I'll bet bars would be willing to sell some of their on hand stock at retail prices, or even distributors. I seem to always have an absurd amount of bourbon on hand

Unless there is a favorable location to "ride" this out for the next 2 or 3 months, I'd look at flights before you can't

How do you reconcile those estimates against data coming out of countries like China and South Korea where spread already appears to be leveling off? It's easy to question the reliability of data from China, but South Korea is likely more trustworthy.

I decided to pivot my for sale add.

I agree with a lot of that Nivin. As a physician there are perspectives you should support to be the best physician you can be. My ex wife is a physician. I was/am friends with many from her med school class. My opinion on coronavirus makes me a level headed-non panicking-big picture thinking American, but not appropriate for someone who is responsible for treating people that need help.

I think the government actions like travel bans and limiting gathering sizes are justified. The point is containment...incremental, half measures would be pointless. The over-prepared-ness and panic is absolutely causing significant economic collateral damage. I am not worried about corporate America, it s very likely that the stock market will bounce back. OTOH, many small businesses (restaurants, bars, shops, barbers, etc ) and people living paycheck to paycheck will not bounce back. Businesses will be shuttered and houses will be foreclosed over this panic. That will ripple through our economy for years and have a greater effect than the virus itself. Panic and herd mentality over 6 thousanths of a percent will have a lasting impact on large swaths of the population.

...and if your assumption is true that there really are more cases than known or reported that would mean the percentage of fatalities is even lower. Because fatalities can be more easily counted, correct? IE...if there were twice the cases; the fatality rate is cut in half.

I agree that there could be more cases than reported. I disagree with your conclusion about mortality rates. Even if you doubled the cases in China that still 12-thousanths of a single percent in 3 months. I'll be very surprised of cases spread in the US at the same rate as what was 'reported' in China.

Just a bit of perspective.... China's population is approx 1.4 Billion. In 3 months, there have about 81,000 cases which equates to 0.006% of the Chinese Population (1% of China's population would be 14,000,000) US population is about 327 Million. About 1,300 cases in the US which equates to 0.0004% of the US Population (1% of the US population would be 3.2 million). That's cases not deaths. Reason to be concerned...absolutely. Reason to lose your fucking minds and cause an economic meltdown...absolutely fucking not. Feel free to check my math. Probably the most accurate data source available: https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html?fbclid=IwAR2B5QOYzmsIVK8KjrziR6idZgbXNFqT1xkUb2NtUD9a1gcWYpk4FJ_BmuY

Well they did report about 3000 deaths. That would fill a few vans. But yeah, accurate data out of China was an issue long before this.

My company (based in LA) is allowing everyone to work from home. About 20% of us (including me) already work from home.

By percentages, COVID 19 has a higher likelihood of being fatal. Obviously, there are many more people that have the flu.

As of now, there have been about 81,000 cases in China, about 63,000 of those have recovered. The occurrence of newly reported cases in China is slowing. Containment measures in China appear to be having a positive effect. We have lower population density than China and access to better medical care. We also have access to more information than China had when things started in December. https://theconversation.com/coronavirus-ten-reasons-why-you-ought-not-to-panic-132941?utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR3OFNdf9jzhgIjODwFuFKUr1YDWJxmEWXYlJSN6u3Q9jndwcWYkoTvXRVQ

Some of the new Ninja KRT models have Green/Gray decals. Something like that might tie it together.

We decided? My best interest?

Never saw anything like that in any of the reviews. One of the things that stood out to me was how planted it feels. The Dynamic Suspension does take a bit of the road feel away though. Like some road imperfections get absorbed before you can feel them.

Riding wouldn't be an issue. Maybe stopping though. Keep that in mind if you go off road. Plan your lines around dips and low spots.

He was already blazing fast. The cigarette was just rubbing it in your face 🤣 Great guy. Passed years ago, unfortunately, due to a heart issue 😔

Mine is the Roadster. It's fully capable of sport riding or touring without any mods.

A (very fast) guy I used to ride with, would break away from the group and find a place to stop. Then he'd break a cigarette in half and light it. When you caught up he was leaning against his bike "just finishing" his smoke. When I finally got quicker and could stay with him I figured out what he was doing 🤣

First real ride on the BMW this weekend. I haven't liked a bike this much...maybe ever
