I was thinking. If my wife and I got stuck on a Cruise ship in a 10x13 cabin and had to be quarantined for 14 days in that cabin, one of us isn't going to make it.
Once got stuck on the highway....not moving....for close to 8 hours or so. Waiting for a hazmat crash to get cleaned up. No exits to get to. Highway Patrol wouldn’t allow turn arounds. No shops or restaurants to go to.
I think me and the wife broke up and got back together three times sitting there.

Here in NC we are about to shut it down - all of it, it seems.

Any way to slow the spread buys us much needed time. The best thing for the economy is to shut the county down, take the short term economic hit, and let the doctors do their thing. Then we can pick it back up.

Found something interesting. Good read makes perfect sense.
Agree and disagree. I think the media has distorted factual evidence by not publishing well researched articles. They're basically publishing articles for clicks.

Whether the media is doing it or not to undermine the Administration is irrelevant. The media always loves to publish anything for clicks. Think Ebola scare during the Obama administration. Or SARS during the Bush Presidency.

The media profiteers from fear.

I guess it was just a matter of time before this kind of nonsense was introduced. Lets try and keep the politics out of this thread, ... rather than fixing the blame at the moment, lets first try to fix the problem.

Nevada has 2 reported cases. I just got a call from one of my customers they make most of the slot machines in the world. They're shutting down indefinitely.

2 cases in the state

Didn't someone around here say they were going to jump back into the market today ? Sure hope not.

Dow -2,352.60 (-9.99%)
Nasdaq -750.25 (-9.43%)
S&P -260.74 (-9.51%)


I am taking a beating, but planning on dropping major money back in to the market in a month or so

Not to make light of relationships, but I wouldn't be surprised to hear about a spike in divorces & break-ups in the coming months. With schools closing along with workplace adjustments which may have couples and children spending way more time together than ever anticipated, strains are likely to appear.
