News Expect closure of Hong Kong Disneyland and Shanghai Disneyland to impact Walt Disney World

[Piebald]

I'm told Chapek is in meetings this weekend about potential Paris closures. It's not there yet, but it could be forced by the French government or even the EU in the days to come (if crowd sizes become part of government mandates). Disney is particularly vulnerable to the coronavirus outbreak due to its public entertainment nature; the damage to the company cannot be overstated given that it makes its largest revenues on theme parks and movies. While you shouldn't panic due to the coronavirus, Disney as a company could take major financial hits over the next few months.

Governor Newsom said in his press conference yesterday there are currently no plans to declare a statewide emergency. He did, though, state California will expand testing and is working with the CDC to do so.

2nd unknown origin case in the state? Hope it is the last.

I have a sneaking suspicion I probably know who you're referencing.

He always posts news nearly verbatim from this forum but this is the first time I've seen a regular post from someone who's not Steve just get posted as if he was the one hearing about Bob Chapek. Hilarious.

Yep. It's who I thought it was, too.

I'm glad more and more doctors are advising against handshakes, whether or not you suspect someone may be sick. There is a growing number of people wanting this practice to go away.

We can still have respect for one another, show friendship/ agreement, and be polite without engaging in this dated tradition.

Yep, I am not pleased when someone offers their hand. A quick pull up with an excuse works for most. Still some think that is the norm and it was at one time, no longer for me.

For people who don’t want to shake hands, do what I do. Just say, “I’d love to shake your hand, but with all the illnesses going around right now I don’t want to take a chance on spreading something.” It’s honest and never has offended anyone I’ve ever met. Especially now days.

Cases reported in San Antonio and now Oregon. It appears it won't be.

The Texas cases came from the Diamond Princess and people who were repatriated from China. No community transmission yet in Texas, not that I've seen reported.

Not angry at you, angry at the twit lifting posts from here and passing them off as him own.

Go ahead and shake that hand. It touched the door handle and the top of that chair and desk which you also touched. So, unless you're refraining from touching anything in public or at work, holding off on the handshake isn't providing the protection you're seeking. Furthermore, to be safe, you want to keep a 30 foot buffer around you from anyone else since the virus is aerosolized not only when people cough or sneeze, but even when they breathe or speak.

So... good luck!

It's common for people to focus on a few vectors of transmission but forget about so many others. I have a friend who won't touch the pole in a bus or train for fear of germs and yet he will gladly push an elevator button pushed by a hundred other people. He'll wash his hands before eating, but then shake the hand of our server.

Nothing wrong if areas or states declare a emergency. Australia has done it. Just means the area that need extra resources and cash can get them quickly.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Declaring a state of emergency ahead of time can also trigger anti-hording and anti-gouging laws. As people take emergency preparedness in their own hands, they can take it to the extreme.

Better to be early then late when it comes to disease

Elbow bumps instead of handshakes sounds good to me.

I hear foot tap the other person like dancers do is the in thing now

Things would have to decline on an unprecedented scale for it to happen in the next week.

Right. There’s no indications that would happen at this moment or a week from now.
