The Wuhan virus is nothing more than the common flu, the images from Italy, Spain, China are deep fakes too right?

Do people actually believe this $hit?

Scary to think that some (many?) probably do!

No doubt that erring on the side of caution, and fear, is the right thing to do. Especially when you see people congregating en masse in NYC early in, only blocks away from where refrigerated trailers were being filled as temporary morgues. Some people, one has to hit more than once with an iron frying pan in order to get the point across. Unfortunately, those more considerate types are collateral damage as rules address the lowest common denominator.

I honestly don't see many bars, clubs, small restaurants coming out of this. Here, unofficially, radio stations who sponsor concerts are generally saying not to expect tours to re-start until summer or fall of 2021. So promoters, and all of the infrastructures (from venues to security to rentals to advertising) will be affected.

It will be very interesting to see how sporting events are handled. Playing to closed houses isn't the same. And there are still large numbers of support people required to stage televised sporting events, for whom social distancing is not possible. I doubt many teams want to risk their expensive players for unknown rewards, either.
