Calm down, but what you are saying proves my point. People’s initial flippant attitude and not taking this seriously in the first place can only have a detrimental effect.

And if you are going through anything obviously everyone’s thoughts are with you but the last thing I would be doing is posting on a forum.

Next time I will check the date and time of posts?!

It proved nothing honestly. I still have the same views I did before. You honestly just assumed too much.

Sorry I'm not being gentle either. Our schools are shut down for 3 weeks now. I cannot get to my family in a nursing home at all after tomorrow. We're having to deal with a lot of rearranging crap.

I still think most will be okay, but now the economy? Maybe not. It all depends.

I'm posting as I am on hold waiting to figure some things out. My husband is busy working trying to get access for all his 300+ workers to work from home. Posting for 2 minutes doesn't hurt a thing ;)

I wonder if my DCP get’s cancelled...

Sucks if that happens. Although my arrival date isn’t for a very long time, probably too early to tell.

My hope is this thing rolls out as fast as it has come in and in a few months we start to see a return to something more normal. China looked really grim but is looking much better these days. Took about 3 months to see real positive changes. That puts us out into end of May or June if we follow a similar path.

First public drive thru testing on the east coast is opening in NY. Only 1 testing center but it’s a small step in the right direction. They need to ramp this testing up ASAP. All hope isn’t lost that we can get caught up and eventually ahead of this thing.

Medical University here in Charleston SC started doing that today, response was so great they had hoped to have results quickly but said they were back logged and would take 4 hours

I rented DVC points privately and am supposed to go on March 22. I will be out of that money if WDW closes. Does the person get their points back if there is a closure?

I started a thread specifically on that topic. Nobody knows for sure.

Coronavirus impact on DVC

There is a general thread on the virus and impacts to WDW but I didn’t want to bog that one down with specific talk of DVC. What happens if WDW closes the parks and resorts for a period of time? It’s easier to cancel a hotel room but what happens to DVC points used to book rooms during the...

My arrival date is supposed to be in June. I really hope it happens this is something I’ve wanted to do for a while. Health is everything so we shall see what happens.

Well if this is any indication...I just got an email regarding a large corporate trip to WDW in early April, and it was canceled...I wonder if the travel agents/program managers know something we all don’t yet.

This thing isn’t going to just come and go. It’ll stick around for a year. Either tons people will get it and recover, or it’s worse than we feared (unlikely).

One little nitpick in that image. Soap doesn't kill the virus. It helps lift the virus particles off of your skin when you are washing your hands. If you just rub soap on your hand like it is hand sanitizer it isn't going to do much.

The important thing is to wash your hands frequently and PROPERLY for at least 20 seconds.

Right well it absolutely kills the virus.

How soap absolutely annihilates the coronavirus

You’re not just washing viruses down the drain. Soap destroys the coronavirus, a chemistry professor explains.

Older couple behind me at the grocery checkout just now: “Do we have what we need?” “I think so. But I mean, we’re coming back. I can’t carry all this [bleep] back to the apartment at once.” “Did you call the kids?” “The kids are fine.” “Did you call them!” “Honey. Nothing happens in Ithaca.” “Lets go up tomorrow.” “I’m staying right here.” “Oh, that’s smart.” “You want I should die on the way up?”

What’s ridiculous are the people buying multiple 80 packs of toilet paper. One of those should last you months.

I agree and the only way I would do that sort of thing is if I was worried that this might be my last paycheck for a couple of months or more and I needed to make sure that I loaded up with enough food etc to last until I might be earning again.

I have a good feeling you will make it. Just a hunch and a bunch of wishful thinking on my part since nobody can predict what will happen but good vibes can’t hurt right :)

Mines in May. Wondering if they’ll push it to June, cancel, or just go ahead.
