Anyone concerned about the Coronavirus in WDW ?

[erc]

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.

The misinformation/denials from the administration is probably the most dangerous thing about the virus to the US.

I'd be more concerned about a cruise where they lock you up in your cabin if anyone on the boat get sick. It's not like Disney would lock you on "It's a small world".

Well I will be on a Disney cruise in April so fingers crossed.

That’s ridiculous.
This isn’t even close to the issues created by the common flu. No need for ANY hysteria. At all.

Let’s lock a few people in a mission to Mars vehicle. Just to be safe....

Where do you see hysteria? The flu has been around for along time. COVID-19 is new. We need to be able to rely on our government agencies to provide us with up-to-date, accurate information.

That’s a fun thought process. If you had to be locked into a Disney ride, what would it be...

It's sad to think that ANY person or party would be trying to skew information to suit their political objectives. That IS Orwellian. And, that we even have to question whether we are getting accurate information from our government is pathetic.

What else is there to say? There is less than what 16 cases thus far here. If that .... wash your hands. Same as any other flu like illness. There isn’t anything to say about it here. Because it’s basically a non issue. Even in a nation of a billion ,China. Only what 10,000 has it. That’s less than .01 percent. And of that. 98% will survive.
All but one of the cases in the US. Were folks coming from China.

Does Safari count?

Oh heck PotC of course. As long as there was real rum in some of those scenes.

 

[Disneypro1]

Honestly. I think Splash would be the best one... I could spend a few weeks in there.... just feed me.

Leave March 6 with student tour group
Fingers crossed

We leave Mar 4 with a group of 14. Very nervous but hopefully the parks will be less crowded than expected?

Here’s some data. It’s tracking to be 100x worse than the swine flu from 2009.

Did you just become an American citizen?
Questioning the info coming from the gov't is as old as time.

Early prevention of transmission is critical in stopping a gobal pandemic. When there are small numbers is the ONLY time you can stop it or at least drastically reduce it's effect. So in short, this is the time for action.

Sure about that?

Haunted Mansion for me! I'll stay forever.
