People are now panicking about the panic and subsequent overreaction.

I must say in Seattle it’s a little alarming to go to the store and to literally see no meat, no bread, no milk, no soap. And I’ve already had friends in hospitality lose their jobs.

I think the UK’s keep calm and carry on approach is the right way - but it’s hard to turn back from a panic.



UK approach is suicide, their health care system is going to break down magnificently under the pressure of swarm of sick people, or they are going to ask people to stay at home and pray once sick.

I don't see that works, people will riot.


Honestly, I think the people losing their jobs now are in a much better position than those facing uncertainty or not realizing it could happen to them.

Start getting unemployment now before that system becomes overwhelmed. I am not optimistic for state and local government to implement remote work.
