Anyone concerned about the Coronavirus in WDW ?

I think there are many news sources. If someone is watching or reading from a source that "likes to cause panic" maybe it's time to select a new source.
Extremists are rarely helpful in most situations.

Sure. Stop acting like it doesn't happen.

I can't decide if this is funny or scary, or both. Especially at :35.

It looks like a Saturday Night Live skit.
Totally bizarre that it's a real interview.

So I am sitting in a garage customer waiting area and just read all the news about the coronavirus today and apparently it is a partisan hoax created just to damage one political party. What the heck? This whole time I thought it was real. Sheesh.

Not what he said at all.

That interview was weird on so many levels I just have no words. .

OMG, and he is sharing the bottle of water with his kid. I hope the cough is just coincidental.

To me, we can’t trust numbers from China. Once we have more data from the free world, we will know what we are dealing with.

That being said, my company just suspended international travel. You have to get approval from the president of your division. Domestic travel is not banned yet, but they encourage using technology if possible. I have 3 trips scheduled in March. Clorox wipes, here I come!

FWIW - the people that are blaming the media. If you were to look back at news articles in December, the news media and drs/cdc etc were trying very hard for people to pay attention to the normal flu - talking about how it was affecting children harder this year and pleading with people to still get vaccinated. They did and still are giving lots of attention to the regular flu, its just the general public typically ignores news about the flu -because its "just the flu".

I don't think the media is trying to make money off of coronovirus just because you have to pay to read certain websites. Those news sites are always behind a paywall, regardless of the story. It's because they are a business and need to make money somehow to pay their bills and salaries of their employees.

Ignore the conspiracy nutters.

Jeepers, another case in Cook County. No other info. Chicago is Cook County. Where I live. Blech. Hopefully doesnt get worse.

Stick to AP and Reuters. Skip Fox and CNN.

Good advice in general, not just for Covid-19.

Don't panic.

I am there next week. Wondering now if it’s worth it...

 

[Farro]

Don't panic.

Oh thank you! I'm not.

My only worry is being a carrier without knowing and giving to my parents or sister with lupus. All 3 that I'm seeing tomorrow!

I think it will be fine! We already had 2 cases earlier.

Amazon has told all employees to avoid both domestic and international travel. My wife’s company just cancelled a big domestic conference scheduled for a few weeks from now.

Because of our inability to adequately test, we most likely already have multiple outbreaks throughout the US, but no one knows yet. I'm sure we'll get a sudden spike some time over the next two months.
