You realize in the US alone this flu season, roughly 3,000 deaths a month have occurred - with the CDC projection being approximately 30,000 this flu season alone. Just in the United States. The CDC estimates that annually, the flu kills between 290,000 - 650,000 globally. These figures are much more devastating than the panic driven numbers of COVID-19.

swine flu had a larger death rate worldwide swine flu killed 12,000 just in the US and was WORSE because it didn’t solely target the elderly; meaning children were at a much larger risk. Yet, no school closures and no one cared. You can try and spin it how you want but stats do not lie. The Coronavirus is not anymore dangerous than the Swine flu was and has the SAME fatality rate for the first 6 months of the disease and we now know this started back in 2019. No one gave two craps about the Swine flu. But please continue to panic and cause hysteria that’s going to be great for our young working class, part-time employees, and low income. The FIRST to be impacted by the huge decline in our economy.
Let's stick to Disney please.Just found out a quarantined person in my area had many visitors. The person seem to think it was ok because he never left the house. He also had a child staying with him that was going to school.
I think people on this board for the most part will start rescheduling for May/June pretty quickly. I think overall most people won’t reschedule at all. They will wait until they feel better about the economy before they do anything.I wonder when people will reschedule for? When will this be over? May/June may be too soon.
Crazy times. It is going to be a rough year or two (everywhere .. not just at Disney World)
now it show for restaurants that have to call to cancel reservation ?
The population of Ohio is 11 million. 100,000 does not mean everyone has it. It can still be slowed.If 100,000 people in Ohio already have the virus.....there is no slowing the spread. That means millions of Americans are already exposed. And within the next 2-4 weeks, the hospitals will blow up.
If that is a true number, then the spread has already happened.
Let's stick to Disney please.
How about we all try and work together and keep this thread on topic and informative.And how about a ban on the ignorant comments saying this is all media frenzy and no big deal and how much worse every thing else is?

That's what I'm seeing.
I'm hoping they make tickets with dates during the closure good for anytime. Right now it would cost me $100 to change.
I have a trip planned in June (planned well before this mess) .. I feel even THAT is in jeopardy now for a variety of reasons .. either Disney will still be closed -- or will be "half" open and I won't want to go .. or my son's school (which will inevitably be cancelled) will have make up days that dig into that vacation.I think people on this board for the most part will start rescheduling for May/June pretty quickly.

You should cancel your flight. Regardless of when it actually closes, the chaos has been getting exponentially worse every day. You could get stuck and be unable to fly back home.We are supposed to fly down for the weekend tomorrow. I’m seeing Parks closed at COB Sunday and I’ve also seen closed Saturday. Can someone please confirm?
You'll still be expecting in the morning
