While its good to hear USH open to letting people go into the park. I still stand by it's not really enough for another 9+ months. Thousand are going to lose jobs this will lead to more people not being able to afford housing and hundreds of business that are out of luck.
If USH/Disney reads the forums know that I will support pretty much any event as long as its safe and make time to come as many times as i can do make these sell out and get people back to work.
haha I can't promise that at least with disneyland. I would like off seasons again but Universal to me is pretty much perfect with its crowds, sure summer days are busy but you can get in early and get a lot done still.If/when we get out of this crisis I do not want to hear another single solitary WORD about how awful large crowds and long wait times are, with all the livelihoods that depend on them.
The parks (at least Disney's Parks) have been working up to 25%, which I dont believe they've actually hit yet.I will say that while I haven't been there personally, all the Orlando parks (which, as I understand it, are still operating at 25%, right?) sometimes look super crowded.
And with the voracious local crowd, you can bet that once most parks (particularly Disneyland) eventually reopen, you can be it'll hit that max daily for a long while.
Guess how many people died in LA County on Oct 19 from Covid, the most populous county in America?
ONE.
Not millions billions of people. Just ONE person died from Covid on Oct 19th in ALL of LA County. So why do theme parks have to stay shut down again? It’s TIME.

Fewer people everyday are complying with mask wearing and distancing in California. I see it all the time. In theory, things should get worse, right?"Mitigation efforts are working! Time to stop doing them!"
Anecdotal evidence is not evidence of a larger trendFewer people everyday are complying with mask wearing and distancing in California. I see it all the time. In theory, things should get worse, right?

Also, looks like California's cautious approach is paying dividends
California has escaped the national surge in coronavirus cases. But new dangers lie ahead
Experts warn of pandemic fatigue and complacency with the approaching holidays, which have the potential to be super-spreading events.www.latimes.com
How many times does this same bland argument have to be made lmao?How many people die everyday from car accidents? Falls? Heart attacks? Cancer? Other diseases? Y’all realize more things out there can kill you besides Covid, right?
This approach isn’t sustainable.

Not millions billions of people. Just ONE person died from Covid on Oct 19th in ALL of LA County. “But muh cases! There are so many cases!!!!” Bro, the death count from Covid was freakin’ ONE on Monday! How many people die from car accidents every day in LA County, let alone, are in car accidents in LA County everyday? We gonna stop driving till we have zero accidents? So why do theme parks have to stay shut down again? It’s TIME.
Simply to provide some context, the 2017-2019 average yearly deaths from motor vehicle accidents in LA County is 836.7 (for some other numbers, 2.5K from accidental injuries and 852 from suicide). I touched on this earlier in the thread, but in general as a society we have seemingly determined that we are willing to deal with 837 motor vehicle fatalities a year in that county in exchange for the benefits it provides (if it were, say, 83,700 fatalities, we'd certainly start getting "ban the automobile!" protests). I certainly don't know, nor does anyone really agree, what that threshold should be for theme parks. Is it one? Is it one hundred? Do we save 432 deaths by closing the parks forever but also increase suicides by 232?
These are incredibly hard, complex decisions that have no easy answer.
