When will COVID safety measures be lifted?

[LizzyBear]

No-one knows unfortunately. There is a risk of restrictions until at least September 2021 as Disney have the park pass system in place until then.

Who knows with disney at the mo!





deaths in the uk are below a 5 year average. (including covid 19 deaths) so maybe somebody is lying to us?

What I don't understand is although the 'cases' rate is high in Florida the actual daily death rate seems low. Is it because in Florida they are doing lot more tests than we did in the UK therefore creating more data and therefore the cases look a lot higher? If the UK did the same level of testing as in Florida I bet we would have seen a whole load more cases here rather than the numbers the media or government choose to release to us

I think it is because it is hitting a younger demographic where mortality is lower.

The rate is so high as the same people testing positive get re tested every day till clear. That is why the deficit is so high.

Could the same be said here but our younger demographic weren't being tested?
I assume in the USA they are paying for their tests to be done due to no NHS etc?

Indeed. Could be.

You are still going to get the same death rate whether you test or not.
I read an article last week, in the Guardian I think it was, that said Florida officials were altering the death rate figures to a lower number.
I wouldn’t go to Florida this year if you paid me!

Here’s the article I was talking about above. The person working for Public Health Florida was fired by the Governor as she refused to change the data.

I don’t see masks or social distancing going away anytime soon. Much depends on things that no one really knows the answer to yet. When will an effective vaccine be found and rolled out to the public? When will COVID-19 infection numbers start to decline in Florida? Will there be a second wave of infection?
No one can say with any certainty yet.
I wouldn’t bet on normality at Disney at least through the first half of 2021.
But I hope things get better much sooner.
