Anyone got COVID after returning home from Disney Parks Or Universal?????

[charmed59]

There is a website, covid19florida.mystrikingly.com that someone pulls the info from the Florida state databases and graphs them in various ways. For instance, you can pull up a graph for non-Florida residents testing -positive in Orange and Osceola counties. That graph shows cases spiking, up to about 20 a day. That could be from the requirement of some states that you test before heading home, so those positives were always there, just not notice at least until they got home.

Given the number of folks testing before they head home, I’m wondering what the plan is if it does come back positive before they get on their flight.

I know of at least 2 CMs who have tested positive. One is one of my sister’s friends and he was admitted to hospital last night; she is very worried about him. This friend’s “housemate” (they used to be romantically involved and have a child together) had a coworker test positive recently. Disney at least is requiring close contacts not to work.

We've been home for a week now after a 12 night stay.
We dined in restaurants (they were all very well spaced in the tables).
We did splurge and fly first class, so that was all good.
Neither of us are sick at all and get to see our family Monday
And.....it was so nice being back, but I sure missed fast pass!

You can’t accurately say you got it at Disney or Universal- you could have gotten from someone on a plan, been in contact unknowingly prior to at a store, in the airport, etc.

4 trips this year to Orlando, most to WDW. Flew in and out shoulder to shoulder with strangers. Ate indoors half the time. None of us got sick.

That’s sad, but not surprising I guess. Seems crazy to think WDW would be immune when every other part of the country is inundated with cases.

The guests behaviors are restricted there now though.

Pretty much all of the people I know who got it was through their job (courthouse/police) and passed it to their family, or they went to some multi-family party with others that they don't live with and one person who was there ended up being unknowingly positive and a bunch of them were sick a week later...or college students.

I'll just say that in my multiple trips (Pre-Covid) to WDW, I would usually, if not sick by the end of the trip, be sick within a day or two of us leaving. Half the time progressing into bronchitis.

I know two people who were in Magic Kingdom Tuesday. One tested positive Thursday. It’s more common than you think.

And, now there this: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/18/uni...er-passenger-death-possibly-due-to-covid.html

Apparently he and his wife went to WDW, then got on a plane back to LA (after getting a positive COVID result).

At the time it was reported the man had a heart attack on the plane, so no one on the plane was told anything about being exposed, or quarantining, or being tested.

Was at WDW Nov 28 to Dec 6, no issues. A friend and her husband were there at the beginning of Nov and unfortunately, he caught Covid and passed away. She is hesitant to say he picked it up at Disney. She seems to think he may have gotten it at the airport or at work. I don't know where he got it but I feel awful that he is gone.

Nowhere in that article does it say the man had corona. It says he died of a heart attack.

It's reported by passengers on the flight that the man's wife said he was having COVID symptoms. And the passengers onboard also reported he seemed to be having symptoms.

If people were Tweeting about it must be true.

Confirmed today - the man on the United flight died of COVID-19 and acute respiratory failure:

Moral of the story. U can test negative and still have covid

More like, if you have symptoms but don't get tested, you can check a box saying you don't have Covid and you hope no one holds it against you when you endanger a couple hundred other people. Not even including people he was around in the days leading up to his death.

 

[Clt_jojo]

Amazing he tested negative twice????? How does that happen???

 

[mi*vida*loca]

Amazing he tested negative twice????? How does that happen???

Are you referring to the EMT? He may not have covid. There’s other things still going around. We’ve had plenty of people Who have been really sick, some I swore would be positive for covid, who test negative.

Rapid tests aren't terribly accurate, you need to be riddled with Covid to test positive.

From the article, it wasn't the guy who died who tested negative. It was another passenger who performed CPR on him and has been experiencing mild covid symptoms since the flight.

 

[TLSnell1981]

This man was exhibiting symptoms but checked a box stating otherwise.

Amazing he tested negative twice????? How does that happen???

It was reported that he planned to get tested AFTER his flight. The EMT has tested negative...twice.

I think UA has some culpability. They boot a two year old off a plane over a mask but allow this man to board? Messed up situation.

A coworker recently returned from WDW and a couple of people in her family tested positive after returning.

My husband and I are both educators. My husband contracted covid in our school office along with 7 other people who work in our office. We went to another county to get tested because it was easy and available. Our two positive cases count in our county not the county we tested in. They passed our info to our county because we live there.

Are you seeing it in school students? Hope your husband is doing ok and recovering without prolonged symptoms.
