Re: Why Hasn't Anyone Talked About-A Possible Cancellation?
Walt Disney Company is easily on par with the NFL as a business
The fact they are opening up in July is a good sign and I’m sure they their data to why is legit. They are not gonna open up without meticulously vetting every risk https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/27/media...rus/index.html Should be interesting to watch, we all should be root for it to be a success...businesses like the NFL will def be seeing how they accommodate tens of thousands of people daily.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/deaths.htm This says almost 3 million Americans die a year on average. I didn't even know it was that many people yearly. It's kind of staggering when you are like me and didn't know the actual statistics at first. Now granted, Coronavirus is adding to that total, but the truth is, if we continue at this pace on virus deaths, then that comes out to being FAR lower yearly deaths than even Cancer and Heart Disease.

Re: Why Hasn't Anyone Talked About-A Possible Cancellation?
Fauci has also said the total might be closer to 60,000 than the predicted 100,000 to 200,00 deaths. That was back in early April. From a science perspective I think we have done a decent job. There was an unknown virus from a country we were positive was with holding information. Data will change as we develop a better understanding of the virus, the guidelines will change as we learn more. Frankly I was okay with shutting things down giving our epidemiologists, doctors etc the best chance to figure out whats going on and slowly open things as we learn more. As of right now we have peer reviewed articles that are showing surface contact and asymptomatic carriers have a lower impact than we knew in March. This will change again in a few months as we learn more. it is not scientists lying it is the scientific process.
For those that don't want to do SCRedskins math: https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality updated on Wednesday To get back to the season. I am excited the NHL is going to have a post season. I think the NFL will be able to learn a lot about player exposure from the Stanley Cup playoffs. |

Their acceptance of the risk includes landing at least the majority of it in the laps of patrons. Which is the way the world should work, honestly. But to characterize it as risk-free or well-vetted is a little cavalier. Like everybody, they're weighing the risks of opening vs the risks of not opening. They are determining that the risk to their financial health is greater than the risks of opening. But that doesn't mean all is clear. Take part at your own risk, and the risk is still considerable. The NFL stadiums will face similar questions. And with most of the money coming from TV revenues I don't think they face the same downside as WDW does by staying closed. The NFL could still make a ton of money by playing in empty stadiums, with little of the risk to go along with it.

Can't imagine going somewhere like Disney anytime soon. That park is covered in filth when you think about it. Snot nosed kids with their hands everywhere.

Re: Why Hasn't Anyone Talked About-A Possible Cancellation?
I absolutely adore the place but agree, not a good idea. For me to go anywhere where I'm likely to walk past 1000 people or more per day in close proximity? Gonna take a long time until I'm comfortable with that again.

I am sure that he would be happy too that he will not see the 1 million deaths that he originally predicted. And he is also the first one to point out that when the virus first emerged, we had no better way of learning about it / minimizing the damage, other than locking down everywhere until we could get a plan together. And now he says that obviously long-term lockdowns is a poor strategy. But to be fair to him, they knew no better way at the time.

Re: Why Hasn't Anyone Talked About-A Possible Cancellation?
Science isn't about being "right". If you're keeping score on Fauci you're looking at things the wrong way. The more we learn about the virus the more things change. It's a constantly moving target.

Re: Why Hasn't Anyone Talked About-A Possible Cancellation?
Im totally confused as to where "Fauci predicted 1 million deaths" is coming from.
CDC worst case scenario projection, if we did absolutely nothing, was 1.7 million dead. Fauci himself predicted 100k to 200k deaths, millions of cases. -------------- Are you all confusing Fauci with the CDC (worst case) projection or Confusing Fauci saying there will be millions of cases with fauci saying there will be a million deaths? ----------------------------- Perhaps im confused and missed Fauci saying there will be a million deaths, even if we mitigate. Because I have not seen that. Can anyone provide a link where Fauci says he predicts 1 million deaths ... and not when he is being asked about CDC's worst case, "if we do nothing" projection?

But now going back and re-reading some stuff he has said, perhaps i have confused his million deaths over him stating there would be millions of cases. I could have almost swore i heard at one of the briefings him say that it would be one million deaths, although i really think he was talking about from the time we first realized the virus, to when it was effectively "over" with the advent of therapies and a vaccine....
