This is spectacular.
By the way, none of this stuff is going away after "things get back to normal." These plexiglass barriers are going to be up forever.

Also things won't be going back to normal for quite a while. I've been on a number of market calls the last few weeks with various economists and by and large they're not expecting to see a recovery until 2021 at the earliest. The expectation is we will open back up and the virus will resurge again probably in the fall. Until there's a vaccine developed this is the new normal.

The general assumption in the medical community isn’t “if” you’ll get it, but “when”. So if we flatten the curve effectively it’ll also likely prolong the economic effects over a longer time horizon. I’m happy w that outcome despite personal setbacks it’ll bring me.

I was reading WSJ predictions of an additional 20% drop before the market bottoms. 2021 seems likely.

And people obviously had a reason to hoard. This was eventually going to happen.

So long as congress extends the extra unemployment we can weather this storm until next year.

If not, see you guys in the wastelands.

Plexiglass? Those are shower curtains.

Lord, and Bush Jr of all people knew this was coming.

Well, that's a way of looking at it for sure.
