Agree TLP... it is rough, will get rougher and I feel for those that need to carry on like 'normal' for work etc. and will struggle for child care etc.
I am fortunate in that I can and do operate from home... I am also fortunate to have seen this coming a mile away so am well prepared. (although I have still managed to allow a % of my PF in RRE and TXP to get savaged) ... my kid is out of school and we can voluntarily socially distance for as long as it takes.... lots or work to do around the place and will still go out for walks etc. Just won't be going near a supermarket, pub or cafe etc etc.
The WHO were calling this "Low Risk" 2 months ago when we knew it spread when it was asymmtomatic for up to 14 days ... and govs followed that line (Uk let 40 flights a day in from China throughout). It was obvious from that point what would happen and quickly ... it's a joke... 2/3 weeks later they decide its a global emergency ... and now after 2 months they decide its a global pandemic and they accuse nations of a reckless lack of response. The UK Gov rolled out the red carpet for this virus and invited it here with extra incentives to do business.
Bottom line is that you do not want to get this thing and if you are over 60 or have any "underlying conditions" you really do not want to get it ... the ONLY way not to get it is to socially isolate and to do that as soon as you can.
... and regardless of whether you care about your own health or not... it is the socially responsible thing to do imo.
Wish you and everyone well... we'll be all good for the Covid's dead party / Trump election pump after summer.
