It has begun. Sagan's school dance for tomorrow was just cancelled.
Advice received about large groups of kids gathered together etc etc
I give it till the end of the month before they shut down the schools.

I think that's almost a given at this point. When you already have the worlds airlines shutting down half their fleet or more, tourism virtually non-existent, local service business going bankrupt, and it's only just begun. And by the very nature of the problem, even if it settled down, will extend for many months. The global financial crisis is really here.
Those who have not prepared for this financially will be in for a world of hurt.
I don't want to be alarmist, but horde your cash and gold now, get as liquid as you can.

Red Squirrel:
Should be interesting for sure to see what happens to the economy.  Shows how fragile it really is though...

I won't pretend to be an expert when it comes to this stuff but I do wonder if in the end it's not a bad thing to shake things up a little.  Kinda like a system reset, so to speak.  Things will eventually stabilize once all this is over I'm sure.  It's a good time to buy.
Bud:
I think it will go right back up as soon as there will be positive news on vaccine development.
