EDIT: Yeah, too far/soon I guess. I'm as worried about this as everyone else is, was just trying to use humor to help myself/others cope.

So when (if) they finally make a vaccine, will it cause temporary blindness? :dance:
The frustrating aspect of the reaction to the virus for me is the often ‘calming’ reassurance that it’s ‘only’ people with underlying medical issues that will potentially have severe complications...but who doesn’t know someone that falls within this category? I feel like the information out there about what kinds of medical issues are being impacted most would be valuable information right now. That’s what’s spreading the fear. The virus has been around 2 months now, and there’s are likely over 100k cases...I feel like some of these questions should be answered by now.
Press conference today mentioned elderly, pre-existing conditions mentioned were diabetes and respiratory problems. Also mentioned Obesity being a large factor due to difficulty of breath. The latter will certainly be more unique to the US than the countries and cases we’ve seen so far.The frustrating aspect of the reaction to the virus for me is the often ‘calming’ reassurance that it’s ‘only’ people with underlying medical issues that will potentially have severe complications...but who doesn’t know someone that falls within this category?

That would be the entirety of their international parks.
Do we have a way to know what attendance was like in Tokyo prior to them closing it? Was it way down?
I'd be curious about Paris too. If attendance is way down anyway, closing it wouldn't be as big of a loss.
With both Paris and Tokyo being more of a "locals park", I'm curious if people were self-regulating to not go there already in Tokyo's case.
wise move :thumbsup: just too many risky areas on that world tripPress conference today mentioned elderly, pre-existing conditions mentioned were diabetes and respiratory problems.

In personal travel news; tonight I went ahead and cancelled my big trip for the year. A total of 15 flights across 11 countries (incl Italy and Korea) was just too much risk and potential for catastrophe. Especially with kids in tow. And I didn’t want the “what if” of not only the quarantines/restrictions, but the potential risk of infection as well.
I still went ahead and threw together a small trip to London/Paris/Amsterdam two weeks from now. Obviously keeping an eye on those areas, so can/will cancel if needed.
I would guarantee the stock he buys in the downturn instead of spending money would be worth more than the trip would cost in a few years.wise move :thumbsup: just too many risky areas on that world trip
I'm heading up next weekend, I will have gloves...I saw a pair of guests going into MK today wearing rubber gloves. I think if you're that worried, you need to stay home.
Take this with a mine of salt but someone on another board says there is potentially 2 cases in Dr. Phillips and One in Lake Mary... something to do with a hospital in Orlando ....
Just the messenger don't shoot me
