Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[PeoplemoverTTA]

My brother is ticking me off. I just got this text, “look at Times Square during rush hour - crazy!”

My response, “so why are YOU there?!”

He said, “oh I read just wash your hands and face when you get home and you’ll be fine.”

I wish he would take this seriously

I just had a scary thought. What if the internet goes down long term during this crisis!

Why, why even say something like that?!?

Im wondering if streaming services will all be asked to halt streaming for a while.
I know Netflix was asked to stop HD streaming in some places...

The internet at my work is horrible at work to begin with, and this week it has been so much slower

Yes in Europe. If NYC is doing fine right now I can’t imagine it will get any worse Internet usage wise.

Yeah let's not jump to worst case in a world that is pretty dang close to it already.

I’m more thinking for some areas where the kids will all now be home doing online schooling. It’s going to be harder bandwith wise in some areas.
It’s way down on the list for worries, granted.

Goodness no! How did we survive in the 1970s and 80s without it?

I don’t know what all schools are doing... but mine is not all online schooling. It’s lesson plans and assignments for home schooling..some stuff is done online, and written work is scanned and emailed to the teachers daily.. but it’s not all online steaming courses. The older grades and high school may be different though.

I hope you called and chewed him out!

It’s ridiculous he wasn’t even showing Coronavirus symptoms or other criteria , but he was able to get tested.

The 1% have certain perks.

Sports team owners calling in favors it seems....

This in unfair. The anger you’re referring to has been directed at those who are panic-buying and hoarding. No-one is being told to buy more than what they need; quite the opposite, in fact.

Alas, my post on the subject was many pages back.

What I initially said on the subject was simply that the supply chain of toilet paper wasn't set up for - more or less- even a reasonable uptick in demand. Stores don't make a lot of money stockpiling extra toilet paper inventory.

But really, what proof do we have that anyone was actually able to stockpile TP?

I just don't think it is as widespread as people are imagining the problem to be.

Or were....twenty pages ago.

There’s a ton of comments from before anything was known that didn’t age well...

9 weeks...we had 9 weeks as a country to get in front of this.

They didn't telework, that's for sure.

What would you have done?

After this is behind us, I have no doubt a report is going to be done to look at this from the start, our response to information (as well as the rest of the world's) from day to day, and hopefully that information can be used to better prepare for similar problems in the future...but probably should look forward right now....

Are they all back to online schooling yet? Could be.
Also I’d say NYC already has the latest and greatest lines installed. Some places around me, not so much...

Sorry, I should have instead asked....

Exactly how much TP is the right amount of TP to buy during a pandemic?
