leaders through this crisis because rates are going down in their states. They’ve acted recklessly at times but the First Quarter of this pandemic did not go as badly in Georgia and Florida as it could have. Thank God!

We are having people positive for Covid in small communities here and it can be traced back to them protesting at our Capital. Let Darwinism take them but the sad part is they will infect innocent people

Ask China!

Disney should refuse to open, but if it does, it will be interesting to see the women of The View squirm as they try to justify their parent company’s actions. They would no doubt be forced to plug the theme park on air since they spend so much time pushing the brand.

DeSantis be Goofy.

[quote] Let Darwinism take them but the sad part is they will infect innocent people

Yeah, I've stopped caring about the idiots, but I do care about those they'll infect. Nothing I can do about it. Oh well. Good luck, humanity!

Some people are saying, many people that Florida is not reporting COVID as a cause for death. ..

I miss Peter Pan.

Hot

R175 I thought Peter Pan was holding a dildo for a second there.

The only people that would be going to Disney if it opens, or even Disney Springs which will be partially open soon, will be locals. People that live out of state are not going to want to fly on planes yet, or stay in hotels, and I doubt they'll drive.

... And if they're still working they probably can't take vacation right now. And if they're laid off because of this virus they sure as heck aint gonna take a long vacation a Florida.

Disneyland would fare better since it's mostly locals.

Disney World China reopened.

The American parks will probably be the last to reopen. People in the US are too fucking entitled to follow the rules. It has only been doing well so far in Shanghai because rules are not optional. Some asshole will refuse to wear a mask sighting their constitutional rights, blah blah blah and fuck it all up.

So why are people still getting infected and falling ill in places like Singapore, India and Dubai, all of which are incredibly hot at this time of year and with lots of sunlight.

That's already been answered multiple times, that those places have buildings, within which transmission is occurring.

Air Conditioning is not our friend.

So just like everywhere else?

[quote] that those places have buildings,

Oh, well, it’s a good thing we don’t have buildings here then.

And a good thing that nobody in Disney World will be using the bathroom, shopping in the Main Street stores, standing in indoor lines, or eating at the restaurants.

Florida residents predicting that only Florida residents will be allowed entry at first seems like mostly wishful thinking.

Most Florida residents can't afford to go to Disney World, R192, because they work minimum wage tourist jobs, a la Disney and Universal.
