Report from the italian front, taffers!
Corona is literally taking NOW every single bed in intensive care units here in North Italy (imagine if South Italy was the epicentre.....a catastrophe! A tsunami in the welfare and care system! )
The severe pneumonia - requiring forced ventilation - rate is MUCH higher that influenza. No vaccine, no real defense, only damage control.
An what about the virus after the symptoms have vanished? Nobody knows SHIT.
Do not look at the deaths (elder peoples), look at RESOURSE STARVATION for every patient (contaminated staff&stuff included) in a medical centre/hospital!

Yeah, an adventure in another ASEPTIC reality

Moved around like a biological hazard, searching for a free intensive care unit.
Pariah (the game) in real life.

Here, I imagine that things will get worse than they are, but they won't rise to the level that we're all sequestered in our homes 8 months from now, donning our face masks and rubber gloves to dare the outdoors only when we're low on supplies.
Things will probably reach their peak in two months. It'll be on the news 24/7, people will be trying to spin things this way and that, Trump will blame everyone he can, and then it'll start tapering off. Three-four months from now, we'll be on the other side of it. By the time we get to the election, it probably won't even be a campaign issue anymore.

The Dow Jones is already rebounding. It's pretty unstable at the moment, but I don't see it dropping the way it did over the last week.
And if we go under quarantine, and the gun toting end of the world preppers are the only ones even remotely safe, then things have been mismanaged to hell and back.

welcome to Murika. seriously depends on how the shit goes, Target/Costco were over run by people buying supplies to the point water & TP were gone out of many stores, some as shown are going into self quarantine , and they will remain there till they are fired or their bills stack way the fuck up, this WILL affect the economy depending on how big the scare is. IF the panic buying continues we are going to see black friday fights over water & supplies, ya'll are fucked if that happens, I am loading the shot gun to go shopping right now...............

I've got my 5 boxes of seltzer water, some squeezy juice, and my cans of beans. I AM GOOD!
...though I could use some shotgun shells.
