Something like this Bruce? Scroll down to the charts:

I think it’s been around a lot longer than we know. I don’t think all businesses need to shit down to contain it, common sense and good hygiene will take care of a lot of this.

Businesses need to shit down? Is that because of the toilet roll shortage?

Trump is calling it the Chinese virus now. Sigh

For all the Disney fans out there...we all know every Disney park is closed now but they also sent all of their college students home and the college program is a huge part of their staff because they can pay them minimum wage.

If they are being sent home it means Disney World won't be opening in a few weeks. I wouldn't be surprised now if they don't open until June at this point.

What I don't understand is that NYC is practically shutdown, with most places closed, yet the virus spread is still increasing at a faster rate. This leads me to believe that closing businesses is a big mistake. It isn't slowing the spread and our economy is suffering greatly because of it.

I think we probably need to reopen businesses. The things the government is doing are going to cause a major impact that's going to be much more difficult to recover from than the virus itself.

Right now, I'm actually fearful for the economy moreso than the virus...

It's spreading because we waited too long and we're packed in together like sardines. You REALLY think closing businesses is a mistake?

The problem is they waited too long. We're completely screwed.
