I can assure you, the tourists are not gone. This virus is like the flu and people will go to the theme parks sick. They spent all that money to get here, and get in, and they’re going to stay. It was, and is, not unusual to see people puking, coughing, sneezing, etc and remaining at events. You see this during hurricanes too. The tourists don’t leave until they’re forced to. There’s no way vendors are go to be able to control it, short of being forced to close. Traffic is still horrendous. It takes 30 min to go 10 miles.
I’ve been self quarantining for 3 years since my cancer diagnosis. I venture out only as necessary. I’ve long since made hand washing a priority. Hand sanitizer everywhere, tissues, increased use of paper towels, the house aired out at least monthly, vacuum, mop, dust regularly, etc. even the inside of the vehicle. I have a pair of driving gloves with a special finger tip that will allow me to use my cell phone screen. (Found them at Target 3 years ago.) I have gloves and masks the hospital gave me. I continue to use them as needed. A lot of this is common sense.
I was supposed to attend a 2 day cancer conference in Boca Raton next week but it has been cancelled. It’s now going to be online and the registration fee will not be adjusted. The hotel rooms are being refunded. The economy is for sure going to take a hit in the business arena. Highly doubtful the tourists will stay away. Just my thoughts tho.
