Couple that with the fact that they were likely getting a lot of cancellations anyway, and it probably makes business sense, too.
We live in Orlando and are pass holders to Disney World. I thought the same thing, so I logged onto the app today, a Thursday, at around 1pm to check wait times. Every good ride in multiple parks was a 1-2 hour wait. I about fell over when I saw they were that busy.

And right on cue, my gym just canceled all fitness classes. I'll be inquiring later today about a refund for this month's membership fees.

gw3971On duty now. Multiple fights at the Costco over toilet paper, water, and parking. Not an empty parking space here. Incredible.

PowerSurgeA lot of people in this nation have gone full God Damn retard. Like I said in another thread, we couldn’t fight and win another war like WWII. This panic is fueled by selfishness when you scratch the surface and get to the meat of the situation.

maladatI'll put this graphic back up again.
The situation in the most affected areas of Italy right now is that there are more critically ill patients that need ICU care than there physically is ICU space in the hospitals. They are in the area above the dotted line. That means that some people who need ICU care aren't getting it (and can't, and won't) and will have statistically worse outcomes than those who receive proper care (not to mention that those who need ICU care for reasons other than coronavirus may not be able to get it, either). That fact was used in this thread as a cute anti-socialist meme, but it is a legitimate concern that the same thing could happen here in the US, and the measures being taken now are in an effort to make sure that doesn't happen.
Again, the point is not that there is a huge crisis in the United States RIGHT NOW... it is to try to prevent a crisis from occurring a month or two or three from now.

P220 SmudgeWell, Gov Inslee has closed schools in our county and two others through April 27th. Waiting to see what specific plan of action our school district plans to take, but classes have to be ended by Tuesday.

cheesegritsOur state Supreme Court has suspended jury trials in one of our counties. For non-jury trials, they're limiting who may attend. They've told only essential personnel to report to work at the courthouse.
I didn't expect this particular development so soon.
