We should be aware and careful, but paranoia is getting crazy.

**I looked into this last one a little because I was curious how and when the government could step in and freeze an entire stock market. Basically;
“[. . .] The [fail safe] system is meant to stop stocks in free-fall when they threaten to “exhaust market liquidity,” according to the NYSE.
Circuit breaker rules, [. . .] stipulate that a single-day, 7 percent decline in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index triggers a forced 15-minute halt on trading. [. . .] A 20 percent decline would close markets for the day.”

I’m usually pretty pragmatic when it comes to extremes and conspiracies don’t impress me. I don’t think Armageddon is around the corner, but it’s become pretty apparent that this isn’t going to simply, “blow over” any time soon.

It’s going to get worse before it gets better.

I dunno about anyone else, but I'm pretty excited about this coronavirus.

It's bringing around some much needed changes in the world.

It kills and cripples economies indiscriminately.
China didn't care what ramifications it would have outside it's borders and left it spread, perhaps intentionally.
Making less money and/or losing your job, maybe loved ones probably won't be as exciting as you think.
Generally speaking the lower you are the economic chain, the worse is your lot... personally I'm feeling pretty boned.

Spring break is starting a week early at my alma mater.

I've been surrounded!!!

It’s down the street from me now, literally. Some guy came back to DFW from California recently and tested positive today.
I wish I could say I was surprised.

Tout le monde panique!

Someone tested positive in Louisville Ky this past weekend.

Just that one could've infected dozens, even hundreds of others.
Bad touch... it's probably out of control now in the US.
Give it a week to shake out.


See how this works?
Yeah just stay at home for 2 weeks, forget your job.
Here hundreds were self quarantined in one shot.
Many will ignore self quarantine if they can especially after the infection subsides.
