just posting the most recent news, that's all.In america Covid-19 shuts down YOU!
Florida government announced they will not shut down the beaches.
As we watch the kids all partying on the beaches... sort of makes the rest of the lockdown look useless...Florida government announced they will not shut down the beaches.
EDIT: This might be doom and gloom of me, but I think we need to consider the possibility that the way we experience theme parks currently might go away forever. They will reopen and everything will be fine, but idk . . . it will be hard to get things back on track after this drastic of a pivot.

Mall by my house looks packed this week. Kids out of school and nothing for families to do, wander the mall.I actually don't think it's totally fair to blame the people on the beach. There's a lot of just general distrust in government anyway and then to hear mixed messages over what the procedures are (and it's been a few weeks of this) can be confusing to people to the point where they stop listening.
I think leaving the beaches open only further hurts because with very little else to do in Florida right now, school out and both the CDC and the Federal government recomending against gathering of anymore than 50 people (or 10 in Trump's recommendation), it's more mixed messaging on why the beaches are left open when everything else is closed. People may think they're safe because of that, which is the danger of leaving them open.
It's not that way for Oviedo Mall. They've cut hours by about 25% since it's so slow. I'm hearing the cafeteria is closing soon if it hasn't already. My girlfriend manages a store there and one of the harder things we've had to do so far is figure out how to reduce the hourly workers hours in a fair way (it's hard because people need the money).Mall by my house looks packed this week.

My mall has reduced hours too, and several stores are closed, but man if it wasn’t packed like a holiday the other day.It's not that way for Oviedo Mall.

Also heard about a restaurant over at Disney Springs closing and how the manager had a tough time (I believe they said "about to cry") telling the employees they weren't getting paid. Sounded like the manager fought with the owner to try to make that happen but lost.
Saw this on Twitter. Reads to me like these parks definitely know they will not be opening April 1
They've already started taking down Mardi Gras stuff when you look at bio's aerials (Mardi Gras scheduled to go until April 2nd), so beyond everything else going on in the world, that's a pretty easy giveaway right there.
I mean yeah, they could just cancel those days of the event. But these parks will be lucky to open by June, never mind April.Even if they do open on April 1st, they'd only have 2 days left of Madri Gras and if they have the staff to take it down at a more leisurely pace and in the safety of the day time, it make sense to take it down now.
Hasn't Universal said Mardi Gras is done now that the remaining concerts aren't being rescheduled?They've already started taking down Mardi Gras stuff when you look at bio's aerials (Mardi Gras scheduled to go until April 2nd), so beyond everything else going on in the world, that's a pretty easy giveaway right there.
Yea they stated when they announced the closures through the end of the month that Mardi Gras was done.Hasn't Universal said Mardi Gras is done now that the remaining concerts aren't being rescheduled?
