What I’m most amazed by when I look at photos from the reopened parks at Walt Disney World is how empty they look. I don’t think the parks should have reopened at all, but when I look at the photos, they do not viscerally induce panic in me. In addition to being required to wear masks except when eating or drinking in a stationary and socially distanced location, guests and staff appear to be far apart.
A lot of people ask questions in the form of “If we can reopen X, why can’t we reopen schools?” Often the answer is that we should not have reopened X, especially when X is bars. Sometimes it’s because X, while less important to society than schools, entails a lot less risk of spreading disease; when you go to a Best Buy, you don’t spend seven hours there, engage in close contact with other customers, and eat lunch.
