    Not theme parks as much as letting people in! I said this wks ago no one listens to me! I know we want to live again but at what cost???
    Yes people will argue this left to right like heart attacks and cancer can kill you quicker or this is all mental or worse its a hoax but people are dying here too!!!! Yes swine flu and ebola combined were just as bad and never was called a pandemic but thats the pt… we need to watch we can not just think we are in charge of each others lives and whats best! Thats why i like desantis that hes a stickler for rules… we need to do things slowly this isnt a race no one is getting rid of the theme parks! Lets have patience and be safe! Why is it so hard to have common sense and care for your fellow man??? Are you this selfish???

      Yea ok karen, your points mean we should open up faster not slower. When u heffers care about heart disease and go on walks we can talk about people dying

      1. Markus

        Both my parents completely health got sick and died from common cold, my sister was 16 died of cancer and my 1st daughter died in a car accident in vegas…. my 2nd daughter is 4 and needs a breathing machine… i am so grateful your perfectly healthy enough to talk down to others… i know of many whom are heavy set and they are 100% healthy too wo issues! My best friend grandma was overweight and died at 102 naturally in her sleep so take your weird inaccurate statements elsewhere! Your not a dr!

        1. aaron

          look fatty if you mad i can’t help you. i don’t know what cancer and car accidents have to do with opening up stores and parks that should have never closed. All the those people you listed is more of a reason to go out a live instead of hiding and being scared.

    2. Aaron

      you what kills more people than anything…. heart disease. stop smoking and eating and go on walk heffer …. i mean karen.

    3. Harley

      Aaron you know what also kills and hurts… arrogant people whom come to comment spaces to insult people and have no concern for the parks etc. Mental health kills too better be careful bc you have serious issues! As i like to say i love myself my kids and if you do not like it kiss my a** and look in the mirror bc you do not love yourself enough to make fun of others! I bet you think this was a hoax say that to all the people dead!

        Yas queen you tell him!

  2. Mark

    Your off on that # its up to 2,000 saw it on the news and saw desantis is monitoring it so def fingers crossed but again the parks are always going to be there and yes getting sick is part of life and so is dying but i doubt we all wanted to die tomorrow or bc we chanced the parks too soon! As a manager in ent we were suppose to go in soon for rehearsals i hope thats on hold just for safety!

  3. Have people not been watching international news lately? There’s not much chance of the HK resort reopening anytime soon, for completely non-medical reasons.

    It’s just what we have become as a people. We don’t want to be told no. We don’t respect others as we once did. It does not matter if its seeing the big Mouse, going to the mall or the beach. Just don’t tell us we can’t do it. As people we are very sad.

    1. Paul Alter

      I think you captured it quite well.

  5. Lisa

    Most definetly. How are they going to keep people walking through parks socially distanced? Ever try exiting when park closes? Then we have the beaches that are over crowded. Remember you can carry this for 3 weeks before experiencing symptoms. What happened to Florida not moving forward in the Phases if numbers increased?

    1. Jodi

      Hoping the theme parks will enforce these restrictions. Went to Disney springs and saw lots of guests with masks hanging around their chins. No one said a thing. What could is it to have rules if you’re too afraid you’ll offend someone by not enforcing them.

  6. Aaron

    This is ridiculous, we have had between 500 and 1000 new cases every day since this started, Nothing new.

    If you are scared stfu and stay inside. This is america and we just ruined our economy so karens could feel safe

  7. lorraine cramer

    there are more cases to report because every time someone gets a sniffle now, its got to be the ” virus” I am sure the “Virus ‘ numbers will go up, but remember temps will be taken when you go in and horrible precautions will probably be taken to make it feel like its more of a jail than a park

  8. Mary

    You people who act like the world should stop over this are just nuts. It is so out of proportion to be laughable. I am 60 and had it. No worse than a bad flu. My daughter is dying of cancer and wants to be able to live before she dies. You keep hearing so and so new cases. Well a case of the Wuhan virus is not a death sentence! Good grief people. How many colds and flu cases are there every year? The flu HAS a vaccine and still kills 50-80K a year! Get a grip! Masks do NOTHING but cause worse problems.

