Cheap flights all over the place, too. Good time to Travel.

Totally. I was going to upgrade myself to first today but on a 14 seat FC cabin to Pittsburgh not one was sold. As I was number one on the list I got a freebie.

Probably not going to last long as all the major airlines use a passenger load algorithm and are already announcing cuts to routes to keep aircraft full.

Spring officially begins in eight days.
I somehow don't see this resolving itself in the next twelve weeks.

Then it's summer.

I've decided I'm not going with the head in the sand crowd on this.

What have you got to lose, right?
Being careful might keep you well, even if it turns out to be nothing.

Except
ya got no money to buy anything with because the market is tanked.

And why should we not go to work?? I'm salary and can stay home as long as I want but work is work. Now I have a couple of the regulars that have called in to say they will be out a few days because they have a cold but they are the ones who are out all the time. Too much snow- out, too much rain- out, any reason they are out and it reflects in their yearly reviews.

I had a room on the strip overlooking the Belligio fountains and it was $79.00 a night.
Hotels in Vegas are all cheap all the time. Food too.
They want your coin on the tables.

The Bellagio was the nicest hotel I was ever kicked out of.

a reply to: IAMTAT

No only for those who haven't lost.

Good time for poor folks to take a chance if they can afford it out of the beer budget.

The market is a game it'll be fine but RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA is the real boogie man this time!!!

I live in the Midwest.

No one is panicking. No one should panic. We have tornadoes every year, and if we reacted to them like people are suggesting we react to this virus, every hardware store would be stripped bare already because spring is coming in a couple weeks ... well, honestly, anytime March is here you can have bad storms with tornadoes.

I could go to bed and get killed overnight.

Gosh, now that I think about it ... I better prep and be ready to sleep in my basement from here on out until July at least. It's just not safe ... there could be a tornadic storm at any moment ...

Exactly, why not just go about your regular life. I see it as no different than any other virus. Protect yourself the best as possible and take regular precautions. If you get it you get it, the creation of anymore panic is not necessary. Until this things starts to kill 10s of thousands of people eclipsing the flu numbers what can you do. There is no hysteria every year when the flu comes out

The mosaics in the lobby were to die for. Art at your feet.

How can you get kicked out if you've never been?

Is covid-19 nationalist or globalist?
I'm thinking globalist.

Viralist.

So you're saying Covid-19 is going viral?


sorry, I'll see myself out

Yeah....It's already all over WUTube.



The door is this way....right?

And the stores would be sold out if tornadoes were predictable but they are not.

I live in hurricane territory trust me, I know. Try to find a loaf of bread or a bottle of water when the TV has that cone of probability aimed at your door.

The biggest things you can do are to protect the vulnerable. Don't go see grandma and grandpa if you're sick. Don't go volunteering if you're sick. IN fact, just stay home if you're sick. In this case, caring is not sharing.

a reply to: Sillyolme

Thing is that this isn't really predictable either. No guarantee you'll get it, and if you do, no guarantee that you'll need anything more serious than Ny-Quil and chicken soup to beat it.

Since it is possible to infect someone before you get symptoms, it might be best not to visit grandma at all.

Blue-collar workers are losing money hand over fist in their 401ks and IRAs.

No one is losing any money unless they sell. It's all on paper, just like the gains they would have had prior to this temporary drop.
