I’ll admit I’m a little nervous. I’ve had two shows cancel already and the company can only pay me to do nothing for so long. I think my next show will go through, if not I’ve probably got another job I can jump on. Our busy season is coming up fast though. If shows keep cancelling we might be in real trouble. And my bank account isn’t quite as big as Disney’s is.

^^^^^^
Situations such as this create opportunity in other areas. Flexibility and the willingness to work go a long way. Many small business entrepreneurs have that drive. I learned that after Katrina that if you were in the military or worked for the government you were taken care of and had no lost wages. I was not in that category and had to fend for myself. I survived and am stronger for it. I would like to hear more about Resilence in the press.

We may as well be invisible except in an election year.

My employer is having an "Officer's Conference" next month in Tampa, and if they cancel I'm going to be pissed. My wife and I have a vacation specifically planned around the conference. In any case, I won't be canceling or curtailing any of my upcoming travels.

I'm praying though that by April a majority of this IRRATIONAL hysteria will cease. This is doing real harm to many different industries (except maybe Campbell soup) for really no good reason. Of course there's real risk of contracting this virus, we go through life accepting all sorts of risks every single day, but the level of harm being done here by some gross overreactions just doesn't jive with the level of risk that this virus seems to pose. Of course that's just my lowly, non-medical opinion.


I think you need to be prepared for this to be cancelled, as this is beginning to hit all over.

I work for a large defense contractor, and they have basically just banned all non-essential travel at this point. We were also told that any upcoming conferences that we host at our facility for our government customers were also cancelled for the foreseeable future.

Tennessee has its first reported case of coronavirus by a middle Tennessee man who traveled out of the state...

In Tennessee...

coronavirus=1 person sick.
Tornadoes= 24+ People dead.

This puts things in perspective for me Frown

. Lefse is a soft tortilla made from potatoes, it is eaten buttered ,sugared and rolled up. They are actually pretty good. My tribe leans toward Kumla, ham and Kringlas.

As people change their behavior to avoid contact, there is a chance the change will become permanent.
Maybe after a month, one decides they don't miss going to the movie, sporting event or bar as much as they thought. Could be permanent changes if this gets bad.
Maybe more people will stay stay at home and drink and save money

I guess they can stay home and eat Jello instead. Texas has farm to market roads unlike Minnesota.

I almost wish I’d get the damn bug just so I can build up some immunity and get things over with. This irrational panic is crazy.




“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

I'm looking forward to staying home for a few weeks. Alone with an opportunity to catch up on my reading list. No obligations or responsibilities. Sounds like heaven.

Wait? Are the wife and kids staying home too?

oh my gosh....

the airlines are all atwitter

they're gonna lose $100 BILLION dollars because of this flu

here's a question...how do you loose $100 Billion that you never had in the first place?

it might be potential (future) revenue, but it certainly isn't cash in hand today that all of a sudden went poof

and its not like the airlines have ever made much money anyway...even if they made the $100 BILLION, chances are they'd still be operating in bankruptcy
