Email from Six Flags about COVID-19

[Ansley]

I got an email from Six Flags today about their precautions for COVID 19. I got a good laugh out of this snippet:

"We have significantly enhanced our cleaning and sanitation efforts on all guest and employee touch points; additionally, we are providing an abundance of anti-bacterial soap in all hand-washing stations, and ..."

So, did anyone tell them that COVID-19 is a virus and not bacteria? I do realize that good soap with hand-washing is very effective, and right after this they talk about hand sanitizer throughout the park, but still, the "anti-bacterial" soap made me laugh! They should have focused on handwashing IMHO. Maybe added temporary hand-washing stations all over the park?

But... The CDC says soap and water. Anti-bacterial soap is still soap
so should be effective as well but with the added benefit of ALSO
killing bacteria. Sounds like a win-win to me.

Anti-bacterial soaps are effective at killing anything with a soft membrane, which includes many viruses (including C19) and many fungi.

Hoping that all the parks stay open this season, but planning travel to places for parks makes me a little nervous (not from getting it, just that plans would have to be cancelled). So far all the year round parks here have remained open. Seasonal parks are scheduled to start to open in the coming weeks...

I got a similar email also from Hershey today.

Apparently, Busch Gardens Tampa is wiping down the seats/restraints after each ride the past few days.

Six Flags America announced they are delaying their opening date (not date given yet).
