The first and some of second quarter are going to be slow. But I don't think this will kill the way the world does business. Got some dry powder to invest on a panic day if it shows up.

I was sort of compartmentalizing corona for self-care reasons, then I remembered that I have 5 very vulnerable people that I love dearly who have compromised immune systems and/or are very old. My mom is a hospice nurse, too, so she'll definitely be exposed.

Our old landlords are on that cruise ship off California coast. They are saying they haven't been tested yet. Got to be in their late 70's so they are prime candidates. Hope they are ok.

St. Louis (County) has its first case, a student who was studying in Italy.

Scary thread, and there are some rebuttals worth reading too, asking why hasn’t the doubling continued in China. Others make the point that China has been able crack down harshly and quarantine in ways we’re not likely to be comfortable with.

Liz seems to think it will keep doubling til almost every human is infected? really? Spanish flu infected 27% says wikipedia. Why will this be different?
