Shanghai Disney Resort Set to Partially Reopen Monday

https://variety.com/2020/biz/news/shanghai-disney-resort-disneyland-reopen-china-coronavirus-1203527299/amp/

The Shanghai Disney Resort said it will reopen some of the shopping, dining and entertainment options on Monday, though the main theme park will remain closed to prevent further spread of the coronavirus.

The move is the “first step of a phased reopening,” it said in a statement posted Monday to its website. The resort has been closed since January 25.

Certain facilities at Disneytown, Wishing Star Park, and the Shanghai Disneyland Hotel will operate with limited capacity and at reduced hours, and parking lots will reopen, the resort said. The Disneyland theme park itself will stay shut as the park “continue[s] to closely monitor health and safety conditions.”

Visitors will be required to wear masks during their entire time within the Disney Resort area, submit to temperature screenings upon arrival, and “present their Health QR code” when entering dining areas.


A sign of a return, slowly, to normalcy in China?

And this, too??


BS rhetoric like this is why Bernie Sanders will not get the nomination. His hateful and divisive rhetoric would not galvanize the opposition against trump and we’d have four more years of #TraitorTrump

Trump Org has lost its exclusive rights to a prized asset - the Trump name - for real estate/golf

EXC: The Trump Org has lost its exclusive rights to one of its prized assets - the Trump name - for real estate development & golf accessories after an EU ruling. Filings by its attorneys show a sharp fall in golf biz at POTUS's Turnberry resort. Thread

Scotland on Sunday has learned that an official European Union agency has issued a series of far-reaching decisions which experts believe will impact on the Trump Organisation’s ability to enforce its rights over numerous products and services associated with the Trump brand.

The decisions could potentially open the door for any other third party to use - and monetise - the Trump name in Europe for the likes of golf equipment, and the construction, management and sale of commercial and residential properties.

One leading intellectual property expert said if a slew of other Trump trademarks currently being challenged were revoked, it would amount to “a significant restriction of its registered rights in the European Union.”


Omg. That would be hilarious!!

I just landed at JFK after reporting on #coronavirus in Milan and Lombardy —the epicenter of Italy’s outbreak— for
@vicenews
. I walked right through US customs. They didn’t ask me where in Italy I went or if I came into contact with sick people. They didn’t ask me anything.


And even if they had asked, they wouldn’t have the resources necessary to test anyone for #coronavirus coming from there because trump, pence and the entire traitor gop are criminally negligent and incompetent
