I guess steering isn't part of the job description...

Does this affect people with credit cards and mortgages? Or only people applying for new cards or loans?

Just curious if this means interest rates will be lower next month on my balances I’ve carried. Curiosity

Good thing we have these gouging laws... it might have saved Matt and Noah Colvin's lives.

Not quite accurate. South Korea suggested people stay inside. They did not mandate it, but they did suggest it. Voluntary containment. They're also providing updates to everyone in real time.

They've got drive-through testing that takes about 10 minutes to get through, and results are texted to people. Their health officials are also texting when someone in the area has tested positive, with information about all the places they had been prior to getting sick and what time they were at each location, so anyone who may have been at the same site can watch for symptoms and be tested right away.

They did have deaths, but about the same number we've had, with nearly triple the number of cases.

Soviet Russia pretty much controlled the movements of their citizens within their own country. That being said, I don’t think ever even Trump is so pro Russia to implement this.

A product is only worth what someone (the market) is willing to pay for it. Too much? Don't buy it.

He advised it and asked it. Along with closing restaurants and bars.

Well that comment is incorrect. Don't take internet comments from strangers as truth.

South Korea has shut down their schools and cancelled events.

Students at Defense Department schools in South Korea face another week at home amid concerns over the coronavirus outbreak, officials said Friday.

This was at the beginning of February:

It will impact people with credit cards that have low interest rates (usually referred to as plus prime rates). It will impact people applying for new loans as well.
