It's okay for everyone to be cautious.  I assume everyone I see is infected and react accordingly.  

One of the worst problems with this virus, is that you can transmit it while being completely asymptomatic, and even if/when you show symptoms, you can be infectious several days before they show up.  It stays "hidden" within the body extremely well, which is part of why it's so dangerous.

Crazy indeed.  Downright certifiably, crazy.

My daughter set to graduate from K-State in May has 2 employers wanting her, one in Houston, and the other based there but who knows where they would send her. Highly dependent upon energy, as you might imagine. 

With this complete and utter decimation of the economy by virtue of flattening the curve, we all may be working in a warehouse gathering groceries to deliver.  If we're lucky.

I need to start walking the dog, but we are still in winter up here, except for the days we're not. ;)

My dog's getting 3 walks per day, she's never had it so good.  Nothin' else to do... :)

Yup.  Luckily the neighborhood has many parks and green spaces with trash cans, including those special cans that are for dog poop specifically.

Hey, all, hope everyone is well & happy! 
I never imagined what a life without sports would be like, but here we are.    Interesting times, indeed. 

Our dogs aren't noticing a difference, both of us have the permission slips to keep working as usual.  I didn't think we were so essential, but apparently we are - but thankful for that at any rate.    Although my side-hustle is in shambles, at least I am still able to get income coming in.     Otherwise I'd seriously be thinking hard about applying for one of those HEB jobs, if just for the ability to see when the good stock comes in. 


Truly hope all of you are weathering this insanity in the best way possible, and that the disruptions in your life have been minimal (and will continue to be).

Hang in there Erin

This too shall pass

Both my children are working from home and still earning a paycheck

Im retired so no big change for me

I dabble in the stock market but sold out upon Trumps initial travel ban on China

Ill just keep my powder dry until it turns around

There will be lots of money there if you can time it right

Im so tempted to buy some really under valued stocks but Ill be patient

Me and grubhub are really getting to be buddies

If youre a day trader maybe otherwise the market could go down big time tomorrow who knows

Until there are definite signs of a turnaround its better to wait

It could take a year for the general market to return to where it was before all of this, but I'm pretty certain it will happen.  The underlying conditions for a strong market haven't changed.

Some sectors are doing extremely well, even now.  For example, the extremely large computer manufacturing company that I work for, is posting record sales, as so many companies (large and small) shift their workforce to WFH and must buy the technology to support that.
