If this proves accurate we are in much better shape than we think. And it means the park opens sooner than later. Potentially. I know most people here are smarter than Stanford University, but...maybe give it some thought.

^ Well being that the season hasn't started yet for Kings Island, it's hard for me to acknowledge that it's gone yet. I hope that doesn't sound mean, but once I walk in the park and look over that way, then it will hit me the most.
Have there been any pictures posted of the area that formerly was the home of Vortex since they took it down? Since we can't visit, I'm curious what it looks like right now.

The posts above and general gut feeling have me convinced that as soon as the temperatures in the midwest are running +70-degrees on a daily basis, a VERY large number of people are going to say, "Awe, the hell with this." (staying home). That may or may not be a bad thing---time will tell. But I don't think governor's are going to have much choice for much longer but to tell the people the potential dangers, and let the chips fall.

I hear coaster-drool is a thing...lol! Not that I have any first-hand experience.

UV will kill it, but one does not get enough from sunlight to be effective to kill it.
Yeah, I've done way too much reading on this lately myself. Even a "micro-droplet" that hits the ground fast in summer heat & humidity is probably not a problem. But if you put your hand on a big loogie someone spit on the handrail you're in trouble. Same if someone coughs right in your face.

There's clearly only one way to find out how Covid-19 reacts to heat...

Do you have a source for your scientific claims?
This is what sucks about our current world. A simple google search of "coronavirus heat and humidity" pulls up articles that quote professors saying summer heat and humidity will slow the spread, and also big headlines that no, it will not. There's also "it might" and "don't count on it".
What a mess. I guess we just don't know, but traditional logic based on science suggests heat and humidity will help. Uh...but it might not. I guess?

We're gonna be seeing some odd tan lines this summer...

I'm hoping for July. Apparently, the virus doesn't survive on surfaces when the heat and humidity are high.
It does continue to spread in equatorial countries. However, not nearly as fast as it has spread in the northern hemisphere during the colder months. Summer will help. I don't know that it will help enough to open the park, but it will most certainly help.

Clearly canceling the Darwin Awards Playoffs was a mistake.
Not cancelled. I think this years award was already handed out to some guy who drank fish-tank cleaner. Or something like that, idk.

@BeeastFarmer In these hospitals that are firing/laying off/furloughing and are ghost towns and do not have the patients. Is the cause a blanket policy, poor administration, the lack of sufficient PPE, drugs or other supplies becuase it is needed elsewhere, people afraid to go to a hospital out of fear? Something else?
When you lockdown society, there is going to be far less medical emergencies---in the short-term. And that's what is happening. Far less car crashes, basically zero baseball/softball injuries, way less work accidents, and on and on and on.

None of those are essential.
Looking at the lines of cars at the food banks in major cities has made me re-evaluate the word "essential" on all sorts of levels. I can't imagine...

I'm surprised that DeWine hasn't closed the state again. The way it looks he probably will again on May 1st.
I anticipate many governor's cautiously opening up more places May 1st, but with social distancing policies mandatory. If Walmart & Kroger can be open with social distancing policies, why can't Kohls or Macy's or Best Buy?

I was wondering the same thing
The stay-at-home orders in particular plus store actions probably blow this science out of the water.

Today was the first day I have ventured out of my neighborhood since the 3/16 so my son could mow his teachers lawn. Drove by the Costco on the way back home and it dead about 3. Lot 1/4 full. Kroger didn’t look that busy either. I don’t get it. Everyone says how bad it is out there.
Yeah, I don't live in a major city but big college town. Vast majority of the students are gone, and medium/small-ish town otherwise, things are relatively quiet. I'm only going to the grocery when I have to both because of the virus, and because it's just eerie. The struggle is real when you realize you walked 15 feet past an item you need, but there's people already occupying that spot trying to "distance" themselves from yourself. Ugh.

There needs to be something done about Walmart and other stores. Most stores in my areas were packed today. Even with the 5 people per 1000 square foot rule, some big stores that still allows upwards of 1000 people in the store. That really changed nothing. There's never that many people in a store. Home Depot is about the only store doing something right.
There's a scientific argument that only allowing people to go to the grocery is actually the fastest way to herd immunity. It's not mainstream, but something to think about. It's basically, "Don't leave home. But if you do---everyone go "here".

How would a limited daily crowd versus daily cost affect Kings Island's revenue and would there be a point where it would be less profitable for them to be open?
I am only guessing here, but I'd bet there are a lot of days in a typical year they lose money---would've been better off closing. Mostly because of weather which cannot be predicted, but is just part of their equation. Limiting crowds will cost them money. But closing altogether to save a dollar today could lose them even more money looking forward when people lose confidence in their posted hours.

While very informative, your post ignores not only the customer and the competition, but also the future. If other large entertainment venues are allowed to open and do open and are accepting American dollars, Kings Island would be foolish not to do the same. People will throw both their current and future dollars elsewhere determined by what is open "now", whenever "now" is. The park also knows this.

While it’s true that younger people are less likely to die from the illness, if they are admitted to the hospital they will likely require ventilators and evidence has shown those that need a ventilator, regardless of age, are showing signs of lung damage...
My neighbors niece is in her 20s, non smoker or vaper, had covid and has been in hospital for several weeks. Still on oxygen. Doctors say she has lung damage.
Yeah it happens. I'm reading articles now about ventilators doing lung damage. Crazy times.

That's not to discount the physical risk to younger patients who get sick. Permanent lung damage is no joke, and it's a real danger with this virus.
You're just making this part up. There's per-xactly zero evidence of permanent lung damage to the younger crowd. There IS evidence of lung damage for those hard-hit, but again these are not the under-50's for the most part.

I will repeat my Russian Roulette example. Depending on ones perspective the odds of winning or loosing with a 6 round revolver are 16.67%. I really don’t like those odds, but they are better than an under 50 getting hospitalized and once in I don’t like the odds of coming out either.
This is an everyone problem.
Yeah, but look at that Ohio graphic though! It is an everyone problem, but the data is important to our decisions going forward.
