So, there may be something to this. For instance, today in Alabama, cases were high (but not highest ever), however, what was interesting was that of the shift of cases. For the last few weeks, it had been driven by Montgomery, Mobile, and somewhat Jefferson and Tuscaloosa counties. Today, by far Jefferson county had the most cases. It was also the site of the largest protest, so you could be starting to see the effect.
I hear you - my husband works at a specialty hospital that has no ICU. They canceled their elective surgeries early on (it was a very unpopular decision at the time, but what a difference hindsight can make), converted a couple of inpatient floors to a COVID unit, and then converted several ORs to "ICUs" where they could house 2 patients on the one ventilator unit. I don't know if those patients were counted as "ICU" - I think they were, because they were counting every patient on a vent as being "ICU". But there were also many patients on regular hospital floors who were on oxygen (through a tube or a mask, but not mechanically ventilated, because they could breathe on their own). Those patients were not counted as "ICU" patients. That was part of the problem with the Javits Center being used to house covid patients - almost all of them were on some form of oxygen, and that couldn't be done at the Javits, so they ended up using it as a "step down" - patients still very weak, but didn't need supplemental oxygen any more - so they could make room in the regular hospitals for people who needed oxygen.
Disney is in a very tough spot, no matter what they do someone is going to find fault with them. They are dammed if they do and dammed if they don't. They can't win no matter what move they make.
I do believe that Disney is doing everything they can to keep their guests safe. It is up to each one of us to decide if we think it's safe to go, seems pretty simple to me. I understand the frustration that so many are feeling with having to cancel and reschedule their trips only to have to cancel again not mention the loss of points. I'm among the more fortunate group that doesn't have a trip scheduled until January 2021 but I'm not foolish enough not to realize that I too may have to cancel my trip. I'm hoping that doesn't happen but I'm realistic enough to understand that it could.
I hope that as time passes your confidence in Disney will be restored. I have confidence that it will, this too will pass.
I think I have a lot of confidence in Disney wanting to protect me as best as possible while opening, with all the recommended protocols and requirements. My lack of confidence right now is with the staggering number of people who are more concerned about finding ways to circumvent the requirements than they are the health and well-being of those near them. THAT'S what will likely delay my return to a place like Disney. They'll try to enforce the requirements, but a small percentage of people will make it tough - and will make it less safe.Disney is in a very tough spot, no matter what they do someone is going to find fault with them.

How stupid can we be?Over 9000 cases in one day.
And the trend is clearly the wrong direction. And, by the way, you can make that comment about most of the country in general. The country is setting all time highs every day. Florida is a big part of that (more than 20%), but it's not just Florida.
I know, we live in Delaware near The Beach and we have 2 couples that we see, otherwise no thank you. I know one quiet beach that we go to but not next week. Be safe out there, remember wear a mask and safe distancing is the key.
This almost certainly closes down a few places that were previously open: AbracadaBar, maybe Martha's Vinyarrd, maybe some of the other previously open Lounges that serve food as an afterhtought.
