Didn't help that the WDW Prez decided to make a visit, which only made it more of a cluster. He put himself and everyone else at risk by creating that situation.
And yeah, the parks should've closed the day they announced the closure if it was that much of an emergency (which it is), but they had to squeeze out every last penny they could and they also turned DHS into a mess of CPs as today was the one and only day of the spring CP Program that they were unblocked from going to the park as a guest. Again, a decision that I think Josh was making to make CPs happy when it's a crappy situation, but he shouldn't have been encouraging them going to the parks for their own good.

On one hand, the fact that they're actually screening people coming back from other countries is a good thing. On the other hand, that's just an unacceptable situation and tbh, they all should be getting TESTED, not just screened. As we know, you can pass a screening, but come up positive on a test for COVID-19 as you can have the disease for quite some time without showing any signs.

And sit down restaurants and bars across the country. Already shut down in several states.

NY doing this first was a big swing. My restaurant/cafe in Maine is closed through next week now at least. Restaurant is comping staff with pay (along with the average amount we make in tips as at this bakery its literally 1/2 my salary) and they will do this for up to a month if necessary. After that month they essentially said all bets are off as we are all in un-watered territory here and will continue to monitor as things progress. So I'm super thankful, but I fear for so, so many jobs.

When the NBA cancelled the season last Wednesday evening I think that should have put every single person on notice. Shouldn't have been open this weekend, especially for Universal with TWO concerts, after their original acts already cancelled!

Just got a call from my salon and they're closing for two weeks so shaggy Joe look it is.
Two weeks feels like the minimum now, honestly I think we'll go till early May.

I personally think possibly Memorial Day at the earliest, probably June...with CDC saying an 8 week period of 50 people or less...that puts us at mid-May.
I think it'll be a bad look if the parks open as soon as the period ends given how readily germs can spread in their locations...couple that with Disney losing their entire college program staff with no training period for the next batch...
It's unprecedented...this whole thing is wild.

Trump can't ever be right... ABC is trying to make him look bad for requiring medical screening? Obviously it'll cause a line and a back up. How stupid.

You can't fault any business for being hesitant to shut down. This is just a crazy scenario we are dealing with here. This is going to put a lot of smaller companies out of business and even larger ones are going to take major hits. Theres a lot more to this than just medical concerns.
Very surreal:
