Has anyone ever actually recovered from the Legacy Virus?

Today on Adventures In Audio Processing, I had to listen three times before I realized you weren't saying Risque is half-human and half-Seminole, but rather half-*Cuban*, which is a lot less insulting to Seminoles.

The whole "nobody dies at Disney" is not true, but it has a seed of truth, which is not at all specific to Disney. As a general rule of the world, you only get declared dead at the scene if you are *very obviously dead* (as in your head is way over there, or you're already cold, or whatever). If there's any chance you can be saved, the EMTs will start doing compressions whatever other emergency techniques, and once they start that, at least in many jurisdictions, they legally can't stop until instructed by a doctor at the hospital. So you could probably make the same "nobody is ever declared dead at..." claim about almost any public place with good EMT service, because in most cases they're going to get there soon enough to at least try to save a life, even if it's unlikely to work. That said people definitely have been declared dead on Disney property, it's just sort of rare because it's usually due to major traumatic injuries rather than, say, a heart attack. A lot of companies, like Disney and airliners, will by policy do everything they can to keep a person alive while in their care -- which, yes, means they often attempt lifesaving on people who are likely already beyond that point. Is that a wicked corporate mandate? I mean... it's certainly more desirable than employees just going 'nah, he's dead, leave him'. I don't think being zealous in attempting to save a life is a bad thing, whether the motivation is altruism or public relations. Would Disney *prefer* that the news story says somebody had a medical emergency in the park, was transported to the hospital, and died there? Yeah, certainly they would. Do they press their employees and EMTs to do everything possible to get the person off property before any declarations of death are made? Probably. Is that *wrong*? I don't think so.
