This doesn't specify theme parks, but bad news for Disney Land. No sporting events or concerts in CA until vaccine or therapeutic treatment https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2020-04-28/california-newsom-four-phase-plan-reopen-state-concerts

Given that the first trials most drugs will experience will be from their manufacturer, this is a bad take. The biggest story was that it had a notable improvement upon the majority of patients. The two takeaways are: we have a drug that does something so we can now try and identify what about it is successful and refine the process further, and even if first thing doesn't yield much, if further trials proves the drug is good to go, we can at least have SOMETHING to help save some lives vs thoughts, prayers, and ventilators. I'm all for being pessimistic, but I dunno if I can stomach to try and poopoo every ray of light during this

Remdesivir led to a 30% reduction in recovery time, and a drop in mortality rate from 8% to 6%. It's a good start, but not exactly a home run either. Hopefully they can amplify what works with the drug and lead to a better solution for treatment while we wait for a vaccine.

Here's not a bad take: it has massive interactions with a ton of common medications from anti-depressants to hypertension treatments. It's going to take out a Ton of people who would need to take it.

Now that remdesivir has emergency approval, questions have turned to its pricing. While the cost of producing a 10-day course of the drug is estimated at $9.32, according to the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review, it could be priced at $4,500 or more.

Why'd the Epcot attractions posters have to be $90. Also why'd they release the Maelstrom poster on a day the site would be hammered by Star Wars nerds.

Absolutely blows my mind they limited them to 100 each FWIW this person is doing all of them, I'm sure through some dumb method, but the review photos actually don't look half bad. Maybe I'll bite the bullet and order one just to check the quality. https://www.etsy.com/listing/745781674/maelstrom-poster-epcot-poster-norway Tim Whatley fucked around with this message at 17:27 on May 5, 2020 |

I tipsy-ordered a bunch of Disney scented wax melts from Etsy and they're great, but an unforeseen consequence is my Pavlovian response of really really really really wishing I were at the Poly right now. Ah well, if I close my eyes I can pretend...

Some insider* info ahead of Disney's quarterly earnings announcement today: quote:3. Disney is still looking at an August reopening for Magic Kingdom and the MK resorts. There are some important data sets that are being monitored. First, Disney is watching early states with populous areas to see if there is a spike in cases. States that are being closely monitored include Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Colorado, and Texas. Second, there's an important statistic that Disney is actively researching: chance of transmission for mask-to-mask. Currently, the number Disney has is 1.5%. That is, with a standard (not N95 or higher) mask, the chance of two adults transmitting the virus while both wear a mask is 1.5%. That's currently too high to reopen the parks safely. At that rate, you have a 1/67 chance of contracting the virus when in close proximity with others, and a theme park features far more than 67 close interactions in a single day, even if social distancing and 50% capacity is active. If just one person is contagious then, you have a super spread situation at MK. Another serious issue to reopening the parks prior to August is that children present a logistical problem to keeping masks on in an efficient manner. And even if you do wear masks all day with no problems, Alannah Hall-Smith has been adamant that putting guests in July/August heat with a requirement to wear masks is a recipe for disaster. What are you going to do if you have people passing out from heat while wearing a mask? What are you going to do if the temperature is 98 and you can't let people in many of your indoor areas? So just know that while the target might be August, there's a real chance that this goes longer. *not vetted by me personally

Sorry, mobile posting and I forgot: https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/what-to-watch-going-into-the-earnings-report.964635/ Also enjoy this person's reply: quote:If they wait until August to reopen the parks, I will start a class action lawsuit with any fellow shareholders willing to join me. They have a fiduciary responsibility to reopen as soon as it is safe and possible. I understand a month or two closure. But no DL for the rest of the year? Ridiculous!

Shanghai Disney will reopen May 11 Disney also just provided a ton of bullet points of things they're looking to do to open domestic parks. https://twitter.com/ScottGustin/status/1257776235213737984 10% loss of parks revenue vs LY which is like a billion dollars. That's actually not that bad, but hold onto your butts in Q3.

Temperature Checks in Florida August heat/humidity probably won't work all that well. There are mounting signs parts of Disney Springs and CityWalk will start opening up maybe early as next week (Third party locations, not Universal/Disney Owned locations). SeaWorld/Busch just bumped up every annual passholder one tier higher in benefits. (This means I now can go to Busch Williamsburg, SeaWorld San Diego, or SeaWorld San Antonio if somehow I go there before it expires) The quarterly earnings call gave the reason for all the stopped construction at Disney as mostly a cash/CapEx savings decision, this may wind up cancelling or reducing a lot of construction projects that aren't already nearly complete.

Not an expert whose read into the facts, but I imagine that's the 'cost' of lack of revenue (i.e. The $ they could have made under typical operations) plus the cost of cast retention.

Paris’ projects in the Studios park are absolutely getting cut. I think its version of Galaxy’s Edge wasn’t going to be finished for at least 3 years and I’m fuzzy on if it even would include Rise. That park is such a mess. Edit: concept art showed the land wouldn’t have Smuggler’s Run which be alright but still, getting half of a land four years after the States sums up Paris well.
