Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

The bounce was rather short lived, but of course it could come back.  DJIA down 150.

Thank you.

We're seeing a lot of the same, although I believe at this time we haven't had any employee [even worldwide] test positive. We instituted travel bans for international, restricted company meetings over a certain size, and moved certain meetings which would normally require people to fly in to one site to be remote. I might have a meeting coming up the first week of April in Colorado, and it remains to be seen whether that will be changed to be remote instead--I know my wife doesn't want me to go.

Like you, I work from home primarily now (went from about 30-40% work from home to 90% once we got the puppy). For my role that's normal; it's a field role and most of my peers work from home as they don't live near an office. I just happen to be near a major office so I have a desk there. But just this past week they've been making sure that people in other roles have been validating all of their work-from-home capability (connectivity, VPN, etc) in case they get the order to start.

Personally I think some of the panic is a bit overblown. But that said, we're currently at 730 cases tested positive in the US and 26 deaths. That's 3.6%, and given that probably 500+ of those positive tests have occurred in the last 96 hours, I would expect the death rate just amongst those 730 patients to climb as some of those 730 won't recover. Granted, I'm sure there are some unreported cases where [younger, healthier] people are either having mild symptoms and not getting checked out, or might even be entirely asymptomatic. As @847badgerfan says, that 3.6% rate is only based upon known positive tested patients, and clearly doesn't include everyone at this point. But it's still higher than we'd like to see.

And of course, people stockpiling their bunkers are buying Costco, Target, Walmart etc out of toilet paper, water, cleaning supplies, etc. It's madness.

I won't claim those figures are "wrong" exactly, but I don't trust them much either because of reporting errors.  Some folks may not have been tested for COVIC-19 and still be added to some list.  Reporting from places like Iran strike me as not very reliable.  I think it clear that older folks are hit harder, just as they are with flu.  And apparently some folks have contracted the illness and had no symptoms, though how anyone would know that without broad scale testing I have no idea.  If I get slightly ill I'm not going to get tested for it.

The specific percentages however strike me as very possibly wrong.
