It's just every advice column I read assumes this business as usual atmosphere is going to be the norm and we are all going to calmly co-exist with a virus that's dropping everyone around us like flies.

Sorry, not gonna play out like that.

Every person I have casually asked about "what they think about this" tells me--almost word for word--they don't watch the news and last they heard it was improving.

Americans are 100% not prepared for anything like what is happening in Korea, Italy or China.

“Americans are 100% not prepared for anything like what is happening in Korea, Italy or China. “

Obviously, I’m with you. Look at the 536, it shows the ‘suspected cases’ in South Korea - increased by 3500 yesterday, now over 25,000. At least they’re being truthful, rather than trying to ‘manage the disclosure of data’ to ‘avoid a panic’.

Interesting, are scenes today from the Costco (store) in Shanghai - packed with people, most virtually no masks on (I assume in part because none are available). Huge lines to just buy hot dogs. Maybe a death (or suffering) wish over there?
