Did you not notice the title of this thread? If you want a corona-free discussion going to a threat titled "coronavirus and walt disney world" is probably not a good place to look. Might I suggest something in the "Everest Effects Watch" thread? It may be corona-free.

I personally hope they change it to a virtual race and still send the medals and march home via mail. My wife and I were really looking forward to this race but wouldn't go now even if they still had it.
I think they are largely staying inline with the parks - announced closure through to the end of the month, and nothing said yet beyond that.

Is that really true that some UV light kills it?

Not corona-free. Corona and disney world... like the thread title. I'd like more of that and less conspiracy theories and BS.

The endorphins produced in each case may be similar.

If you're worried about catching a virus from strange links... (and that's a reasonable position)...

ANSAN, South Korea, March 12, 2020 — Seoul Viosys, a developer of UV LED technology and a subsidiary of Seoul Semiconductor, announced this week that customer inquiries for its violeds UV LED products, which can be used for sterilizing bacteria, increased more than five times over the previous month, fueled by concerns over the continuing global spread of the virus causing Covid-19.
With growing concerns over the spread of the virus, several Chinese automotive companies are actively reviewing adoption of Seoul’s violeds UV LED technology in sterilization systems for vehicle interiors. Violeds UV LED technology has also been used by NASA aboard the International Space Station to provide a germ-free environment for astronauts.
Seoul’s violeds UV LED technology has been adopted by Maltani, the largest Korean lighting company, for sterilization lighting applications, and by RGF Environmental Group, an in-duct air treatment supplier in the U.S. known for its Halo-LED indoor air quality system.
Seoul Viosys said that until recently many companies had been conservative in their adoption of UV LED technology due to conventional UV LEDs having a typically short lifetime (10,000 hours) and high cost. The company said it has improved the lifetime of its violeds UV LED to more than 50,000 hours, comparable to visible LEDs used for general lighting applications, and also increased production capacity to achieve cost competitiveness. The company states that 60 seconds of UV-C (100-280 nm) LED light exposure can sterilize 90% of coronavirus viruses and 97% of influenza-type viruses.
“Seoul Viosys is committed to developing technology that protects human health and creates a cleaner world, and we have long been involved in developing UV LEDs for innovative biomedical and agricultural applications,” said Chung Hoon Lee, CEO of Seoul Semiconductor. “We hope that Seoul’s violeds UV LED technology will help protect human health and create a cleaner world in the face of the current health situation.” "

A big part of the "disappearance" of those illnesses is because they caused severe illness in a very high percentage of patients. This allowed for quarantines to be effective.
On the level of contagiousness, part of the SARS-CoV-2 ability to spread may be the number of people with mild cases. In the normal course of life, somebody hacking up a lung and feeling half dead isn't likely to go to a party. Also, if they are out in public, people will notices and try to steer clear of them. Somebody with a mild cough from COVID-19 may have gone to a party without thinking twice.
Just to report something positive and provide hope for the world over... China just reported no new local coronavirus transmissions for the first time!
China reports no new local coronavirus transmissions for first time
BEIJING/SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China and the epicentre of its coronavirus outbreak, Wuhan city, have reported no new domestic transmissions for the first time, raising hopes that strict containment efforts to stop the spread of the virus are working. Wuhan, locked down since Jan. 23, is currently...news.yahoo.com
Come on folks, let's try to focus on the positive news instead of the negative. It will 1) help us all get through this and 2) might even put some urgency in our step to accelerate the process of getting to where China is. Whether you want to believe it or not, they are ahead of us in fighting this disease.
China went on lockdown on January 23rd. That is just under 2 months.
Not to put a damper on the good news but this report is coming from the same country that told the WHO that "have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV)" on January 14th. Forgive me for not trusting their numbers.

I’ve been checking it regarding an April trip. It’s helpful for the latest Disney news without having to wade thru info via google.
They are politicians... they didn't get elected by facts, they got elected by being the best at manipulating people into voting for them.. or they are at the top of those agencies because they were the best at taking credit for what others did while putting blame on someone else when something went wrong... The way the system works you don't get honest people at the top because honesty isn't rewarded and will often result in your losing an election or being demoted.
When the system you live under rewards liars and punishes the honest, you'll never end up with people at the top having enough faith in humanity to be honest even if they had the capacity to actual tell the truth.

Yes - it said requests for their technology is soaring...but no real information about whether or not it actually kills COVID-19.
Well the problem is the only thing you can really say about Corona and Disney is that Disney is closed because of the coronavirus. Now you can't really say much about a place that isn't open beyond that... so the only thing left is the coronavirus itself.
So I updated post 7455 and underlined the part about UV-C killing 90% of coronaviruses in 60 seconds.

So you’re left with just your own assumptions to go on?
I'm sure they can make use of the canned or dry goods... but if they get swamped with lots of food that spoils like meats and veggies I'm not sure what they would do with it all. That could be a huge amount of food to have to distribute in a short amount of time.WDW and DLR donating excess food to Second Harvest Food Bank. Kudos to TWDC!

Those odd blue lights you see in restaurants often and elsewhere are not insect zappers. They also use the tech in food factories and medical facilities.
