Just wanted to take a minute to wish everyone the best of luck during these rough times in the upcoming day and months. Doesn't look like it is going to slow down anytime soon. Here in Ohio we just had our first 3 cases reported today in the Cleveland area. I know NYC currently has the highest reported cases.
For us older folks take extra caution to avoid crowds and confined areas. From what I'm reading it seems that people in their mid 50's and older are at the greatest risk of serious complications and death. Instead of going in the store use their pick up service. Most of the bigger name grocery stores such as Walmart offer it. Also, wipe down anything you might get in the mail or from UPS. Sounds like the extreme but you only get one chance to get this right I would also stock up on enough supplies such as water, can goods and other essentials to get you through about a 3 week period if needed. Also keep plenty of medicine for cold and flu on hand. If this continues to spread it is just a matter of time before the supply of consumer goods will be effected.
On a side note - a word to the younger members - don't panic over the stock market. I know it is easier said then done but it will recover. Moving money or selling off what you have will only cost you. It might take some time but the market will recover. Your age is in your favor.
Wishing everyone and their families the best.
