Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

What level of employee? Phil Holmes had a reputation for running the Magic Kingdom from home.

Managers and coordinators can.

Yea that was my answer. I figured every one at the top and managers.

Well now the entire working Disney Reservation Center CMs are are trusted to will have to, which is very small. They are the ones you call from 1800 res numbers.l or 407 wdw numbers. Texas, Tampa and Orlando locals.

I recall, a percentage of them worked from home entirely?

Not yet. I actually like my wife and have had a lot of fun with my boys. I just need them to be less physical so we stay out of the hospital!

I predict a spike in divorces after this all is done...no better way to learn you don’t like someone and they are useless in a crisis!

Divorces and babies

Orlando is officially shut down as of 11pm Thursday.

Have you seen the movie Force Majeure? It's about how a family responds to someone being not so useful in a crisis. It's quite good.

It is comical they haven’t put out a statement yet.

Yes that is what I meant. But only a small handful are trusted to do that.

Disney? I think they are trying to figure out how much money they are loosing. Regardless, Orlando is completely shut down until April 9. And even still, it's no guarantee.

Comedy and tragedy, like the fact that their WDW golf courses are still open and their CMs are terrified of their job status.

That's why the boys have to go.

For those interested in tracking COVID-19 across the world, this website has really good information and graphs: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Looks like Italy might be seeing the curve start to flatten out.

Only question you can't answer from the data is whether they chalk up deaths from people turned away because they are 60 or older or not. It is possible that once they announced that they were only treating people under 60 that there would be no point in taking grandma or grandpa to the hospital so when they die it will not be under a doctors care and who knows whether they will consider them to be corona victims or not.

Who knows what is going to happen now that the turn away the oldest it may artificially make it seem that their mortality rate magically dropped in Italy.

Officials here in the Netherlands seem quite proud of the fact the majority of deaths are older and 'weaker' patients who have agreed to go home and die rather than take up hospital resources. They still have enough beds, but it's coming up to crunch time and they seem strangely open about making the calculation that its not worth spending resources on people who are probably going to die soon anyway.

As someone who's not from here, it's a bit chilling, to be honest.

Is anyone tired of sheltering-in-place with the same people for over a week yet?

It's in times like these, that you realize how important it is to choose the person you share your life with, for the right reasons.

My answer: Not yet! (kidding!)

Yes, I hate myself more than usual.

They won’t do any less than what universal is doing.

LOL, I work at a Hilton resort near the Outlet malls by Disney springs and we still have people checking in like it's just another vacation...

LOL. Welcome to Orlando, every thing is shut down. But at least they can enjoy the warm weather. We are having a drought m

Very chilling indeed...

Can I ask you, how many confirmed cases are being reported in the Netherlands, as of today?

I thought they already had legal euthanasia? Why not put all of the old people who get it out of their misery quickly in a humane fashion?
