Media wants to ruin the economy since it’s an election year and that’s the main driving factor.

You really can't win with those pricks, which is why I no longer watch the news.

Otherwise just putting along for months with falling bookings and hemorrhaging money is just going to burn through cash even faster. This is a psychological virus more than anything.

Speaking of racist, sexist, bigoted, misogynistic, xenophobic people... Mexico wants to keep Americans out. They are considering closing their border.
It would be hilarious if because of the pandemic they offer to pay for a border wall

Turn off the TV. Go for a walk. Read a book. This too shall pass.

What I find concerning is we’ve become a society of fear, cowardice and panic following after hysteria, rather than of strength and fortitude.
Do sensible things, like good hygiene (which should always be the case) and live life with confidence.

Today the Deputy Secretary of Defense David L. Norquist approved new travel restrictions for service members, DoD civilians, and their families assigned to DoD installations, facilities and surrounding areas within the United States and its territories. This restriction will halt all domestic travel, including Permanent Change of Station, and Temporary Duty. This restriction will also pause civilian hiring at DoD installations and components for persons who do not reside within the hiring entity's local commuting area.
Additionally, service members will be authorized local leave only, following Service guidelines. This new guidance is effective March 16 and continues through May 11.
