I know it pains people to read but Disney will be the last thing to reopen. I've said it from the beginning (while people laughed).

Much more problematic - my opinion - than the two things people always falsely compare them to when they defend price hikes:
Sporting events and broadway shows.
The 24/7, 7 or more time periods leave an exponential list of risks scenarios. More than Disney Knows they can account for. They are very good with data.

Nah, too much $ involved. It will open this year, but won't be the same for a while.

WOW! Very scary!!! I am glad you made it through!!! Very well could have been COVID !!!! I know it’s a personal matter but I know we would all want to know how the antibody test comes out if you get it.
If there's two things scientific models can't predict: it's lawsuits and optics. Oh, how I hate the word optics.
We all don't want Bad and Potentially Damaging PR for Disney but We can't keep America shut down till 2021!! Who can hold on to their Jobs?!?!
Let's talk in August and see where we are.

We were at universal in late January and all four of us had weird viral symptoms for near the whole month of February...lasted for long times and two were tested and negative for the flu.
We are rarely sick as a family. You do the math.
Ironically...my symptoms were the most mild and I’m the “at risk” one...but I don’t get sick, so there’s that too.
All the jobs cannot be saved but one can bet there will be an overwhelming turnout of applicants.

They did not say anything about cutting days; our district said "proceed with online learning for the rest of the year". fore some reason, my daughter's school is alternating days between periods 1-4 and periods 5-8, so they are effectively doing half days.

How does that happen, actually? Im texting a group of engineers from my company and none of us can do the math...neither can the accountants or the lawyers.

Also taken from the task force meeting. One of the leadership team members is on the Florida re-open task force along with several other large businesses in Florida. They will work all week on a plan and will update this coming Friday, April 24 (I couldn’t hear his name because my kids were chatting - loudly ha!).

Thank you for your kind words. I will post the results once I can get a test. I’m just not sure how to get one. I see my cardiologist next month and I’ll ask him.

It has to do with oil contracts for May deliveries, that expire tomorrow. It does not mean that oil prices going forward are that low. It just means there aren't a lot of people looking for oil before contracts expire tomorrow, to be delivered in May because their tanks are full from April's lack of demand.
Think of it this way. You have a WDW ticket that has to be used by May 31st and you have to have it out of your hands by tomorrow. What price does it have to be for people to buy it? Right now, you will have to pay someone to take it.
You might want to hold off on the antibody test unless you see a real benefit from knowing the results, or at the very least get one under an assumed name. In the future you may want to get a new life insurance policy and being a known victim of the virus could cause you to have higher premiums or be rejected outright. Something to consider with any medical tests, if you really need the test then do it, but if its more for curiosity whether this antibody test or one any other number of tests... remember the results will follow you around for life.
True. Sorry! I'm just worried when I can go into the office. I know my job is safe for now but if everything is shutdown for 6, 12, 18 more months . You do start to wonder...
No talk of cutting days in WI. We're just online the rest of the year, since WI is shutdown till May 26th

I saw somewhere that the refineries have exceeded their capacity to store it...so it’s a “theoretical” reason for “negative” value.

I also tested negative for the flu at my first ER visit after being sick about four days. When I was hospitalized ten days later I tested positive for type A flu, which apparently is very common when having covid. You get seasonal flu along with it.
