Multiple cases in Mexico. Good thing they paid for that wall.

Does the coronavirus cause power outages or something?

People won’t be able to gather anymore - at places like ... power plants. So, yeah.

That’s a good thing in this case though right?

Saw a tweet from Donald from years back saying if the Dow Jones (he speller it joans) falls below 1000 the president should be fired from a canon into the sun

His base are gonna take this hit too surely so maybe there’s an upside

$3.4T, yes T, has been wiped off so far this week.

Buy low, baby.

Follow the money. Someone is behind this coronavirus conspiracy.

The rich get richer in times like this. Gobble up more assets at low prices, watch them appreciate.

I don't think it's that serious. Most industrial systems are highly automated at this point (assuming someone doesnt conduct industrial sabotage or a cyberattack).

I would be more concerned about existing food deserts in cities getting restocked (warehouses are susceptible and the workers are unlikely to take off for fear of getting fired) and nursing home or full-time care residents getting what they need if medical staff are unable to work or redirected to care for sick kids. Hurricane Katrina might be a closer model to what to expect.

Based on the opening headlines of every 90’s post-apocalypse movie, we are inches away from seashell buttwipes and kangaroo rappers.

I have a father in law on a ship off the coast of Japan. He's been there since June. Should I be worried that I haven't heard from him for several days?
