Scuse me while I make a run to Costco to buy out their stock of toilet paper for my bunker. 😷

Certainly will if CNN and the media has their, say. Keep in mind 80,000 people died last year from the flu virus, just in the U.S., we are not even writhing telescope range of seeing that, and the vaccine is 47% effective....yet the TV news hardly mentions it.

Just remember that we have something that we didn’t have during the Dark Decade. We have at least 400+ retirements per year. Any possible retirement age increase hasn’t even been written by our National Legislators. Any age increase has to be codified into law.

“The coronavirus has already sent stock markets into convulsions, rattled supply chains and forced companies to dust off emergency response plans. Stocks plunged again on Thursday, with the S&P 500 falling more than 3 percent. But the abrupt decline in global air travel suggests that the economic impacts of the outbreak may be entering a more disruptive phase.
It has been almost 20 years since the aviation industry faced such an existential threat. After the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, global air travel plummeted, and it took years for airlines to fully recover. Today there are worries that the coronavirus could have a similarly disastrous impact”

Are you and others here recommending no advance financial preparation? That seems like a poor course of action.

I prepare for every checkride. Consider this to be a financial checkride. We may not see a single furlough but I'm going to be prepared in case I take a hefty paycut.

Exactly. This is going to be longer than 2 years.The recession this has caused will be pretty deep. As noted in the NYTimes...
