I anticipated. My favorite vodka was on sale so I bought three big bottles.
CT has now banned all gatherings of more than 250 people.
Yes, unfortunately more deaths will occur.
The question is...how many.
Can we do anything to reduce that number?
Can we flatten the infection curve and ensure all who need an ICU bed can have one?
Can we prevent total chaos in our medical systems and ensure anyone who has a heart attack, stroke, difficult childbirth can get the care they need as well.
If we don’t flatten that infection curve we will have total societal and medical chaos. The economy will be MUCH worse in such an event.
There was a short, sharp recession after the 1918 flu. Probably one here as well.
The alternative is to plow through it, lose WAY more people to this and bankrupt every insurance company out there.
Nice work!!
Our large, local (state wide) grocer is maybe going to close their curbside pick ups.

Travel bans, market chaos: Dizzying reaction to virus spread
Fair summation of the last 24hrs.
Things are moving very, very rapidly.
Next week, tell me how the preparers caused a panic.
The panicking will be by those who didn’t prepare. But don’t let that stop you.
Actually the everclear IS really for medicinal purposes.

Gov. Gavin Newsom appeared to confirm Thursday that one of the passengers from the Grand Princess cruise ship in quarantine at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar has tested positive for novel coronavirus.
“We are aware of a number of people who have tested positive that have come off ship in addition to the 21 who were originally tested,” Gov. Newsom said. “Two that were passengers, 19 that were crew members, one in Canada and one down in Miramar, but that information is coming in real time. That’s all I know about those individuals at this stage.”
