Hmm... Now I'm just concerned where they made up the difference. "The devil you know is better than the devil you don't" and all that.
Well, they're probably serving "chopped shoulderloin" at Yachtsman's now...Hmm... Now I'm just concerned where they made up the difference. "The devil you know is better than the devil you don't" and all that.
It should work the other way as well then.American companies can't buy Chinese companies, per the laws of the communist nation.
This afternoon the CDC posted an "Alert level 2" for travel to Japan and South Korea, indicating special precautions should be taken for high risk individuals.

With the outbreaks in Italy, South Korea, Iran, etc, many companies are bracing for significant economic impact. It is important that the disease not spread in the United States, as right now the world economy is being buoyed by America's growth in the face of the pandemic.
We’re not seeing spread here in the United States yet, but it is possible, even likely, that it may eventually happen. Our goal continues to be slowing the introduction of the virus into the U.S. This buys us more time to prepare our communities for more cases and possibly sustained spread. This new virus represents a tremendous public health threat.
...
if you’re watching the news, you may be hearing about schools shutting down and businesses closing in countries in Asia to reduce the potential spread of this virus. The day may come where we need to implement such measures in the U.S. communities.
The biggest issue I see is being asymptomatic and contagious combined with unreliable testing.As someone that has been following this story since the very beginning, I personally believe it’s only a matter of ‘when’ not ‘if’ we see significant spread in the States. There are a lot of unknowns when it comes to the scope of impact of that though, and the extremity of measures that may be deemed necessary to react to it on local or national levels.
The CDC has actually said as much in their telebriefing on Friday. Here’s the full text, but I’ll pull out a few lines:

Italy, South Korea, and Japan are essentially a wake up call that localized outbreaks are possible almost anywhere at this point. Without being alarmist, ‘anywhere’ includes Anaheim and Orlando. At this point businesses and individuals should absolutely start preparing for that possibility.
DVC would beg to differ. See: The Riviera.As soon as you decide guests can’t tell when you’re ripping them off, you’ve lost. You cannot run a business based off the idea your customers are stupid.
They will move to 1/2 ply toilet paper, where every other piece is actually your hand! Get your Boarding Group!Hmm... Now I'm just concerned where they made up the difference. "The devil you know is better than the devil you don't" and all that.
They already run enough crap shows at WDW.They will move to 1/2 ply toilet paper, where every other piece is actually your hand! Get your Boarding Group!
China will need to take some action soon to help Disney and Universal with their themeparks and movies. Besides the themeparks, it is important to remember both companies make a significant amount of filming in China. The best and easiest step China can make quickly and won't cost too much is let both companies start their streaming services. I know that Universal Universal Beijing is not open yet but with Covid19 hitting Beijing, it is likely to cause th he opening to be delayed even though Universal issued a press release it is on time.As of today, the China Parks, Shanghai Disneyland and Hong Kong DIsneyland have been closed for more than 30 days, including some of their resorts and shopping districts.

And there is extreme concern that if the recent outbreak in Italy reaches France... Paris could be shut down as well. There are several industries hit hardest by potential pandemic situations, and public entertainment is definitely one of those. At this point, the company is planning for the absolute worst: if American parks eventually need to be shut down. The chances of that are extremely low, but if it occurs it would be devastating. The loss of all theaters in China, and almost all in Asia, is already becoming a significant monetary issue.

Meanwhile in the US, the flu has already caused an estimated 26 million illnesses, 250,000 hospitalizations and 14,000 deaths this season, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
