The original was like 1959 and there was another remake a few years ago.

BeeastFarmer Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 UV will kill it, but one does not get enough from sunlight to be effective to kill it. Water treatment plants use UV to disinfect. If it is a water plant, then chlorine will be added as well before it is sent out into your home. If it is wastewater, then it will be discharged to a water body. UV radiation affects microorganisms by altering the DNA in the cells and impeding reproduction. UV treatment does not remove organisms it merely inactivates them. The effectiveness of this process is related to exposure time and lamp intensity as well as general water quality parameters. The exposure time is reported as "microwatt-seconds per square centimeter" (uwatt-sec/cm^2). Most treatment plants have a lamp intensity of 30,000-50,000µwatt-sec/cm^2. It takes 16,000µwatt-sec/cm^2 to kill all known viruses and bacteria in water... It takes about 6,000µwatt-sec/cm^2 to kill the flu and 8,000µwatt-sec/cm^2 to kill hepatitis. It is believed covid-19 will be comparable, but tests are still being done... How much UV does the sun provide - equivalent to 8.5µwatt-sec/cm^2...enough to get a nasty burn, but not enough to kill a virus, or even fecal matter. Wash your hands... How can you kill fecal matter?Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Ding Dong Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Or before....hopefully we can keep up with vaccinations here in the US since in general it doesn’t require large gatherings like in remote villages in undeveloped nations. Viruses do not respect borders so now is not the time to defund public health campaigns. In addition there is a growing body of evidence of other organ damage in those infected. Kidney, liver, heart intestinal permanent damage is serious. https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/coronavirus-destroys-lungs-but-doctors-are-finding-its-damage-in-kidneys-hearts-and-elsewhere/2020/04/14/7ff71ee0-7db1-11ea-a3ee-13e1ae0a3571_story.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When in reality you touch the lockers and can easily just go wash your hands or squirt sanitizer. People need to quit passing the buck into others. ride ops will have enough to do check restraints get a squirt of sanitizer repeat. They don’t need the extra exposure of bag handling when there are restrooms practically next door(ki speaking) to where ride lockers are. Lockers for Banshee, mystic ( maybe Orion/FOF lockers got bathrooms addedIn that area LOLOL) are close enough you can take care of yourself in that regard. Believe you misunderstood my post as wanting ride ops to handle bags like they have at times in the past. I'm talking about cutting that practice completely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can social distance at an amusement park. There is a cost associated with that effort - limiting the number of guests allowed into the park, PPE for employees, more security to enforce social distancing, probably longer dispatch times and trains with every other seat and row empty, probably not every ride open, no shows inside, list goes on and on. Do they charge a daily surcharge fee to address these additional costs not anticipated? Rumpke added a fuel surcharge several years ago when gas prices were approaching $5/gallon... How does the park determine who gets in operating at a reduced capacity - pass holders first, daily admission, or closed events? They couldn't do it first come, first serve as no way social distancing would be followed. Think line jumping is an issue now, wait until there is six feet between people...Do they kick people out and revoke their pass for violating social distancing? Do they make money if all they let in are pass holders with meal and drink plans? Do they divide the alphabet into the days and those with a last name A through C are allowed on Mondays, D through F on Tuesday, etc.? The product provided will be a different experience. A lot of questions CF needs to answer... In addition to those answers, the park needs to be able to assure that they keep their employees and guests safe and make money operating at a reduced capacity. If they feel they cannot address both, they don't open... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not worth risking the health of employees or guests especially if there's still a need to continue practicing social distancing. Sports leagues keep pushing their opening days back every month. Unless there's a steep drop in cases and an increase in people recovering, I don't see the park opening back up anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
