they also own disney world and that's a place you actually have to go to with large crowds and what's the news nowthey're not going to maybe even be able to open up until potentially 2021. so that's huge losses for elements of the disney franchise. we'll see how they deal with that. but once -- it gets bac back tos idea that were you talking to mark about. until we get the economy reopened, all of these kind of businesses that depend on customers are in really bad shape. it's why the president cannot slip past may 1st for a deadline in terms of getting the economy reopened in my opinion or else you're going to see a lot of economic damage. cheryl: i know what you're talking about with disney theme parks and they talked about temperature checks, about getting essential workers back into the parks but obviously americans are going to need some disneyland and disney world and a lot of other things when this is all over. light at the end of the continue, right, guys -- tunnel, right, guys. we'll see you in a little bit. coming up a two-pete, forbes unveiling the list of youngest self-made billionaires
