also the market dropped another 700 points today. We're down 4000 points in a single week. Most drop in history. Maybe this virus will kill us all, but that is far from clear. The herd mentality, amplified by social media, is really driving the panic right now. As many of you have probably gathered from other posts, I've been pretty negative about AA specifically lately. But I am optimistic that the coronavirus won't be nearly as bad as some would have you believe. As always, I could be wrong. |

How many who have been sick and just stayed home like they normally do, and got better? Do you personally go see a doctor every time you're sick? I don't. Most people don't. If you're that afraid, take time off from your job, barricade yourself in your home, and wait it out.
I bet with time we'll see the perception was far worse than the reality. Since only three states have testing kits, and the CDC has already recalled the first set of kits, we have no way about knowing how many mild or asymptomatic cases are out there. The CDC intends to do random testing in a number of cities to try to determine what exactly the case fatality rate is. I’d be willing to bet it’s much closer to 0.2% rather than 2%. https://i.ibb.co/mC11zNG/311-DCC97-1...14-A162-B6.jpg |

Actually the market had a little run at the end of the day and was "only" down 357 at close. The Nasdaq actually barely eked out a gain. So not a good week by any stretch, but I don't think it was the worst week in history on a percentage basis.

How much of that is Amazon and other tech companies not worrying about spreading the virus, well-being of its employees, etc. But trying to avoid several thousand employees from calling out sick at the same time when they come down with what is essentially a cold for most people?
