Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The halt did nothing.

Down 2200. Drawing life to more circuit breakers.

Holy shit the Dow CFD market is about to pass 10% down on the day. (Just bounced a little and has found some (maybe temporary) resistance around 9%.

Why are we filling this thread with stock stuff?

Some of that is because getting off of those medications is tricky to do without causing more problems.

When you are lying on your side can you feel your pulse thumping on your pillow? Can you jump to your feet without feeling light headed? If so, you may want to get checked…

When has that stopped them?

I’m starting to think my friend’s bowling birthday party this weekend is a bad idea.

I would bail on that for sure.

Czech Republic going hardcore here

Translation: ‘Czech Republic in a state of emergency: restricts movement, restaurants and events over 30 people’

They’ve banned foreigners from travelling into the CR from 15 countries and Czech citizens from travelling to them. Restaurants and pubs are shut from 8 pm to 6 am. Gyms and other wellness facilities shut down starting tomorrow. Visas and residency permits are no longer being processed. Everybody gets a 3 month extension to file taxes. Means that’s one less time I have to go outside since I was planning to file my return at the tax office tomorrow.

These restrictions will last for at least 30 days.

Up to 96 confirmed cases. Kinda weird to only have two new cases up to now. But knowing how things work, they announce the restrictions and then announce a whole load of new cases.

I went out Sat night for my friend’s bday gathering - thinking it might be the last time I do that for a while. Started out fist-bumping, being very careful about things, not sharing food. Then as the alcohol flowed we were sharing nachos, probably drinks, I had a girl on my lap and played a little kissy face (sick brag I know). We might as well have all just tongued each other and a few servers and bartenders by the end of the night.

Basically alcohol in public is a freaking disaster.

Christ this reads like the headline of an Onion article

Given that pubs are closing here, people are either gonna start day drinking or places are gonna sell out of booze the way CostCo does toilet paper.
