Month: March 2020

My thought for the day—I try to be 100% positive all the time. But, if I have to get tested for CV19, I certainly hope it’s negative. There! I’m being positive about being negative.

Just a thought-does anyone think the response to action to CV19 is akin to the story of the Frog in the pot of boiling water? If a 100% mandatory shutdown of all business was imposed immediately- there would be a revolt. But, over time, as the hysteria and reality sink in, easier

I’m sharing this not to scare everyone, but provide more info. and context.  Very interesting simulators in here.  It shows even moderate quarantine doesn’t work. NYC just shut down 50% of work force. By Monday, it might be 100% shutdown for the Nation.  https://wapo.st/2QrAZyS 

Could you imagine being on the TV Show Big Brother (where you are sequestered away from the world), and being there for the last month?  Then, when you are released, you enter into shutdowns, empty bars, closed stores and social distancing. Believe it?  

Big applauds to Dollar General store.  They have moved to allow only Seniors into the stores in the first hour.  This keeps them away from larger crowds or at risks. The morning also gives them access to the store when it is the most stocked and sanitized. 

My prediction–Time “Person” on the year- Corona Virus (Even though it’s not really a person).  The new word for the year to be added to Webster’s Dictionary– Social Distancing.

I am almost afraid to post this.  I don’t know if it falls under “fake” news?  Optimism? (which I’m hoping), or callous tone deaf?  For all I know, this press release was on a “scheduled” release (like automatic sprinklers coming on when it’s raining out). 

For those of you who think I’m paranoid or worried about the CV19 virus due to all the travel tips I’ve been posting, that’s not the case. I see it this way-Don’t be scared-Be prepared. The more knowledge, information, and actions you have the better. It’s up to you to use them.

Just my thought—is a recession coming? NO. The markets are dropping because people are not going out. This is occurring by Force and NOT Fortune. Meaning, people are getting laid off because no one is able to go out, not because they don’t have money to spend.
