    Oh it’s def real CB. Travel, consumer goods, market confidence, etc... are being hit hard. Some from media induced panic/fear and some legit.

      I booked fights yesterday to Louisville for a bachelor party and prices have dropped significantly.

            First official cases in Ohio. Three confirmed, all near Cleveland.

            The only concern I have is that my wife is a nurse in a nursing home. We are about 45 minutes east of Cleveland.

              Some school employee in the next county over tested positive, and now all schools in that county are closed tomorrow (not sure for how long).

              Wonder how this will affect the MLB. As of right now they do not plan on postponing games, but there are cities like here for the Braves where we have cases just a few minutes from the stadium.

                The big press conference today touched upon some relief for hourly workers who miss time because of illness and have no sick leave. Some companies are already providing a safety net of sorts.

                I remember how haphazardly and incorrectly many FEMA funds were distributed after Katrina.

                  I work for a power line supplier and we routinely work 50-60 hours a week, Monday to Saturday; we've worked basically zero OT for the last month. I'm one of the few NOT complaining. too much time @ work is too much. I've hated it for anyone affected by this virus but aside from that, I've enjoyed being in a normal 40 hour week, though tomorrow we do start back on limited OT

                    Ohio State University has shut down until at least March 30th. This is nuts.

                    My daughter goes to Kent State. I have a feeling they will probably do the same.

                      It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

                        UVA is suppose to be making an announcement in the next day or so. Currently the students are on break, but I would not be surprised if they did the same thing as OSU. I know they were discussing that same solution last week in admin meetings.

                            It's been reported that the fatality rate for Coronavirus is 34 times higher than the flu. I don't know how accurate that is given the fact we don't know how many people have it and at what level.

                              We just received and email at work that anyone showing cold or flu-like symptoms will be asked to return home.

                              We were also told that our upper management is currently working on plan that we could work from home if needed. At this time its not expected but the possibility exists.

                              We are also closing our will call and walk in counter area until April 1st. All will call orders will be moved to delivery (we offer free delivery)
                              I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                              I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(
