DeWine to make an announcement at 530 tomorrow: https://www.wlwt.com/article/gov-dewine-to-hold-special-wednesday-evening-coronavirus-briefing/33315831
Unless he cancels it like he did today.

If anyone cares to do some reading there are some really good articles from the New England Journal of Medicine regarding the difference between prolonged indoor exposure to Covid-19 infected persons vs. casual outdoor pass-by.

This is one of the attitudes that's causing the massive spread in the US. You may not get sick, but you may potentially pass the virus to many other people causing a lot more to get sick.
The Government of Ontario announced today that Ontario's Stage 3 will not include the opening of Canada's Wonderland, and i think it's a good move personally. There's way too much risk at this point. Ohio and Ontario aren't too far off in population, Alarming that on July 10, Ohio reported over 1,500 cases, while here in Ontario, we have been reporting roughly 110-130 daily cases for the past two weeks.
My concern about the parks opening as well is how 'militant' will associates need to be with guests wearing masks. If security doesn't immediately kick them out than I think there's way too much risk in keeping the park open.
So in this age of Covid-19 and "defund the police", you arrived here tonight---at KI Central---to say the park should not be open. And furthermore if they are open, mere associates must be "militant" about mask-wearing? This must be the Twilight Zone, no?

So how exactly do you propose we gather high quality data to form a more coherent understanding of this virus so we can fight back?
I'm retreating to my basement and welding the door shut. Maybe that'll work. ;-) (I was actually trying to move this thread back onto topic. Oh, well)

What do ya'll think about this chart:
What's interesting to me is amusement parks and going to a sports stadium (without differentiating indoor/outdoor) are a "9". Most of these places have been closed for months. How do they even know this? Or is it just, "well, it's probably dangerous, so give it a 9"? Is Kings Island a 9? Is Indiana Beach? IB has been open 3 weeks---there's been no spike in NW Indiana in the counties around the park, nor the one it is in. That could change, but until it does I'm skeptical.
I just find it really frustrating that as cases spike in FL, TX, etc....they aren't really telling us WHERE people most likely got it. That data is hidden from us. Were they at work? Or were they at an amusement park? Because I'm betting they were probably inside at work or a club, etc.

I went ahead and bought the all-season last night for our crew after hearing this. We haven't gone yet this year, and it's probably going to be a couple more weeks, but so looking forward to it. As we don't have to renew our season passes for 2021, it made the price for FL $100 cheaper (kinda) for everybody considering it applies to next year as well so that helped. And I hope it helps the park throwing some stimulus $'s their way. We live far away so we're not going to be abusing Fast Lane as we don't get there enough to do so. But it'll be great when we do.

What about the Afterburner Fries? Is it just a name like Freedom Fries or are they unique in some way?
According to the dictionary they should just shoot out of you quicker with increased thrust, but cannot confirm.

As it currently stands, if you have all-season Fast Lane do you need a voucher for Orion? Or do you just get in line and hop on? And repeat, if you want?

What part has you so intimidated? Boots? We wear boots all the time when walking long distances, especially when unsure of the terrain. Sneakers, sandals, mules, pumps, flats makes no difference to me, the point is tracers out in the field talking to people not leaving voice mails. Badges? Well, I guess that might intimidate you. Didn’t figure you were that type though. Subpoenas? Only if you do not cooperate.
Walk it back a bit...that's good. :-) We're not going subpoena thousands of people though. You know that. I know that. And the whole "boots and badges" thing just...bad timing. You know. ;-)

LMAO. I've had some really good laughs tonight. Thank you for topping it off! Don't forget folks, "The real measure of a man is how he scrounges for basic supplies his wealthy nation can't provide."

I would assume in this instance the subpoena would be to obtain the data related to one's mobile device, which more than likely has a history of where someone has been...pings off cellular towers, etc. as that is the only true way to contact trace... Most people are not going to remember where they were at 2:45 last Thursday or whatnot. The ability to create after the fact a "diary" of where one has been when and where based on memory will certainly not be very reliable.
Boots, badges and subpoenas. Sounds intimidating. And we're just not China. Or Asia generally. You're not snooping through my phone. And I think the American populace agrees with me. It's not happening. Move on.

Failure to cooperate with contact tracing should result in civil fines. IMO.
LOL. Of course. After boots, badges and subpoenas comes...wait for it..."civil fines". Do you hear yourself?

There you go again...putting words in my mouth. Where did I say “lock people up”? Please quote.
Your exact quote was, "contact tracing is boots on the ground with badges and subpoenas." Do tell us what happens after the boots, badges and subpoenas take affect. Let people wander around?

Why are the same people wanting to lock people up "with boots and subpoenas" actually going to Kings Island, and/or even posting on this forum when the park is open. I find that hilarious and 100% oxymoronic.

This is why Dr. Fauci, the Pediatric Association, etc, want schools OPEN. More kids are going to suffer if schools are closed. They are the experts. Which expert advise do ya'll choose to listen to?

907 people died from covid yesterday, if 907 people died everyday for the next 6 months thats 160,000 lives lost. That’s not a number to just shrug off.
*Shrugs.* 2.8 million people died in America in 2019. If this keeps up we're going to see a spike in hunger, abuse, heart attacks, blah blah blah. 160,000 meh. Not worth destroying lives of the healthy for.

The April spike in cases corresponded almost exactly with a spike in deaths. That is NOT happening right now.

So how has our (non)method been working out? Have any success stories to tell us that have lowered the spread?
I'm not on team lock-people-up to stop the spread. I'm just not. I can tell you the daily number of deaths has been plummeting nationwide on a sharp downward line.

Um. What contact tracing? Phone banks are not contact tracing, contact tracing is boots on the ground with badges and subpoenas.
Well, that's how the Chinese Communist Party does it anyway.

That's where the health department contact tracing kicks in NOT Kings Island. If they determine the exposure warrants giving further details to identify guests it will be announced.
Spot on!

Those beaches are in a state where the governor has been routinely criticized by the citizens of a state.
Agreed. Most citizens want the beaches OPEN. Where they can socially distance, outdoors.

Recommendation of masks is a joke
Would you like to expound on that? A joke as in not needed, or a joke as in should be mandatory?

Good buddy was at Holiday World on Saturday while I was at KI. There appeared to be more people at HW. The water park was packed! Pretty sure they were close to the 15k number I've seen thrown around for their cap.
We live very close to Indiana Beach, and had friends make the long trek down to Holiday World this past weekend. Parks are hopping, and our numbers are "okay". So far.

I think if the park got rid of mask requirements and reservations they'd be packed. Or at least makin' money. Just an observation based on pics of beaches and such. A VERY large segment of society is not interested in masks especially outdoors. Sucks for the park. If they eliminate mask requirements DeWine will certainly shut them down. Gonna be a short season I'm afraid.

Will you at least admit there is reasonable intelligence suggesting it escaped out of a Wuhan laboratory as opposed to some random wet market?
