It’s just the flu, bro!

Where is Rand Paul in all of this? We need him to stand up for freedom here. I see cultural changes coming out of this - try going to work with a mild common cold six months from now.

This is not a big deal. I have had the flu about 3 times in my life and I never even thought about going to the doctor. Now people will be going to the doctor much more, and for much less.

I do think it’s more than the flu - it’s a highly contagious strain of apparently potential pneumonia. But don’t zot me.

San Francisco has 80 confirmed cases now. Zero dead. Half the hotels are closed. For this.

I foresee a massive boom in HEPA filter retrofit projects, in hotels and office buildings everywhere (after this is over).

Dear President Trump
Please send me my free money. My bride is being mean and won't let me dig into the family stash for my Grand Tour of Texas (maybe Florida too). I don't know how long cheap gas and light traffic will last so hurry every chance you get. C'mon man,we share the same birthday so that makes us almost kin.

Your bro,
Sancho

Never had pneumonia, eh? You’ll be in for a treat.

Did some research yesterday on death rates in Italy over the last century. Looks like a straight rocket up since 2014. Their society is aging out, quickly. Would be interested in matching the current numbers against the 5-year trend.

3 trillion stimulus...
Estimated dead with social distancing =20,000
Estimated dead without social distancing = 40,000
Lives saved =20,000

Cost to save each life = 150,000,000

150 million to save a life BUT we will now have a severe recession/depression which will kill approximately 20,000.

So we have put 3 Trillion into a money pit.
