    It is amazing the chaotic decision tree that is being climbed with this virus.  Compared exactly to the novel H1N1 just a decade ago.  Japan's PM closing of schools was basically counter intuitive and without direction from Health Officials.   Just sorta of was like, "Hey, close the schools."   And meanwhile is now backtracking.

    I think the message that we all need to really focus on is to remain calm and use common sense.  Focus on spreading 4-5 key thing to know and focus on while in public, such as ...

    * If sick, wear a mask if in contact with others.  Remain as isolated as possible until healthy

    * Keep aware of your hands in public.  

    * Wash your hands

    If it gets bad in the future then we can worry about more (i'm sure very smart professionals are hard at work right now), but for now the best way to stop spread is to follow simple rules.

    And most importantly, just live your life

    Excellent advice, Jason.  Also a good idea to keep one's fingers out of the nose, mouth, eyes.

    And go out and spend, spend, spend, spend it all! Now is the time! You can’t take it with you! Cash out! Buy that house, car, fur coat, diamond necklace, boat, humvee or missile silo  condo! Live people, live! The end is nigh!

    Relax folks.  This from Johns Hopkins:

    "As of Feb. 28, 2020, the flu is showing much more of an impact on Americans than COVID-19."

    The mortality rate of the Kung Flu is significantly higher than the flu.

    It’s simply wise to be informed and take precautions when able. That does not equate to panic. Just common sense, like with the flu or simple hygiene.

    That's not good. That's my local hospital. Lots of people freaking out around here. Big run on Costco yesterday and today. Crazy.

  • I went out this afternoon and stocked up on some stuff. Just stuff like canned chicken noodle soup and vegetables. Wouldn’t hurt to have a supply in the case a situation actually arises where it’s really unsafe to leave the house. And if that doesn’t happen, then I’ll have some supply in the event of some future catastrophe. If none ever comes, I only wasted a hundred dollars.

    Coronavirus is going to disproportionately affect the elderly.

    Are we finally going to see that trickle down economics we were promised?
