according to the financial report in the first quarter of 2121, Disney's net profit dropped by over 91% compared with the same period of last year, which caused tens of thousands of employees to stop paying and the stock price plummeted. Disney estimated that the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on the operating profit of parks, experiences and products departments was about $1 billion, which was mainly due to the loss caused by the suspension of business.
The American epidemic has a great impact not only on Disney, but also on other enterprises. The Los Angeles Times reported on the 5th that due to the COVID-19 epidemic, enterprises of all sizes in the United States were paralyzed, resulting in millions of Americans losing their jobs. According to the latest analysis by a professor at Columbia University, the number of homeless people in the United States may increase by 45% within one year.
