nope. But we won’t be running A320s to Pitt either , if yinzers quit going on cruises (likely) or to the beach for spring break until this subsides

All this is just more media driven hysteria. Nobody’s ever been afraid of the flu have they? This virus isn’t much worse. Just has a sexier name and it’s new.

Allegiant was still making money in 2008-09 for that very reason.

Flu has a 0.1% fatality rate. This thing is around 2% and it's more contagious. While I agree the media is overly freaking out so far, I wouldn't sell this thing short just yet. It could wind up being very disruptive.

It has. That’s what’s making this virus weird. If 100 people get it, statistics show 2 perfectly healthy adults will die. Nobody knows why some die and others don’t. It’s not just the old and frail dying from it like the flu. Some don’t even show symptoms and are just carriers. Hard to contain people who have no symptoms and that’s what is causing it to spread.

Not according to what I’ve seen and read about it so far. The vast majority of that 2% is people who have pre-existing conditions.

whats causing the economy to collapse is corporate earnings recession, growing supply chain disruptions and several rounds of Trump pumps glutting the top side to a super way over bought market. Like it or not, this bubble needed to be popped, it's a return to normalcy. The marketplace is so vast and diverse, the media overall plays very little role in what's going on.
