Disney drops 3% after Wuhan coronavirus forces closure of Shanghai and Hong Kong theme parks

This article may relate to the shares, however I am concerned for Hong Kong Disney.  It was very quiet when we were there, even a Sunday when some shows or character lines filled but overall lines weren't high.  They still have considerable Halloween merchandise out, the Christmas biscuit tins were everywhere (on special as the best-before date was near).  People who'd been there previous years advised this years CNY was downscaled considerably, probably due to the very low visitation.  I just hope they can recover as it's a really great park and the hotels are wonderful.

Swine flu, Bird flu, SARS,..
I feel like Disney have too much invested and can ride out a period like this. That said, my eyes have turned to Tokyo as a place to visit next.
