    Going to pickup a couple Ban-Mi fire sandwiches to go with the Coronas. Should be an amazing natural virus deterrent.

    There are 6 cases within 50 miles of where I live. My employer has discussed work from home measures but hasn't officially sent out the word.

    I already work from home one day a week and am fully prepared to handle that scenario, just becoming impatient. When I make my commute I get closer to the city center and the population increases drastically. I really don't want to head over to this side of town anymore.

    I'm not overly paranoid but I would like to take my own measures as I see fit within reason.

    State governments will declare a state of emergency because many states have provisions in the laws that if a state of emergency is declared, funding and resources need a lot less red tape to get allocated where they are needed quickly.

    It's not a panic move, it's just a move that will allow a government to respond in quicker fashion than it would under normal circumstances.

    That's all.

    Will be an interesting 30 days. I can understand people, but anything from Europe (cars, beer, etc.) will be stopped.

    I listened to it again, he mentioned these restrictions will also apply to cargo and trade as they get "approval".

    They better not do that.......include goods. The virus doesn't live very long on most surfaces or remain stable......has something to do with hydrogen bonds:

    https://www.marketwatch.com/story/deadly-viruses-are-no-match-for-plain-old-soap-heres-the-science-behind-it-2020-03-08

    "Now it is time to introduce a powerful supramolecular chemistry concept that effectively says: Similar molecules appear to interact more strongly with each other than dissimilar ones. Wood, fabric and skin interact fairly strongly with viruses.

    Contrast this with steel, porcelain and at least some plastics, such as Teflon. The surface structure also matters. The flatter the surface, the less the virus will “stick” to the surface. Rougher surfaces can actually pull the virus apart.

    So why are surfaces different? The virus is held together by a combination of hydrogen bonds (like those in water) and hydrophilic, or “fat-like,” interactions. The surface of fibers or wood, for instance, can form a lot of hydrogen bonds with the virus.

    In contrast, steel, porcelain or Teflon do not form much of a hydrogen bond with the virus. So the virus is not strongly bound to those surfaces and is quite stable.

    For how long does the virus stay active? It depends. The novel coronavirus is thought to stay active on favorable surfaces for hours, possibly a day. What makes the virus less stable? Moisture (“dissolves”), sunlight (UV light) and heat (molecular motions).

    The skin is an ideal surface for a virus. It is organic, of course, and the proteins and fatty acids in the dead cells on the surface interact with the virus through both hydrogen bonds and the “fat-like” hydrophilic interactions.

    So when you touch a steel surface with a virus particle on it, it will stick to your skin and, hence, get transferred on to your hands. But you are not (yet) infected. If you touch your face, though, the virus can get transferred."

    This is really starting to look like a bloodbath in the markets. The possibility of us testing the late 2018 lows doesn't seem to farfetched, which would be about another 10% drop from here.

    China is now sending supplies and providing technical assistance to Italy to get their epidemic leveled out. That includes sending experts, massive amounts of protective gear, and ventilators, and helps explain why the Italian government has finally locked down in a specific manner what they should have locked down a couple weeks ago.
