Well I kinda hate this thought. That time period is beyond the accurate prediction range for this current event though.

Disneyland and other large theme parks will not required to comply with California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s order against large gatherings to counter the spread of COVID-19.

Perhaps among the most outrageous things I've seen of this so far.
Get. Money. Out. Of. Politics.
Public funding for EVERY election.

Scum. Fucking. Baggery.

Who cares what damage you'll cause in the long term, gotta keep those doors open and make a few extra bucks right now!
No concept of consequences for their actions. Disgusting.

Those are literally just guaranteed infection places. Queues in Disneyland are commonly 1h or longer, if you stand next to an infected person you're essentially guaranteed to catch it. Same for a 2h movie or the grannies that spend literal hours in front of the same slot machine.
Good luck.

Funny we banned people coming in from Europe huh? Y'all better hurry up and return the favor

Are you kidding me?
From what I hear, kids aren't really coming down with this but they are EXTREMELY capable of carrying and transmitting the disease to other people. The guy on Rogan's podcast recently called them "germ reactors"
Bearing that in mind, isn't an amusement park among the first places that we close?

Trump’s move to ban European travel helps Europe way more than it does the US. If I were an EU country I wouldn’t let Americans in for quite some time.

Not sure how much of an effect getting money out of politics would have on this. Disneyland employs literally thousands of people on hourly wages, all of whom would be affected. I get the concern on the health side, but i wouldn't be so quick to blame profits for this.

Don't blame profits for the company profiting off not giving their employees adequate working conditions?

By this do you mean that Disney should pay their employees to stay home? would you care to elaborate?

If they payed their employees more those employees would be financially healthy enough to be able to afford not working for a month, instead of living from paycheck to paycheck.

Yes, that and also pay them for staying home.

I fully expect my shitty company to stay open. Even without a condition like this they've tried to keep stores open with just 2 people working there.

I think mass work stoppage and refusing to go back to work without major concessions from the capitalist class to protect us from this happening again is the smart play. Healthcare, PTO, UBI, etc...

Don't have time for all of that, but as an example, Trump has not cut CDC funding. Every spending bill he has signed has increased their budget, and not by small amounts. Yet this is still something going around. Whoever you are reading, you should stop. In 2018, the CDC funds were not replenished; right this second, he's planning on continuing CDC budget cuts for next year. Nearly every news source has been talking about this over the past 1-2 weeks. No, a particular fund was not replenished, if I recall it was mainly for Zika or something like that (memory is more foggy here). Not the whole agency. Moreover, as I said, what Congress has actually done, as opposed to the president's budget, is increase spending by, according to my memory, about 8%. Why dont we let the CDC speak here instead? FY 2018: click here for source wrote:
The fiscal year (FY) 2018 President’s Budget request for CDC and ATSDR includes a total funding level of $6,037,243,000 in discretionary budget authority and the Prevention and Public Health Fund (PPHF). This is an overall decrease of $1,222,431,000 below the FY 2017 Annualized Continuing Resolution (CR) level, which is a 17% reduction. The funding amounts and programmatic approaches described below are changes compared to the FY 2017 Annualized CR level. According to another document, the final 2018 budget was $6,824 + $801 million. FY 2019: click here for source wrote:
The fiscal year (FY) 2019 budget request for CDC and ATSDR includes a total funding level of $5,722,755,000 in discretionary budget authority and PHS Evaluation Funds. This is $1,372,185,000 below the FY 2018 Annualized Continuing Resolution (CR) level. The FY 2019 budget request maintains a number of programmatic reductions and eliminations proposed in the FY 2018 President’s Budget. According to another document, the final 2019 budget was $6,478 + $805 million. FY 2020: click here for source wrote:Total program funding request for CDC is $6.594billion. Compared to FY 2019, CDC’s budget reflects: $1.276 billion decrease in Budget Authority Apparently this concept is more difficult to understand than I thought. What is requested is not what is allocated. The president's excellent head of OMB has requested a cut to many departments. Those cuts have not and will never happen, because congress gives out the cash, not the president. I will find the CBO report later if you really need convincing, but the last spending bill substantially increases the CDC's budget. We're talking what actually happens, not what the President asks for.
Am I misreading the PDF I linked twice? It contains factual numbers that aren't labeled as pres requested, which per source also linked, was way lower.
I might not understand.
