I think this is what people should do, but I'd be surprised. I think I'm going to lay low from the tourist areas for a few weeks though. I'm still hoping for the best but am becoming more cautious as time goes on. I'm thinking the risk/reward is approaching "don't go" for me.
Even if that meant you’d be homeless? I mean jeez that’s asking a lot
The alternative, people dying, isn’t ideal either. Disney or the government will need to step up and provide for their employees, but it’s bordering on irresponsible to ask employees and guests to continue to show up.
Wait, didn’t they use something similar during the H1N1 outbreak back in 09?
Shanghai Disneyland is partially reopen. Not the theme park itself but some of the shopping, dining and hotel with limited hours. They said it was the first step in a phased reopening. There is no guarantee a WDW closing would be the same duration, but the partial re-opening was a little less than 45 days after closing.
People are dying who are elderly- not necessarily young people. This virus isn’t the same as the flu but the flu kills people too. Lots of people. And nothing is banned or closed for that.
I am so sorry but I think I is becoming clear that this view is no longer valid. For the flu we have vaccines, tamiflu and established research. Unfortunately this virus is very contagious and lives on surfaces up to 3 days. Also you are likely contagious for 3-4 days before showing symptoms. Basically it is the responsibility of healthy people to avoid crowds so they can protect our neighbors with with weakened immune systems. I have no opinion on what Disney should do, but I would not care to work there at the moment. Also, if you will be homeless from not working two weeks you may be living beyond your means. I say that just as an encouragement to evaluate your finances. You should be able to miss work for emergencies and not live on the streets. Are there no less expensive housing options?
Update: My school district is closing on March 17 (Ohio's primary day) for a planning session for possible on-line learning if the school is to close before and after spring break. Our spring break begins on March 23 until March 29---the time I will be at Disney. Standardized testing begins on April 1.We have three cases of coronavirus in Northeast Ohio (all in Cuyahoga County) and one of the people diagnosed not only is from the town my school is located but this person also entered a school in my district when infected thus exposing it to at least 1,000 adults and students. We are still not closing even though the kids are all going nuts and it is chaos at the schools. At this time, we aren't even being provided hand sanitizers and tissues and being told not to speak to concerned parents about it.
I think you may be surprised by how many Americans this applies to. I'd guess 30% of Americans would have trouble paying rent if they missed a full paycheck.
