The issue is there is no contact tracing done in Florida, and I highly doubt Disney is going to want to announce if someone who attended WDW got covid it would be bad press and Disney doesn't want to look bad. There must have been something that the task force saw that they did not like which is why they still kept the tight restrictions. With the way FL numbers are, I would not trust how that state is handling things. I feel for the CMs, I know some of them want to work (and some are worried about going back). I hope that some of them were able to find employment.
I totally understand not wanting to post opinions or deliberately inflame people. But I think some posts keep getting deleted that have facts or information that is relevant to the speculation of Disneyland reopening. Like, there were posts in here about vaccine timetables. Those would have direct impact on how quickly the county could reduce in tier, and lead to DL reopening. Can I just ask that before posts get deleted, to consider if they are actually inflammatory or if they are providing information?
It also depends how the task force was instructed. If their job was to look for everything that goes wrong, they will find it. If their task was to have an open mind and see how things could work, they go in with a completely different mentality. And then the report will be different as well.
I'm really concerned for the 20-30,000 unemployed in the area due to this. I'm concerned about the number of small businesses that can't reopen. Drive down Harbor or Katella. There are 3-4 motels open. Everything else is closed. Panera is closed, so is McDonalds, and every other place along the way. Mimi's did reopen last week. But for all the people unemployed, there are no jobs. So many families are employed by Disney or the near by areas. I know families where mom works in the hotel, dad works in the restaurants, and kids were in the theme park. Now they are all unemployed. And unemployment benefits are running out. Add to it, the city of Anaheim has lost over $100 million in tax revenue. Orange county has lost a ton for tax revenue. If the bleeding keeps going, it is going to be difficult to keep paying for essential services.
San Francisco is such a unique county. The majority of people working there, live outside the county. So if they do get SARS-CoV-2, it is reported in another county. It is a very poor choice for comparison.
I'm not sure they can use the Interior of DL and DCA. Knott's can because it is classified a "Marketplace." I think the gates have to stay shut. But they could do something in the parking areas by ESPN zone and Esplanade. OPening Stage 17 was a good move in that direction.
Your posts did have good information, but were quoting and answering a post that had been previously deleted for something else. You can re-post your comment and tie it to DLR's reopening just as you stated in your comment above. That kind of information can help those following who don't live in SoCal and don't understand our admittedly confusing data. But just posting COVID data and metrics without explaining how they apply to the parks reopening doesn't always help those following along. Remember, we have readers from other states and other countries -- and technical data isn't always the easiest to translate for some readers. In future, if a post has good information but quotes a deleted post, I can try to edit out the quote and leave the rest, if that will work for you.
I think for all of us it would probably be best that you edit the posts to remove the information that shouldn't be posted in instead of flat out deleting them since some of these posts had valid and useful information in them that was not breaking board rules.
