Did you not watch your own video? The people that are still buying and eating wildlife are the elite and those with above average means. I don't have a doubt the vast majority of Chinese people have never even considered eating a pangolin or bat. FFS, it's like watching the Real Housewives of wherever and calling out their massive carbon footprint and excess and then turning around and blaming "American culture for their stupid beliefs when it impacts the global population".

You have a brand new 4 Floor Hospital with nobody in it set to be turned over in the next 30 days, it would make a good spot for turning into a medical wing to treat virus patients and you could keep them separated from the general Hospital. | It's coming. They need to allocate resources first. Ie doc, nurses and equipment accordingly

Not really surprised, what kind of sucks is we were going a week into April and technically they haven't closed it for that date yet so we're still kind of up in the air for the rest of the month.
Most likely IMO it will be extended and trip cancelled but until it officially is I can't do anything like cancel my flights or try and work a refund from Disney if possible.
Worst case scenario I'll probably end up with credits for everything and push trip till the fall, honestly not to worried about it just playing it by ear.

Wife has a trip to New York next week, she was suppose to sing at Carnegie Hall and go see Hamilton on broadway as well as a Rangers game.. all the events have been cancelled and New York banning groups of over 500 so pretty much all shows and sights are done..
Trying to decide if I should grab a flight on points and just go anywhere that remains open but NY will probably be a shell of itself during this time

Out of an abundance of caution, the office is closed today, and tomorrow. Someone had a fever and respiratory problems. While we wait for test results, the office is getting pro-cleaned.

i feel sorry for all the SME being effected by the sudden event closures.... Doesn't look like our government is offering much support for them compared to Hong Kong or US?

Couple of my high school buddies are hardcore right wingers, and I can't believe how much they hate the guy. They also love guns for some reason, and will post about guns a lot. Oh and this virus is a "hoax". These are Canadians mind you.
Although so many of their memes put him in sexually suggestive poses, photoshop him into gay pride outfits... I'm sure there is some deep down confusing thoughts that me be what is causing these issues for them

I was supposed to go to Louisiana and then Atlanta next week for work. Got my travel agent to cancel flights. No change fees and credit applied to my account from United and Delta.
Wife is happy I'm staying home.
