I’d imagine more people have died on the road to the airport so far this year than those that have died from Corona virus. Nobody seems to be too concerned about those deaths. But yeah, let’s all tighten our belts and prepare for massive losses this year because of a virus that is 80% of the time presenting mild cold/flu symptoms.
Look, I get it. Your Rush Limbaugh’s and Fox & Friends push the message of “this is just a cold” and “sure people are dying, but it’s not you is it” and “this is just an attack on our president.” I’m not here to change your minds because I think most are thoroughly broken anyway; however, I would suggest try to be an adult. If this kills someone you care about I doubt you’ll be quoting car crash statistics to anyone.

In the short term UAL will be offering reduced credit lines where pilots only receive 50 hours of pay but are OFF the entire month. For UAL it beats paying 73 hours for RSV pilots that are not used and there are pilots that are happy with reduced pay for known time off.

I believe people do care how many die in car accidents. That’s why every year for decades the safety standards of cars have exponentially improved. If it makes no difference then rip out your airbags and collision avoidance systems or buy a Ford Pinto.

Yeah what a piece of work that guy is! I’ll prefer to listen to my wife and her fellow doctor friends talk about this and what they think vs guys like him on APC.

If you are talking about retirement funds you won’t be needing anytime soon, so what? Just stay the course. The problem with market timing is you have to right twice....when to get out and then when to get back in. How many folks that freaked out in the fall of 2008 by going all cash got back in during mid March of 2009?

A good comparison of coronavirus to some of the other scares. It blows them out of the water.
Animation: coronavirus spread faster than SARS, MERS or Ebola
