Twilight zone
 
No travel to Europe, no NBA games, Forrest Gump has COVID. This is spiraling out of control faster than needs be, but reality is that it is. Roosevelt once said “the only thing we have to fear, is fear itself. Does this feel like some bad movie, or some history reel we thought could never happen again? 3 weeks ago I was fat dumb and happy, 3 days ago, I thought we may cancel a few flights for 2 months, now I’m concerned for the entire economy and Industry. Logic completely dictates this is just fear run amok. A big eye roll. But damn, this is getting uglier by the hour. It can’t happen to us in the 21st century... but can it ?

Yeah it can. It’s not a hoax or “fake news”. It’s not fear run amok, If anything it’s complacency run amok.

Read this chilling piece about what’s happening in Italy. Really important we flatten the epidemic curve... shame we weren’t/aren’t more prepared.

World is quickly entering meltdown stage.

The attending physician of Congress and the Supreme Court, Brian Monahan, briefed Senate staff on Tuesday afternoon in a closed-door meeting and said that he expects 70 million to 150 million people in the U.S. will contract the coronavirus, two sources tell NBC News.

We’re in the denial phase. Once people accept facts, things will start to improve. We need to start hearing more of “yeah, I’ve got it. Had some fever, took Advil for a few days and watched Netflix for a couple of weeks”. It’s a dreadful reality that we’ll loose about 1-2% of the population in the US, mostly seniors and people with acute respiratory diseases. It’s also a wake up call to implement healthier lifestyle habits. Viruses will come and go, but ultimately it’s up to your body to fight back. Take good care of it.

...and fear or not, warranted or not, the damage to the industry is really happening. The company does not get back the past month of sales. Basically the next two quarters are already shot. The company has pulled its guidance for the year and if this virus doesn't settle down quickly and the company has to start considering chewing through its cash to pay the bills, labor is getting chopped first.

With F9 canceling all hiring we’re pretty much the last ones to do so. I expect it’ll come today.

I am scheduled to start Apr 6. I guess I might get some extra time to study flows, limitations and memory items :D
