Not sure if I’d benefit or not. I click on my USAA card about, it says

Visa signature
Regular APR 16.40%
Then under it says
(Applies to new transactions, prime + 11.65)

Hoping it reduces my next bill or two. Been paying off for awhile.
I had 800 credit when I had this card, not sure if it’s a fair rate or not.

It will depend on which countries "west coast" you're on and the numbers of those who are ill.

There is some big announcement tomorrow morning. We will see.
That's right. People were asked to stay home and instead they are out and about partying it up, going on Spring Break vacations and traveling to other states.

Myrtle Beach got their first cases today. One was an elderly couple that brought it back home with them as they caught it in another state.

That's harsh. Maybe countries that are little affected could help Italy out, Russia for instance.

Oh snap! An elderly couple has the FLU ! Horrors. Let's shut down Myrtle Beach while we are at it.
