Largest U.S. theme parks report no COVID-19 outbreaks since reopening
No outbreaks have been reported at Disney, Universal, SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, Six Flags, Legoland and Cedar Fair parks in Florida, Texas, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, Virginia and Michigan, according to state health agencies…

But I still have questions. For example they say that there's no outbreaks at parks, but they also say under Pennsylvania, "But like many states, Pennsylvania does not provide details on COVID-19 outbreaks at individual theme parks." ??? So is this like stopping testing to stop positive test results? I'd like to believe that it's safe, though.

I’m highly skeptical about no outbreaks; especially since our systems lack any sort of contact tracing.
Yep. I'm thinking it's a we don't have data, so I guess there's no outbreaks type deal. Also it's interesting that they hid that bit of info under Pennsylvannia. Why is that info not right at the top? And why don't they list what states have this policy (or limitation, whatever it might be)?
Yeah but if you test positive they go into detail about there you have been and what you did. While there isn't contact tracing to the point that we can pinpoint that I was within 10 feet of someone who had it, they can trace your locations to see if they cross with anyone else who has tested positive. That's that they mean by no outbreaks traced to Amusement parks. When they go back 2 weeks with infected people they aren't able to line up theme park visits with other people who tested positive.
This user was warned for this post under ParkFans' personal attacks rule for calling an individual an "idiot"
DeSantis is an idiot who has no idea what the terms "public" and "safety" mean when they're together. I really hope the parks keep their current rules/boundaries.
I pray they do as well. Could be asking for a bit shit show in Florida
I thought the new guidelines only called for a 10 day quarantine after a positive test? It's only 14 days if you were a close contact and didn't test positive.
But I also have an issue with that headline. It's intentionally misleading. In the article they specifically mentioned that it's the end of their 10 days but the headline specifically talks about 14 days. Also there's no indication that they will be there, it's just hosted at the governor's mansion. It's just sensationalist and hopes that people will only read the headline and not the article.
Taken care of. In the future, we encourage the use of the Report button—it highlights potential rule violations for us way easier than a post in the thread while allowing discussion to continue relatively unaffected. Regardless, thanks for pointing it out!
CDC says 14 days still by the looks of it.

This is a very good point though.

I wouldn’t put it as this issue in specifics. But given how lately the CDC will post about mask and distancing, and have it pulled within hours despite data suggesting the recent post is correct Im a little weary. Adding in things like HHS taking over data tracking or cases and asserting themselves in vaccine approval, and the White House wanting time review data makes something not feel kosher.
I don't know if anyone will appreciate this but this is what the front entrance to DL and California Adventure looked like today, around noon.
Been going to DL all my life - never seen anything like it.
