Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[Polynesia]

Isn't that the truth. Everyone has a side the public doesnt see

True. But some of us do try to see the good in others.

As expected, Ohio just closed schools for the rest of the year. My daughter had held out some hope. Distance learning has been okay (I'd give it a "C"), but she desperately misses her friends, most of whom she hasn't seen in 5 weeks.

True. But some of us do try to see the good in others.

And honestly, everyone deserves a fair shot.

The sentiment is very nice but if there's one thing that man loves, it's a photo of himself.

Is this the beginning of the haterattis' new meme: hating Josh?

I’m hoping my kids go back 5/15...but it’s unlikely. My state is yielding to New York.

The wait Disney company is publicly traded with the goal of maximum profit at near all costs.

How does that relate? We don’t talk about it nearly enough.
So if you don’t highlight “haterrtis’”, maybe it won’t happen?

But did you or do still support such a company that will maximize profit at near all costs?

It’s not clickbait - but it is just the opinion of one run-of-the-mill financial analyst who’s statistically unlikely to be anything more than mediocre at picking stocks.

In the next CEO / CFO Disney / Wall Street Public conference call there are number of Wall Street folks on the conference call with Bob during his talk on the company and during Q&A. Surely some tough questions will be asked to Bob on what Disney's painful road to recovery will look like.

Are the cutting the required school days for this year? Indiana waived 20 days so now last day is May 7th, no Monday or Friday Elearning. They would have been going until May 22nd before.

The two groups that the CEO of any publicly traded company up to are Wall Street professionals that cover the stock and company shareholders.

That’s my point...we can coexist with different opinions if we don’t invite the conflict

Estimate of 2021 opening.

Estimate of 2021 opening.

A tad early...

But I don’t think Iger is playing around when he sees the threat of liability.

They’ll sooner mothball than follow bad public policy...

They really should...I’m all for home instruction but there is a tipping point where it actually becomes an economic liability

The goal of contact testing isn’t to capture every single person who was possibly exposed its to contact the most likely candidates. Anyone the infected person had direct contact with. This isn’t a new concept. Contact testing has been common practice with infectious diseases historically. If each infected person infects 3 additional people then if you can isolate 2 of them that’s a 2/3 reduction in the spread. It’s not going to catch everyone but it significantly reduces the outbreak.

On the app, thats not how it works. It doesn’t use GPS data. It uses Bluetooth. Each person who has the app is assigned a unique identifier that is meaningless to any outsider. Whenever you come within the programmed distance of another user your app will collect that unique identifier. That list is stored for a programmed number of days (let’s say 14 days for example). If within those 14 days someone tests positive for the virus they change their status to infected and then all the people who’s phones have the positive person’s unique identifier stored will get a notification that they need to get tested. The person who gets the notification won’t know who or where or when they came in contact. The intent is to keep it anonymous. Then all the people who got alerts get tested and any who are positive change their status and the whole thing starts over. You are going to get a lot of negative tests but that’s OK. The point is to try to isolate people as soon as possible rather than waiting until they have symptoms.

And if it is not using GPS and only bluetooth then it is a completely meaningless system. The sick person walks into a supermarket and coughs... He leaves... Now for the next few hours anyone that walks through the area where he coughed is potentially infected but because he left before they arrived their bluetooth never connected... If that is the system they invision then it will be completely worthless. You might as well go back to asking the sick person who the spoke with if this is the system they are using.
