I've generally gone to every shareholder meeting of the companies I've worked for since they are normally held in the same city that I worked in and everyone of them had the Q&A which was often stacked with enough friendly voices that you rarely got down to the regular shareholders asking question because they always had a time limit... In the few instances where some real question would come up about the company it was always met with a "I'll look into that" type response.

Exactly right. It does not matter what you or I think. But any shareholder whether it's Buffet or the everyday Joe, we all want to share in the success of the company by entrusting our monies with them.

I am sorry to hear this about your mother. It's bad here in central NJ... and I never thought I would go to church and also watch a funeral on Facebook.
Disney has a 9/30 fiscal year so this year’s results include 5.5 months of business as usual. Q1 alone they had $4B of operating income. Even if Q2 is down some year over year because of park closures and other negative impacts from the last 2 weeks of March they would still have made billions in the first 6 months. Their typical run rate for all expenses for a year is roughly $40B so even if TWDC had zero revenue for the next 6 months (which it obviously won’t) and didn’t cut any expenses (which it obviously will) that would still only be a roughly $20B loss so combined with the operating income from the first 2 quarters their losses would be well below $30-50 billion. Depending on how fast we come out of this it’s still possible they will come close to break even on the year. Obviously way down year over year, but not the grim picture you paint.
A few pages back one of the insiders here said they heard the tier 1 fast pass rides as well as all headliners in MK were going to a boarding group system so no standby lines. I don’t think it’s a permanent change but if it works well maybe it will be. The only other physical changes seem to be likely delays in construction projects.
I doubt they will end the year with a loss at all. Remember the parks are only a part of their business. Their networks are still making ad revenue their streaming service continues to do well and is probably getting even more customers now because of the lockdown. Maybe going into next year when lots of people start tightening their budgets they will see some drop in streaming subscriptions but I doubt they will end the year in the red.
Well remember smoking is a risk but if he quit 6 years ago it isn't as bad as it could be. Most reports now are putting obesity as the highest risk factor so hopefully he isn't overweight, and hopefully the heart surgery fixed whatever was wrong in which case he probably isn't in the worst case group just yet.Another person close to has has tested positive - my husband's brother. His wife tested negative, but I suspect it's a case of false-negative because she was sick almost 2 weeks ago. My BIL has had heart surgery, and quit smoking 6 years ago, so he is high risk. So far, no respiratory issues, but he's in A LOT of pain with all-over body aches, and has a fever. The scary part of this is that they both visited my MIL around the 28th-ish of March, and she and her boyfriend are VERY high risk, and my MIL is dropping stuff of and coming into contact with them even though we keep telling her not to.
