I'm beginning to wonder if this has been around much longer than we thought, and has been chalked off as the flu.

Also, Pence seems to have been potentially exposed down here in Florida. Hilarity ensues.

What a time to be alive.

Welp, the Fed cut the rate by half a percent to protect the economy, and the S&P 500 responded by falling 2.8%.

:omg:

So, does anyone stand to profit from this mess?

Warren Buffet, and anyone else who has several million to buy up all the undervalued stock.

Much of the stock isn't undervalued.  Prices have fallen on low earnings warnings, because shipments have been stopped and supply chains have dried up.  It's 50% likely that the rebound was a dead cat bounce.  We'll know by the middle of this month.

Corrections happen.  Sometimes they happen to you.

The Senate killed the emergency sick leave bill. Cool. I get to actually live the late 19th Century.

A lot of people are going to die.

I have to say, I expected the collapse of civilization as we know it would start from climate change. Instead, it's a virus that we could have stopped.

Fuck. People DID stop it in multiple countries. And the West let it burn.

I feel weird.

There's over 100 of us in this meat-suit. You'd think it runs like a ship, but it's more like a hundred and ten angry ghosts having an old-school QuakeWorld tournament, three people desperately trying to make sure the gamers don't go hungry or soil themselves, and the Facilities manager weeping in the corner as the garbage piles high.

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

That's because white people are invincible. Everybody knows that new viruses only go after brown people and Chinese people.  :roll:
