Will be interesting to track this as it updates.

MGM and Wynn resorts shutting down. Also locally, most of the casinos are shutting down too, bars and clubs. Total closure. Traffic will be great though 🙂

This will get real crappy real quick economically unless uncle Sam starts sending out checks real soon.

Here’s case shiller for riverside and Las Vegas. Not back to peak yet, so there still room to go. Trough to recovery, they did better than San Diego. Simple. That’s why one needs to know when recessions occur.

Interesting article on how China beat back the virus.

I hear rumors that a lot of workers are missing (not showing up).

They are also having “NEW” outbreaks in other cities.

They are not out of the woods by any measure, maybe once “everyone” in a region has had it they declare it over for that region.

I was under the impression that Wapo an NYT gave out 10 free articles a month (per device). Is that not true?

Svelte, it’s because you already exceeded the monthly limit. Sometimes, if you run your browser in private mode, you can still see the article, though that is changing.

It’s just the tip of the iceberg that’s starting now. All indications is we really wont start coming back, until maybe May, and that would be a slow recovery and also assumes that even if we can get past this first virus way there won’t be a second wave (similiar to the Spanish Flu). One of my customers just shutdown, so there will be some impact, but the immediate impact will be the workers that work at those venues.

And this is just the first week of closures… It’s going to get worse in the tourism sector and it’s really bad news for places that depend primarily on tourism. Can’t pay mortgages and can’t pay rent when there’s no job and no job substitute in the area besides tourism. Ironically, this IS the dooms day scenario that many people wanted I thought. So maybe I was wrong about certain parts of the US. Certains parts of the US are now royally screwed.
Easy come, easy go. Thank you China 🙂

Basically, the websites are keeping a cookie in your browser. That’s why you use to be able to open a private browser and it would work because private browsers don’t keep cookies once you close them. But a lot of websites got smart and won’t let you view in a private browser now. What you can do is create a new profile in chrome that you don’t care about, and simply clear your browser history and reopen your browser.

A good article on the 1918 flu as it affected San Diego:

https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/health/story/2020-03-15/1918-pandemic-san-diego-coronavirus

0.5% of San Diegans died.

First case, Sept 26, 1918 in Balboa Park.

San Diego restricted gatherings.

Seemed to be slowing by late October 1918: 535 cases, 20 deaths

Public gathering restrictions lifted mid Nov 1918.

Another wave hit in 1919, but not a severe as 1918 (at least in San Diego).

I don’t have the date my relative died in Tulsa, but I have a document he signed in late Sept 1918 so I know it was after that.

Yup. Second wave of 1919 was not as severe because those that were infected with the first wave but survived built an immunity to the second wave
. However, the second wave did hit hard those that weren’t infected the first time, it was a more lethal strain I think. …None of this economy matters if in a few years you are dead.

Vaccine tech is a lot better than 100 years ago where all they had was “treat infected tissue with heat or disinfectant and hope it works.”
