CoronitaParticipant[quote=flu]What a great speech! Such beautiful leadership from Pennsylvania Avenue![/quote]
Really, friend. You take my previous handle and you can’t wait 1 day before you go Trumpanzee on me? Really?
Fck you. Thanks for nothing, former friend.
CoronitaParticipant.
CoronitaParticipantDuring these challenging times, I’m really concerned that people are going to get confused with the negative connotations being thrown around here in each thread with the word “flu” that looks and sounds the same as my user handle.
To avoid further confusion, I’ve rebranded my user handle to something else that clearly distinguishes me from the negative associations being used here to represent a deadly virus.

Kind of weird to be working from home. I need to order a new machine gonna get a 12 core Ryzen 3900x[/quote]It’s not too bad once in a while. I do it sometimes. The dog loves it when I stay home, she’s glued to my side all day.
I wouldn’t want to do it all week every week…I’d get cabin fever and gain 20 lbs.[/quote]
I am going out and buying a new larger monitor to make it a little easier to WFH, I think this may end up actually becoming a boom in consumer spending LOL.
People will probably end up buying stuff to keep their kids busy as well.[/quote]

I’m getting distracted. Working on my cars…. Maybe now’s a time to do a V8 miata swap… lol.
CoronitaParticipant[quote=The-Shoveler]IMO our response has been fairly good (and maybe a little too drastic, time will tell).
We are doing much better than Europe so far IMO.[/quote]
Erring on the side of drastic is probably ok given the circumstances.

CoronitaParticipantSan Diego and San Dieguito Unified just announced they are closing school starting monday. Yeah, early spring break.
With unprecedented closures even before major outbreak infections, it sure seems people are taking this pretty seriously.
CoronitaParticipant[quote=The-Shoveler]So Silver down big (probably more than the S&P500)
I am nibbling a little here on SLV shares
IMO probably margin call selling but maybe I am wrong.
Thoughts?[/quote]
Gold > platinum > silver.
CoronitaParticipant[quote=svelte][quote=flu]If history is going to be a guide for how the Coronavirus can play out , skip the normal social and cyclical economic models that people were using to predict a recession. This pandemic event is nothing like we’ve seen in modern times.
A closer model would be the one time pandemic event in 1918 also known as the Spanish Flu. That seems to be a more appropriate model of how things can play out. We haven’t had any other major pandemic event since then.

The majority of the death from that was surprise surprise from a cytokine storm.
The killer wasn’t the first wave of that flu. The killer was the second wave that occurred in August that was a deadlier mutation of the first that affected those that weren’t infected by the first wave had not built immunity to the second mutated flu. Which begs the question , if this Coronavirus is bad now, what’s a mutated version going to look like.[/quote]
You went down the same thought process I did flu in that the 1918 epidemic is the closest equivalent. I have actually followed that event quite a bit because my grandmother’s brother died from the 1918 strain while living in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was a divorced 38 year old male with one child. I have inherited some of his belongings and they are fascinating.
In any case, no telling whether there will be a mutated version, and we certainly know a helluva lot more about medicine 100 years later. But I’m with you that this isn’t going to be a one month thing. It will likely affect us all into and possibly through the summer.
We had a discussion about this topic around the kitchen island last night and we all agreed with that time frame.[/quote]
So far, all the data seems to suggest that kids are spared from this virus. Unlike normal flu, where the hardest hit are usually the elderly and the youngest in a U shape, the left side of the U is mysteriously absent this time. Still, they can be carriers.
I don’t have a problem with people who are ocd about hygiene. Better than the slobs that use their cell phones in the bathroom and leave without washing their hands. Never borrow someone else’s cell phone. Gross.
CoronitaParticipantSan Diego Unified just suspended classes starting monday..
Come on San Dieguito, follow through.

CoronitaParticipantWhoa. So it’s pretty ahole-ish for universities to be forcing students out of their dorms on short notice.
First I heard Pepperdine do this, now it seems like USD is doing this.
CoronitaParticipantThings just get weirder and weirder. New office email…. I’m told we all go on PTO until the end of the month, PTO is extra that doesn’t count towards accrued vacation. Be available in case a customer calls during this period, but they too are shutdown until end of this month, so unlikely.
Another first time for something like this. Ok. Still not use to it. IT’s like a ghost town… Which is unheard of. It’s like walking into a casino and it being completely empty.
Maybe I’ll pick up where I left off, restoring one of my cars.
