COvid-19
CDC director has just thrown the red flag. Study up on force majeure, in the UPA.
“It’s not a question of if this will happen but when this will happen and how many people in this country will have severe illnesses,” the top public health official added. “Disruption to everyday life might be severe.” Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases,

I realize this virus is bad but compared to the victims in our country for the flu it seems like there is some Y2K panic setting in.

I’m sure some of the champions I’ve flown with in the past are already sealing themselves in their basements with duct tape and peeing in kitty litter.

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden...-estimates.htm
Current estimated deaths from Coronavirus is roughly 2%.
https://amp.theguardian.com/world/20...wuhan-covid-19
WHO is estimating 60% of the population will catch it at some point.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.the...lds-population
This will likely get worse if hospitals start getting overwhelmed. There are not enough ICU beds in the US to meet the estimated demand. In addition to the 2% death rate, 3% face serious lung complications that will likely leave them permanently disabled.
If 60% of the planet gets infected, and ICU’s and standard of care are maintained, roughly 92 million people will die and 180 million will live with serious long term lung issues.
Am I going to lock myself in a basement and only leave in a biohazard suit? No. I’m in international airports full of travelers from around the world 4 days a week. If this spreads, I’m going to get it. But this is literally several orders of magnitude worse than the flu. While my chances of survival as a healthy, young-ish person are pretty good, I am very worried about accidentally infecting my elderly parents and very worried about the effects this will have on the economy. The sky is not falling but maybe it’s time to tighten the belt a little and take some basic health precautions.

Winston You’re correct. It is no longer in ours, and has been replaced by about a paragraph explaining examples of it. At one time many labor contracts had it..I think Delta does still..
The result is the same however.
The travel industry will be one of the most affected by the perception if not the reality of the pandemic. The 2020 Olympic committee is considering cancelling the Tokyo games.

People are not too keen on being locked in a pressurized tube with so someone else who might be sick with it.
