Seaside, on 30A, is locking their door. No Spring Breakers. No anything.

Much of Seaside’s businesses are shutting down over coronavirus concerns.
An email sent to Seaside merchants from the Seaside Community Development Corporation calls for closures until April 30.

CoronaKate? Is that you? Of course the isolation is worth it. 401ks can be rebuilt. Lives can’t. If we don’t slow the spread now, we will lose hundreds of thousands of lives, statistically speaking. This thing has a kill rate of 4%. The flu is 0.5%.

I’m ok with it. As long as restaurants still have carry out, there is hope.

We’re not just talking 401k’s here... this could kickoff a 2008-like recession... what’s the human cost of a global recession?
No one knows the true death-rate bc so many people are asympomatic and will never be tested.
I’m not saying what we’re doing right now is wrong... but our economy cannot continue with this indefinitely.

Markets were in bad shape before we began closures in the western world. It started with supply chain disruption. Not necessarily demand. Both are now issues but demand is easier to manage
Our market is global. Restaurants, bars, non-essential brick and mortar closures are impactful. They are. But more impactful and tougher to manage is the supply chain disruption. There’s a lot we can do to assist a recession. With normal supply capacity we can infuse the economy with cash and tax breaks to promote spending. If people are sick and wiping out supply chains long term there’s no quick (or slow) fix in the tool box. Also — Death rate, economically, may be less impactful than the hospitalization rate (15%).
We’ve got to have some patience and get this disruption (virus) to a manageable level. Then we can reassess. We’re learning more and more by the hour so hang in there

CDC COVID-19 Stats
Current US Stats on COVID-19:
Confirmed Cases: 3487
Deaths: 68
That's currently a 1% mortality rate. Similar to the flu. It also doesn't seem to be spreading like wildfire as the media and government reaction would suggest. Unless the CDC is being dishonest with us... I know bla bla, unconfirmed cases. Unless all these "unconfirmed cases" start dropping dead, seems like we will be fine. Physically fine, not financially...

If it ain't 0 and it ain't 2. It is 1 motherfrickers. My argument doesn't need the number to be rounded up.

I fat fingered the number wrong and still got it closer than your original error

FIFY. Your whole argument is that it’s basically the flu, disregard the fact that it’s nearly 20x deadlier than the flu and more communicable.

Should we all start making funeral arrangements or will this all be gone by mid-May? I am tired of this sky is falling shite. Sick and elderly folks should quarantine until it passes. Everybody else should live their life while this thing runs it's course.

You can start by quarantining yourself from this board
