Wow....

Yeah, DIA is never that empty. My goodness, this thing has really gotten ahold of people. But I suspect that it's going to make a far bigger dent in the global economy than the global population. 

What changes have you made? Personally, I have tickets to fly to San Francisco with my kids to see my brother in a couple of weeks. And, so far anyway, I plan to go. But I have to say I'm a little nervous about it, especially with my kids. Not as much about the virus as how people are panicking about it. A flight yesterday was rerouted to Denver because someone, um...sneezed. And I am narrowing in on some ridiculously priced tickets to Cancun in May. Am I crazy?

Kansas and Duke have pulled out from the tournament.

This also marks the first time college students have pulled out of anything voluntarily.

Merica is shutting down...This is the big crowd stuff, restaurants etc are next. Unchartered territory now. How will the economy be impacted? The oldest bull market in Stock Market history is over.

Interesting infö from an infectious disease doctor on Joe Rogan Experience: said its just started, going to get much worse. Kids don't show symptoms with Coronavirus, but can transmit it. Definitely 10 to 15x higher mortality rate than regular flu. Obesity going to play a factor for Americans as its as bad as smoking.
