Even better... the price for the ocean cruise of your dreams will never be lower than right now.

Depends on who you book with. Both Princess and Viking have canceled operations. Princess, Holland America, and Royal Caribbean are owned by the same parent company. While the latter two have not yet announced suspensions/cancellations, it’s only a matter of time.

So an infected bio-lab employee...

Yep, at least that was the story after no one believed the wet market being the culprit. (Initially the locals at the market didn't take too kindly to being labeled as the infection vector. The market was closed for disinfection, reopened, and finally closed for good, when the virus took hold of Wuhan.)

Also @Cookie_ , China is trying to shift blame to the US for the Corona Virus. Look at what people do, not what they say.

Highly recommend Tuesday's Joe Rogan podcast featuring Michael Osterholm. He's local to us here in MInnesota (U of M) and is 'the' go-to-guy when it comes to infectious disease.

Are you SURE you cannot get Coronavirus by listening to a podcast? Latest word is that it has a 110% mortality rate!

Washington State just shut down all K-12 Schools until April 27th in 3 counties- Pierce (JBLM is in Pierce County), Snohomish (nothing is really there) and King (Seattle is there).

Inslee orders all private, public K-12 schools in King, Pierce, Snohomish counties to close through April 24 due to coronavirus concerns

There are rumors (no link; these are literally rumors, no need to furiously youtube and google search these claims) that state officials are considering banning travel in and out of Washington State.

My dad (Pierce County) told me same this morning but not sure of his source.

What is Downtown Disney? It's the one place that they mention keeping open.

Call me crazy, but that sounds like an open air market.

Again, I'm the one thinking we are blowing it out proportion.

Downtown Disney is a collection of various restaurants, pubs, and gift shops. There’s one found just outside Walt Disney World, also.

You can now add Disney World, Disneyland Paris, and Disney Cruise Lines to the list, along with Universal. Orlando is going to take a fiscal hit on this, just in lost taxes and resort fees.

Which is kind of funny because it is in Orlando's interests to burn through this now before the summer starts. Right now the parks are pretty much (or would be) Brazilians, Asians, and school groups.

You have a good point there. Although, spring break for K-12 schools across much of America will be coming up soon. I wonder how many of those families bought travel insurance.
