The Tom Hanks positive might be a turning point in 2 weeks. He will recover. He's 65 with diabetes, a "high risk."
Eventually the hysteria will end and the media will be loathed more. But in the meantime, the economic damage is going to be large. I can't see Q2 not being contraction.
I guess Gobert had some people from France staying with him. [emoji2357]
I’ll bet ya that Baseball is next. Any large social gatherings will be cancelled, postponed or on hiatus for at least 3 months.Quote:

“There were a couple players who were sick and might not be able to play Wednesday night, nothing out of the ordinary, and everything was going as usual leading up to game time. The music was blaring, the starters had already been announced, the officials had the ball in their hands. The game was seconds from tipping off.
Then it was like a flurry of movement. Someone ran onto the court, the refs and coaches talked for a few minutes and all of a sudden the players were waving to the crowd as they exited the court and headed back toward their respective locker rooms.
It was a frantic time trying to figure out what to do. The Salt Lake Tribune’s Andy Larsen raced toward the court and was stopped at the tunnel leading toward the locker rooms, he wasn’t allowed through. Myself and The Athletic’s Tony Jones immediately started texting and calling team and league personnel trying to figure out what was going on.”
Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell has tested positive for the coronavirus, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
So get out there and RIDE like your life depends on it, cuz it just might.

^^^What the hell? :eek2:
It appears Utah is going to shut down all public schools for the remainder of the year. School will be online...

^^^^^^^^^^^^That may be but that is not what is happening in my district. Where are you getting that info?
Murray school district cancelled school.
With travel restrictions from a lot of European and Asian countries coming to the US this year, I’ll bet national parks will see a dramatic decrease in visitation.
Perhaps a trip this year to Yellowstone, Yosemite, Bryce, and Zion will actually be pretty pleasant!
Hmm...[emoji848][emoji848][emoji848][emoji848]

Jordan school district has not cancelled. We got a call a few hours ago. Murray had a kids Dad who worked at Vivint arena and so they panicked. The U will be online, but they are on spring break anyway and not much left. They can more reasonably handle online and are better setup for it.
I'm working across from a Winco in Midvale today with full view of the parking lot. The parking lot is completely full of course and I've been watching people hustle around and come out with shopping carts filled to brim and sometimes two.
Label me a radical eco-warrior type mindset, but if we had to trade some level of economic activity for the lack of crowds of the 80s? I'd kill for that.Quote:

Next thing ya know, they'll think it's a good idea to have open borders and let anyone in.......
I do know the state superintendent just banned out of state travel for schools. I am a school board member and right now there is no talk of cancelling school in my district. However, this really is an hour by hour situation right now. Would it surprise me if it was cancelled? No. Would it surprise me if it was not? No.Quote:

(And I could get my fruit trees pruned.... :) )
This will be a state ban and the decision will be at the state level and not district... as I said... a little birdie told me it's a big possibility at the moment... or nothing might come of it.Quote:

“Doctor, I have a high fever, trouble breathing, runny nose - but the bizarre part is, every time I cough I sing something from Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Leonard Cohen or Tom Jones!”
“Hmm - I think you might have that Crooners virus”.....
Canceled sporting events. Canceling schools. Travel bans. People are panicking right and left. Anyone been to a grocery store today? You thought empty TP shelves was bad. By midday tomorrow, if that late, most food shelves will be barren.
This mass hysteria is getting out of control. More people are going to get sick, more are going to die. The peacock is only going to get worse. Factories are going to shut down. Nothing is going to be shipped. Are we on the brink of economic and social collapse? I don’t see this thing getting any better soon.
When this becomes the dominant topic of conversations, we've reached the bottom. Not until.Quote:

I don't see a mass panic happening at all...the hype is certainly having an effect on big crowd stuff, but I hardly think it's time to load up the truck with ammo and a bug out kit to head for the hills. Things will mellow out. It's not like people are dropping dead in the street.

Bread shelves looking pretty skimpy.
LDS church has cancelled all church services until further notice.
If you need to stock up, just hit the store at 6am this Sat or Sun...nobody will be there and they're going to re-fill the shelves quick.Quote:

Plenty of salad still available at Walmart in Payson. :haha:

I think food production is the big risk. Wait till someone at a meat packing plant, or food distribution center gets tested positive. Then production will shut down. If schools close, many parents don’t have alternative, especially young kids, parents will be taking off work. Add to that the mass hysteria about getting this thing, and more people won’t be going to work. Production of goods could come to a standstill.
Oh no!...not those cheap ones that come pre-prepared in the plastic containers? Oh God, I'd rather starve.Quote:
