    Over twice as many new cases in Florida yesterday as in the whole of the European Union
    That crazy, they have a lot of old retired people too so should be an increase in deaths in the coming months, I suppose the climate is going to help them though with Winters like our summer/Autumn.

    Why is the climate going to help them.... or were you being ironic?

    The virus spreads less easily in warmer climates, colder Winters will be worse for the continued spread of the virus.

    We are sure to have a big spike this Winter.

    Just like any flu really tends to be more prolific in the winter

    How does this explain spikes in the southern states of the USA? Texas etc...

    It's possible the OP might help. Florida has a Governor who was one of Trump's major cheerleaders in Congress before he was elected. He shut things down half heartedly and opened them up ahead of most other states. The OP in this thread was meant to triumph that move. Hasn't quite worked out that way and the citizens of Florida are the unfortunate recipients of those political decisions.Might be food for thought for those who criticise cautious politicians closer to home I guess.

    That doesn't explain why warm countries like Singapore and Iran were amongst the first to be affected outside China.

    I think people initially assumed it would act like a flu virus, but we've since seen that it doesn't.

    I agree with that, the current figures for several American states also show that the virus can prosper in warm weather.

    Wasn't it due to Chinese workers?

    What do you mean? The virus survives at higher temperatures in Chinese workers than other people?

    I think the OP has got his answer, quite emphatically.

    Well today Walt disney world opened to the public for the 1st time, very limited numbers, myself and my youngest are watching a Disney Vlogger at opening day, for people who have been Magic kingdom is empty, very similar to when the park open in the morning, they have marked 6ft on the ground and where not possible they have put up perspex screens, face masks must be worn
    looks like they will get all the rides done in a few hours, thats is how low the numbers are, it looks like it is working well enough

    I am sure we will see occasions where people gather, but that will be the same anywhere

    Glad I’m saving it for next year. Might be good that it’s empty mind and ironically in the current times, not much queuing!
    Love all the extra bits like the character dining, shows, fireworks and special treatment, that’s was takes it to the next level for the kids.

    the 2 i watched today got all the rides ( apart from tomorrowland peoplemover that was down due to tech issues ) done inside 4 hours

    the longest line was 7 dwarfs mine train at 40 mins ( which would have normally been 2 hours plus )

    got to agree with you about the extra's, it what makes disney special , take away that and it just becomes a theme park, it was funny today seeing the ugly step sisters singing from cinderella's castle balcony ( a rare sight indeed ) so they are trying something slightly different

    Ive just booked a room for next year ( well for part of it ) holding out to see what the disney cruises are doing, big holiday next year, my 50th and WDW's 50th, so might aswell go for it big time

    Though seeing the vlog today, i am pushing for Oct for a cheeky week ( or 10 days ) it looked just as safe as a trip to the garden centre
    my mrs asked me would i have gone today, i said if we lived within a 5 hour drive i would have, it looked as safe as they were going to get it

    Does the queueing not ruin it a bit though? It's never been somewhere that's appealed to me at all tbh but my partner really wants to go so I had a proper look and I can see how it would be fun, especially with the new Star Wars bit. But the thought of queueing for over an hour, doing a ride, then another 2hr queue makes me want to scream. Or am I missing some Disney cleverness?

    They do fast pass's which let you get on the ride quicker ( normally under 20 mins ) , you get 3 per day, so use them well on the bigger rides and you have the main 3 done without massive waits

    we have a max wait time of 60 mins for a big main attraction ride and 45 mins for anything else, if its above that, we miss it

    with clever use of fast pass's and getting to the parks at opening its very easy to get the rides done without silly wait times, we can do MK in 1 day this way

    the newest ride ( in Batuu, the new star wars bit ) has a virtual line, so you get in the park, get on the app and book a ride slot, this means no more than a 45 min wait, the wait line for rise of the resistance is interactive anyway, so maybe this shows the way WDW are heading, of course WDW are experts in milking that last dollar, so many think the virtual line is coming to most rides, 3 free and maybe pay for the rest, more money for WDW

    Of course all of this was before Covid19 ( they are not doing FP's during these times as the wait times should be low due to park entry )

    Fast passes are a must. When we did avatar 18 months ago the queues were 3 to 4 hours long, took us 10/15 mins which was about the longest we had. Did a few of them more than once, like the mine train as you can renew your fast passes during the day.

    The 22 million people of Florida recorded a one day record of over 15k new cases today, more than the 750 million people of Europe and the bits of Russia in Asia combined.

    Surely even the dumbest of Americans must realise there's a problem.

    indeed, Avatar flight of passage is a must, 4 hour plus lines are the norm
    its a great ride, very well done and very technical, though Rise of the resistance is by all accounts pushing it to the next level i had even booked savi's lightsaber workshop and the Droid building experiences ( i needed to book them in the first few minutes at 180 days out ) , my youngest who is a star wars nut, saved up for the past 2 years, the lightsaber is $200 and $100 for the droid, she is gutted we are not going
