True. Or maybe she's trained in falling elevators, so she knows what she's screaming about.

Another analogy; guy falls off a 20 story building. At the 10th floor, he says, "So far, so good"

I'm with you, I believe in prudence, not panic, but I think those who are recommending prudence may be better informed than we are. Some confuse prudent measures with panic. My son is a doctor, and he has called twice this week to stress how serious this is, and that we are still in the early stages. Smart people are giving us advice, that I plan to follow. Others may choose a different course of action.

Well said Unreal. The last 2 days have been exhausting at work trying to figure out how to deal with all of the restrictions, anxiety, slow down in business, employees worried about other employees returning from vacation abroad and bringing Covid-19 to the office, calls about family members quarantined, customers asking for our written Pandemic plan...I’m on my second whiskey...

Use cars for an example:

3,250 killed daily, around 100,000 injured-disabled every day.

Maybe 100 years ago, this virus would be a different story.

Restrict travel from heavily infected areas. Airlines need to take the big hit, along with other businesses like hotels, cruises. Not too late to short travel related companies.

Things will be back to normal in 4 to 5 months, or less.

Unconfirmed of course, but heard a rumor the President is declaring a state of emergency at 3 pm today. Not sure if that will happen, or what it means if it does.
