Although Walt Disney Co, executives have remained mum on when the company's theme parks will reopen in the U.S., recent steps by the entertainment giant suggest it's preparing to unlock the doors soon.

One sign is that Disney Springs, the restaurant and shopping area inside Walt Disney World Resort outside Orlando, Florida, will reopen May 20. The move hints that Disney believes it can handle thousands of visitors on its property while ensuring no one will catch the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 disease. It also means that the resort hotel and theme park rides and water attractions could reopen next because those are the only two sections that will still be closed.

Another sign: Disney Shanghai Resort welcoming back visitors May 11. Reserve tickets in China have already sold out, with some days' slots going within minutes.

AP Exclusive: Top White House officials buried CDC report


The decision to shelve detailed advice from the nation’s top disease control experts for reopening communities during the coronavirus pandemic came from the highest levels of the White House, according to internal government emails obtained by The Associated Press.

The files also show that after the AP reported Thursday that the guidance document had been buried, the Trump administration ordered key parts of it to be fast-tracked for approval.

The trove of emails show the nation’s top public health experts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention spending weeks working on guidance to help the country deal with a public health emergency, only to see their work quashed by political appointees with little explanation.

@Teresa,

The image was directed toward public folks, not health workers of which some are my close personal contacts and not directed at families of victims. But you have no problem using stressed out health workers or families to try and shame someone right?

I made a post about the fallacy of healthy people wearing masks, in public. Even Dr. Fauci, who I assume you respect says healthy folks should not be wearing masks. He said it on 60 Minutes, CBS (which you have to admit is a “trusted source”).

Dr. Fauci himself said on CBS 60 MINUTES that people should not be wearing masks.

I get what he's saying about wearing masks. This was earlier when we needed to focus on staying home and not depend on masks for protecting us. He didn't want America to put on a mask and resume all activities as usual. Masks were hard to come by.

If you watch Dr. Anthony Fauci's interviews, you can learn a lot of very simple and basic facts about the pandemic and how we can protect ourselves. A very down to earth, pragmatic man. My guess is that he knows our response to the coronavirus as a nation has been less than ideal. We are now left with masks and disinfectant as part of our ongoing lives.

By the way my mask meme wasn't about you or for you. It is about those who believe protecting others is not necessary.
