2. I just canceled a trip there. Was supposed to head out Sunday to make some updates

We were discussing if I was going to stay home and work remotely or if we were just going to postpone the trip. Sounds like we’re just gonna postpone it

[Roland99]

3. CMs will still be paid during the closure

Good to see that

Hotels closing starting Monday

I imagine Universal and Sea World and Six Flags won’t be far behind

4. And Knotts

7. Oh. Did they?

8. Not yet

they're still evaluating. Supposedly Universal will not be closing, though.

10. I paid for tickets to Hamilton at the Pantages in Hollywood for my nephew and his wife.

He was SO excited about going. Their tickets were this Sunday. All March performances have been canceled just announced in the last hour.

12. that sucks....

reading about all sorts of plans falling through...but what are ya gonna do. Seems like it all started with the Indian Wells tennis tournament, which is our big thing every year. Prudent decisions though....

6. Wonder how many Magats will have their spring break break plans ruined for a "hoax"

11. I guess it's only a matter of time before Disney World closes here.

Hope the CM get paid here as well.