    1. Janie

      Its still scary but i agree w you more people died from the flu within the past yrs combined! They are right now wondering if it is the flu bc 30k w flu vaxx died in my state in jan! The flu # climbs as we are watching this and worrying about it! My friend just dropped dead of a heart attack! So believe me my heart goes out to you! I think we need to get back to living even if we are cautious about it! Though i only wish they still wait till we can get out kids back in school bc many of us have nowhere for them to be but home!

  9. Paulie

    You left out some important information. Where in the state of Florida are these new cases located? South east? Central? North? That information is vital

  10. Rebel Orange Bird

    New york might be banned from travel to fl just like brazil! Desantis does not play games maybe everyone complaining needs to remember PEOPLE ACTUALLY DIED FROM THIS!!!!! 20k+ just in my state have a heart!!!!

    1. Davis

      Exactly and it does not choose sides unlike some people above whom think it targets people! Neither does any illness or death… we all get sick and we will all die at some point… and the people whom died from this i doubt wanted to die so soon! Lets all be safe and have patience! Your all not going anywhere till august!

  11. Jerry Smith

    @Davis, Are you living under a rock? While viruses don’t “target” people they very often negatively impact people in specific demographic differently. In this case, the CDC latest estimates say that if you are 0-49 years old you have a 0.05% chance of dying. The overwhelming majority of those in that range have comorbidities (other serious medical conditions). This means that if you are in this range and are healthy you have a significantly better chance of winning the lottery than dying from COVID. The odds increase to 1.3% if you’re over 65 but again, the overwhelming majority have comorbidities. The “science” and the “data” does not support the hysteria for the vast majority of people. If you happen to be in a high risk group you should take extraordinary precautions. Society as a whole should take extraordinary precautions to help these individuals stay safe. Everyone else should stop freaking out, it’s just the flu. Of course, if a high risk individual chooses to accept the risk they should be able to make their own decisions just as they are allowed to when they are diagnosed with a terminal illness. The government DOES NOT have the right to restrict anyone from participating in any lawful activity.

    1. Chainsaw Princess

      Okay but the cdc jumps around like morons and they were paid off by china to not say where this came from and we all probably had this earlier in the yr! You want to quote science etc. They are also finally saying its all mental health issue as a pysch i said that the whole time! Besides you quote things and science are you a dr or just a nut whom likes to quote media blitz bc just bc its on the news does not mean its true! Its true in the moment!

    2. Davis

      Not a rock just sleeping in a childrens hosp holding my dying daughters hand praying for her soul and the world but ty for your rant!

  12. Harley

    Public health officials are on high alert for a mysterious new illness likely linked to the coronavirus that is hospitalizing hundreds of kids across the US. It has hospitalized 400 kids so far across 26 states and 5 kids died in ny! We are far from over folks! I hope disney knows what its doing….

  13. Britt

    We should have waited to open. N wtf is all this karen stuff who cares everyone has there opinion. U don’t like it keep scrolling people are dieing with no vaccine That’s the differance between any other illness they can be cured. If proprly treated

  14. Grace Kelly

    We need to open the Goverment should not be playing God. And if they care about our health.encourage better eating habits don’t close the parks,the beaches and gyms while you let the liqour stores open.

    1. Cindy Caine

      You need to go play in a corner w Aaron and shut up! I prefer desantis then people whom are letting everyone run a muck! Why is everyone in a rush!? People are dying!!! Do you think this is a hoax i bet you thought 9/11 or the holocaust was too!!! I can not take stupid!!! Forget temp check lets do stupid check anyone whom is know for saying or acting stupid or might fight w someone over a mask though you do not know my life should not be let in!!!!
