Please put your entry into the poll, it is up now. Sorry to hear that.
I basically wasn't concerned at all, but after seeing how quickly this has escalated in the US, and seeing al the people dying in Italy, I am worried.
A few nights ago, I suffered some kind of major discomfort. I thought I was going to die, and that it was the virus. I was about to call 911. Never have I been so scared.
Can’t say I’m scared. But I can’t choose that option in the poll, because I don’t think we’re overreacting. This is huge!!! Our economies and societies will most likely end up significantly changed/rearranged because of this. There’s a lot of change ahead and people have to get use to it. How we’ve structured our society, it’s no longer a viable option to proceed into the future with. I’m fascinated by this. I’m optimistic, but it’s based on the reality of the situation, not based on downplaying the severity of our current state. This could very well be a world changing event!!! Substantial change.
As someone who dabbles in the stock market I look at which industries will flourish and which won't.
There will be less demand for travel (bad for airlines, rail, cars, etc.). Less demand for hotel rooms. Less demand for retail and office space as more people will shop online and work from home. Less demand for oil (hence the Saudi are trying to sell all their oil now at any price.)
