Shanghai Disneyland will close in effort to contain coronavirus

Posted | Contributed by Tekwardo

Shanghai Disneyland will close its gates on Saturday in an effort to stop the spread of a new SARS-like virus that has killed 26 people and sickened at least 881, primarily in China. It’s not known when the theme park may reopen.

I binged all 7 episodes yesterday. I feel dumber.

It doesn't move on for the people who died, in part, because some asymptomatic assholes read something online doubting the severity of this pandemic and decided to go out. Don't you see how yours, and everyone else's speculation carries weight?

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

Aww, crap!

I did it again.


I look several times a day. I live for it.

Sorry I ruined it all. 😭

I feel more like Sam Eagle with each passing year.

How could they possibly have more footage to share?


Orange Man wanted in on all the attention.

I haven't bothered watching Tiger King. At this point I don't really want to, just because seemingly EVERYONE has already.

I watched the Mandalorian after my Facebook feed was inundated with baby Yoda memes, and I thought it was lame. And I'm a Star Wars fan.

Two completely different genres, I know...but whatever.

They shot the show for like 4 years, so.

And just when I thought we were going all Kumbaya in this thread, I see this? Dude...you are so wrong. Because, math.

Germany is working on a plan to restart their economy after Covid. Phased in re-start, mandatory face masks in public (buses and trains, factories and public buildings), limits on public gatherings and rapid contact tracing. Want to be able to trace at least 80% of contacts of any infected person within 24 hours. Infected people and anyone coming in contact with them quarantined either at home or hotels. Goal to get R0 down to less than 1.

Shops would reopen. Schools in certain regions would as well. Strict social distancing measures would still remain in place. Strict border controls would be relaxed, Large events and private parties would not be permitted. Seems unlikely Europa opens.

Stay at home/social distancing order in place right now until at least April 19th. No time set for when they would be relaxed. Expectation is that pandemic will last until 2021.

Exactly my thoughts.

That's like saying everyone loves sex, but I'm not going to have it because everyone else keeps saying how awesome it is. I'm sure there is a graph for this somewhere.
