<p>Variety added, &#8220;Disney <a href="https://variety.com/2020/biz/asia/shanghai-disneyland-closes-china-virus-outbreak-1203478170/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">closed its parks in Shanghai and Hong Kong</a> in January, and has also temporarily closed its parks in Japan as well.

Disney reported that it could lose $280 million in revenues due to closures in Shanghai and Hong Kong alone.&#8221;</p>
<p>As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/california-announces-severe-restrictions-on-events-gatherings">The Daily Wire</a> reported on Thursday, on Wednesday evening, California governor Gavin Newsom announced the state would take action regarding the coronavirus in a <a href="https://twitter.com/jessemelgar/status/1237982304733024256?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1237982304733024256&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.businessinsider.com%2Fcalifornia-bans-gatherings-250-prevent-coronavirus-six-foot-spacing-rule-2020-3">press release:</a></p>
<blockquote><p>Governor Gavin Newsom announced that California public health officials this evening issued an updated policy on gatherings to protect public health and slow the spread of COVID-19. The state’s public health experts have determined that gatherings should be postponed or canceled across the state until at least the end of March. Non-essential gatherings must be limited to no more than 250 people, while smaller events can proceed only if the organizers can implement social distancing of 6 feet per person. Gatherings of individuals who are at higher risk for severe illness for COVID-19 should be limited to no more than 10 people, while also following social distancing guidelines.</p></blockquote>
<p>Newsom added, “Changing our actions for a short period of time will save the life of one or more people you know.That’s the choice before us. Each of us has extraordinary power to slow the spread of this disease. Not holding that concert or community event can have cascading effects — saving dozens of lives and preserving critical health care resources that your family may need a month from now. The people in our lives who are most at risk — seniors and those with underlying health conditions — are depending on all of us to make the right choice.”</p>
