Unfortunately there are many sick in the head miserable *******s that are thriving on this and ignorantly hoping for some zombie apocalypse type of scenario. Until it actually happens, and they'll be the first ones panicking and pissing their pants.
I was reading something another poster wrote, about Yellowstone possibly erupting sometime between 2014-2024 and how 3 other countries have US contracts worth 10.5B to house displaced citizens once it erupts. (brazil, Australia and Argentina), contracts expire in 2024.
Apparently the following steps have been taken in DC recently, Im trying to verify if these are accurate...
[LEFT]Sign #1)President Trump activating one million military reservists with medical skills to treat battlefield injuries. Details of this order are found in the EO text at WhiteHouse.gov.[/LEFT]
[LEFT]Sign #2)The Pentagon ordering high-level staffers into deep underground bunkers in Colorado. This was announced by NORAD and NORTHCOM in a Facebook town hall meeting. Obviously, you don’t order military staffers into a 2,000-foot deep bunker just because of a virus.[/LEFT]
[LEFT]Sign #3) Secretary of State Pompeo just ordered all Americans living overseas to return to the US “immediately.” The cover story for this is that the coronavirus is collapsing international flights. But that alone would not justify all Americans returning from living overseas, since many Americans would just hunker down where they’re living. But Pompeo wants all Americans to return immediately, which is the kind of thing you do before a war breaks out (with China, most likely). Via The UK Independent:[/LEFT]
Friend, until I see MSM report the crisis is over and things are back to normal and I see municipalities announcing people can start going out to malls and see people filling Macy's shoulder to shoulder during Christmas buying season and nobody being rushed to IC afterwards and actually see restaurants with their "open for business" lights turned on and tables filled and Lakers and Dodger stadiums filled to capacity and people able to walk through a home for sale--until I see al this happening again, I will assume the Coronavirus pandemic is still raging and the economy is on the verge of collapsing because government money is hemorrhaging out and revenues have dried up.
I wish the best for our nation, I really do. I hope things are back to normal and we can resume life as we knew it because frankly I'm getting tired of staring at my computer monitor. But I'll just reiterate what a friend said his real agent told him: "I think we have to acknowledge that buying and selling homes as we knew it is a thing of the past."
And I'm listening to NBC Nightly News and a Hong Kong doctor just announced, "The reappearance of the Coronavirus here in Hong Kong is actually worse than the first time."
“We have to learn from other countries. Hong Kong, for example, seemed to have the virus under control, but it reappeared, and they had a new wave of infection. We also saw how in Italy this number of cases fell and then increased dramatically."
Please don't be so caviler about this, friend. Your enthusiasm to get out there and resume normal life could cost you your life.
I sound like a broken record but it is NOT realistic to shut down the country indefinitely. Do you think we are going to all grow our hair out now since we can't have salons? Have bad teeth because we can't go to the dentist? Never swim again? Amusement parks closed for good? This is not a way of living. This is only temporary. Well, for normal folk. Like I said, have fun staying in your cave the rest of your life.

Agreed, and I would expect to hear the plans to re-open, in stages, in upcoming weeks.
I would expect NYC, as the epicenter, to resume later than areas with lower covid rates of infection, due to NYC's massive casualty rates.
It will still be too late IMO for half of retail, hotels, or restaurants to ever open again.
