SXM, respectfully, I dont know if you have been hiding under a rock but do you really think Italy would have shut down the whole country, Germany believing that 70% of its population will catch it plus UK just giving 30 billion pounds that's about $39 Billion to their people to help get through these times plus an open check to their NHS to do whatever it takes! Sorry but this Country is in complete and utter denial what is going on. Only have to look also at the markets, its official, we have now entered into Bear market territory. I'm not saying its the back death plague either,(but then again you nor I know what this is) but its going to be 10 times more fatal than flu fatalities. Fear Mongering and "overkill" you say. It's not I'm afraid and the last word "overkill" I truly hope I have misread but certainly not misunderstood when it comes to the facts. Again, I hope you are right, but I fear not.

Thank you for your reply. TTOL does not want political posts or current events but something like this should be allowed. I am over 60 with high blood pressure and my husband is alot older. I am quiet in my house not to freak out. I do not want this Covid-19 hitting both of us. We live close to New Rochelle and our Governor is scaring the crap out of me. Luckly I have a months supply of toilet paper.

Martini, I meant no harm and although bordering slightly on politics, its happening!!!!!! Like you, I have high blood pressure in our late 60's/70 plus the wife certainly has health issues so just concerned as (for those that really know) I don't believe it is fear mongering this time, plus as I have a trip coming up in April, I think it would/might be prudent under the circumstances to cancel. Certainly don't want to, just unsure and underneath quite worried, as I am sure we all are. Regardless, wishing us all safety, good health whatever we choose.
