Yul Lose Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I just heard that Disney is closing all of its parks until the end of the month. My son and 3 grandkids are here and had reservations starting Sunday night through Tuesday. He just got the notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Kris Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Yes it's unfortunate. I believe the gesture comes in two parts. The first is to legitimately help reduce the spread. The second is to limit liability. The last thing anyplace needs is to get the reputation of helping spread the disease and the litigation that goes along with it.

JD Lud Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Many Seattle area ones closed today until end of April. Costco is 2 days away from being a movie scene....lots of items depleted to the floor....the bread aisle was completely empty....only a couple loves of dark rye left on the end. I got plenty of beer and wine though and lots of tri tip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 The LDS Church just announced the suspension of all Church gatherings worldwide. This is like waking up in the middle of a 50's science fiction movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Crimes Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Australia PM has announced a "recommendation" (no one will dare ignore that) that as of Monday there should be no planned unessential gatherings over 500 pers. It doesn't include schools, work or public transport. It pretty much means no sport, arts or large festivals- food, music, etc. Not likely to effect most Aussie SASS matches (I dont know of any that would make 500 apart from maybe the Aussie Nationals. Mohawk would know better about that than I). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Kris Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Uno and I usually go out to eat on Friday nights to celebrate the end of the week. Nothing fancy, just a night to not cook and get out of the house. Uno is now saying he doesn't want to do that for a while because of the virus. Sigh. Hopefully this will peak soon and things will calm back down again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago kidd Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Just so I’m clear. There closing a lot of public gatherings Disney, sports, schools for the next few weeks does that mean the corona virus has a life span.????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Adding to the confusion, Sunday, Walt Disney World is closing the parks in Florida thru the end of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Lud Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 It’s just to buy time....trying to slow the spread initially so they can manage the influx of patients and work on recovery and vaccine.....at least best reason I can think of as it will still exist during and after they close the world’s activities. It will continue to spread once April ends....not like will be gone by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailrider #896 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Most schools in Colorado closing until at least the end of the month (pending evaluation at that time). Since spring break occurs as part of the closure time, students won't lose much time. Only problem will be for parents who work who have younger kids they can't leave home alone. Also, no activities available, as they are also closed down! Grandson #2 works for a major league baseball team. Spring training cancelled, but he is staying in Arizona. Grandson #1 is driving from a mid-Western city for a possible job interview in Texas...maybe! He's NOT flying, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
