I'm very surprised emerald City comic Con is still going on next week in Seattle. The city is a ghost town right now.

Will Disneyland USA suffer? ALL Of Disney's Theme Parks Now Closed - Reopening Dates Unknown
- Thread starter TP2000
- Start date
Especially with DC Entertainment, Penguin Random House, Dark Horse Comics and a bunch of smaller artists backing out already.
The reason the event this weekend in anaheim was postponed was because 200+ vendors backed out already.

The 3.4% number is interesting if it’s a worldwide count, because it probably means Iran is seeing way more deaths than originally thought. China was at that number, but theirs was particularly effected by the rash of deaths right at the start, where more recent times are down to around 1%.

You sparked my curiosity, so I just looked this up. If I'm reading this correctly, it looks like when the CDC reports the flu burden (illness rates), it is an estimate of total cases based on the actual reported cases. It's complicated statistical modeling, but they are trying to capture the non-reported cases in their final numbers. The mortality rate we think about for the flu includes this estimate of non-reported cases. Of course it isn't perfect, but they try. (https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/how-cdc-estimates.htm)
I honestly don't know if the WHO is including an estimate of non-reported cases in their mortality rate estimates. If they are, then the comparison between the two diseases is valid. If not, then we are talking apples and oranges here. I haven't had enough caffeine yet this morning to wade through the WHO's website. I'll leave that to someone else here.

With Chinese cinemas closed, and safe Americans who are addicted to panic doing what they do best, Hollywood is really getting that sinking feeling.

Onward (and Mulan) have already postponed a lot of their international release dates due to the Asian box office being mostly shuttered for the next couple months. That could be seriously bad for both films as piracy could kill their eventual releases in Asia. Mulan especially was counting on a large China box office return.
Expect a fair amount of current Fall 2020 releases to get pushed into 2021. Raya and the Last Dragon may be one of them, as well as WB's Godzilla vs. Kong.

We'll see what happens. But I expect late summer and early fall to be extremely packed.
First death in CA today. Elderly with underlying health issues, number 11 country wide.

This could lead to more proactive reactions in the state though as it's starting to hit closer to the park.
Placer County announces death of patient with COVID-19 | Placer County, CA

Are you saying that there is a valid reason to actually go to Banning?

Bond film 'No Time to Die' moves release date as coronavirus hurts global box office
Even James Bond can't beat the coronavirus. The "No Time to Die" U.S. release date has been postponed until Thanksgiving weekend to avoid an ailing box office.

That part confuses me too. I saw this paragraph in the Times today and found it helpful.
"The death rate among reported coronavirus patients is now about 3.4%, a far higher percentage than previous estimates, the World Health Organization Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says. He said the virus is more lethal than the flu, which kills tens of thousands of Americans each year, but does not spread as easily."
What I get from that is of the people who have reported to a hospital or doctor's office with flu-like symptoms and been tested for Covid-19 infection, 3.4% of those people later die.
But how many tens of thousands of people in America already have Covid-19 and haven't been tested? How many millions in China had it and weren't tested for it and confirmed as a Covid-19 case?
It's all so confusing. I'm just washin' my hands and livin' my life like I always do!
If you use the death rate math that was used in Japan to close Tokyo Disneyland, we are about halfway towards the US death rate needed to close WDW and Disneyland USA.
Tokyo Disneyland announced it was closing after 8 people in Japan had died, in a country of 120 Million.
There are 330 Million people living in America, so the death rate using that math would need to be 22 Americans died.
Today the 11th death due to Coronavirus related symptoms was reported. So after 11 more Americans die and the death rate reaches 22, will Disneyland close immediately and indefinitely?
Some death rate Fun Facts while you wait in line at Costco to buy 96 rolls of toilet paper...
An average of 1 American dies each day due to Meningitis
An average of 102 Americans die each day due to automobile accidents.
An average of 130 Americans die each day due to Opioid drug overdose.
An average of 1,650 Americans die each day due to cancer.

So... someone with better medical knowledge can correct me if this is totally wrong...
But over the weekend I was talking to some folks who have 30+ year careers working in hospitals, and they seemed to think that once the weather warms up, it should greatly reduce the spread of the disease or even its ability to survive.
I have a trip planned to WDW in June and they all but guaranteed that this shouldn't impact it by that point. I want to believe them, lol... but, I mean, who knows. Needless to say, I haven't booked my flights yet...

My family has our big Disneyland trip planned for the first week of May, which we only do every 3-5 years (last big family trip to DL was in 2016). Would really suck if it was closed, but there's also the possibility that it will be less crowded than anticipated if open and some vacationers stay away.
