This is good post and we need more awareness here.
I am going to follow this thread, we need to be asking questions about this.
Per CDC:
-
Internal spread will take place (meaning there will be connection to China or other countries)
-
It's not a question of IF, it's just a matter of time
-
Businesses to have plans
-
Schools to have plans
Per the market (last three days and afterhours today):
-
we are in a free fall
-
there will be a recession
-
travel industry will crater, car sales are 95% down in china
-
oil prices will tank
We'll be fine as a nation, I thin there will be a ton of infections but not as lethal as China (better healthcare)
Now, if schools close, 60% folks in the US are hourly, 75% have less than $1K saved. So, if schools close we are in trouble...
Anyhow, not a zombie apocalypse, we'll survive this but it is going to be a bumpy year
