The virus must love that California weather!

Imagine your local factory—for example in my neck of the woods there is a huge mail processing facility and Pratt and Whitney—what if they shut down for two weeks.

Even if there are only a few cases.

Those people are not driving to work. They are not buying their dunkin’s in the morning. They are not going to the movies. They are not going to the Celtics games. They are not going out to dinner. They are not going to club meetings. They might be buying stuff on Amazon—but will the local mail facility send them?

Each of those places I referred to employee between 5 thousand and 10 thousand workers. And you cannot build aircraft engines and space suits from home. And you cannot sort mail from home.

For those naysayers out there...this is not the flu. And the concern is not about living or dying—it is highly unlikely not to kill you. Its about shutting stuff down. Keeping you home. And putting everyone out of work for a while.

we have 1/3 of America’s Chinese immigrants so the number of stay at homes in Calif doesn’t surprise me. Arcadia, Garvey and Alhambra SD in LA are about 60% Asian. San Gabriel Valley, Central Coast, Kern County to San Ramon to Sacramento to San Diego, you name it. They used to outnumber the messicans.
