Re: Coronavirus fears hammer markets - how far will it go?
I guess they think all toilet paper comes from China, and they fear there's going to be a long term shortage of shit tickets
Re: Coronavirus fears hammer markets - how far will it go?
Great timing.... My wife flew down to North Carolina yesterday to visit a childhood friend and go to a Hurricanes vs. Penguins hockey game with her (we're from Pittsburgh originally). Between the time she left yesterday and today, they "postponed" all of the NHL games because of the Coronavirus. <sigh> The entire country is going crazy over this. They even cancelled my sons school for today because a "spouse of an employee" at one of the schools in the district came into contact with someone that has a confirmed case of it. So they closed EVERY school in the district in order for ALL of the schools to undergo an "intensive deep cleaning" today and over the weekend.
Stocking up on toilet paper?!?!?! WTF?
Oh well, at least the airline ticket was cheap (she kept waiting to reserve it and the price went down drastically from when she was originally going to book it).

I'm only 30 minutes (east) from Goldsboro. Sorry they can't make a game

Sure is. The best BBQ (Wilbur's BBQ) got shut down cause they didn't pay their taxes. It's a crying shame.

It figures... I *love* good barbecue! She's already raved about some pizza place they went to (I LOVE pizza even more than barbecue!). I'm started to get jealous....
It does suck that they weren't able to go to the hockey game that they had plans and tickets for, but what can you do. At least shes still having a good time.
