Coronavirus (COVID-19 Outbreak) (65 Viewers)

She's 100% wrong

The CDC has no call on whether testing would be free unless they are administering the tests themselves - which they are not

If she doesn't have health insurance then that's an entirely different conversation not meant for this time

if anything, now is the perfect time to bring that up.

It's been 2 days since I had my coffee. Im stuck with Turkish coffee (which I don't like at all). All coffee shops and restaurants have been closed down in Kosovo.

Why? I'm surprised it's declared this early.

Ohio closes all bars and restaurants from tonight

I think it took too long to declare it.

I think it took too long to declare it.

I think it's a smart decision.

We closed down coffee shops, bars, cinemas, all types of schools. Many companies are giving workers laptops to work from home but majority of jobs are still undergoing.

not a single country managed to react too early.

I was being ironic considering we're morons and usually toooooo late with everything.

Here in Austria also, everything is closed down from tomorrow on. You are not allowed to have more than 5 people in one place.
My company gave everyone two weeks vacation

Well in my country acted after 2 cases were found. I think that’s pretty quick. Though mayor of capital city was asking to suspend school after neighboor countries were infected.

Paid vacation?

Paid vacation?

I doubt it.

Federal interest rates are now zero @Bjerknes

 

[Bjerknes]

This will likely happen sooner or later. Better to do it now. But my guess is they'll wait two weeks.

Probably so, a week or two, and by then it will be too late.

 

[AFL_ITALIA]

NYC finally to close schools, this is unprecedented.

This is going to hurt a lot, and it's going to be very, very asymmetrical -- unevenly distributed -- at first. The last of San Francisco's non-tech nor finance economy will completely collapse, and that assisted living community for millennials will be left with nobody to do the assisting. Going to be bizarre when that area faces an adulting crisis where everyone keeps banging on their apps and there are no humans left to respond.

I would even be worried if I was in the tech industry. Sales will most likely trend down for them too, especially as the crisis rolls on and the service industry is decimated. Then access to capital will probably be an issue, which is why the Fed keeps wasting all their supposed "bullets" as soon as the outbreak begins. Not to poo-poo the virus, but the ramifications to the economy will probably be far worse, and probably even longer-lasting.
