There is no “we” to peak. “We” here are behind the northeast, and places like Arizona are behind us. So there’s that. Secondly, “peaking” involves a drop off after; that’s going to take a lot longer than 3 weeks. I don’t think we’ve hit 100 confirmed cases here yet.

There’s a naval hospital ship docked here in SD. The CA governor this morning said to prepare for Italy-like precautions i.e. martial law. A few hours later, ex-Navy I know who has a friend in the national guard says he got called up for this weekend. Maybe certain areas peak in 2-3 months; not 2-3 weeks. And even if it’s that soon, the then tapering off of the outbreak will take a long long time. Think of a bell curve skewed left with the x axis being time.

Whether it peaks in 2-3 months in some areas instead of 2-3 weeks and the tapering off is a long long time we can't shut down all domestic air travel for 6 months and can't shut down businesses for several months. the effects of that would be worse than anything this virus could do.

The numbers out of Italy are horrible but maybe a glimmer of good news.

Nah, I'll take Manhattan 100 times out of 100.

Edit: But to each their own.

Never liked the nightlife vibe in Hoboken, I'm sure it's only gotten worse. Hoboken is such a strange place. It's remade itself a million times over the years. When my dad and uncles were late teens early 20's you would drink in Manhattan and then continue your drinking late night/early mornings in Hoboken. It was a rough place back then.
 
Luckily, the Tahoe ski resorts had a huge Dec, Jan, and Feb. Had this developed in the fall/early winter, game over.

California just issued a mandatory stay at home order.

Was going to Medellin in April for vacation, obviously no longer. Nobody should be flying anywhere for anything.

This. I saw only today, March 19th, that the State Dept is recommending people don't travel internationally. What? Recommending? Ground every damn passenger flight immediately. The fact we are letting people get on airplanes and fly all over the place is something I'm having trouble comprehending.

My wedding is supposed to be in Charleston on April 19th. Good thing we spent two years planning it and the event insurance we were required to purchase doesn’t cover an outbreak. We’re paying either way so we’ll see what happens.

I'm sorry to hear this. I'm sure you aren't alone. My wife when we were saving for our wedding told me if we couldn't save up enough money to have a nice little wedding we'll just get married in the driveway in front of some friends and family and that will be good enough. We managed to save enough for a small wedding (certainly by today's standards- about 50+ people) but the driveway would've been just fine with me.

I wanted to have the wedding here but when she saw pictures of what some of these outdoor places looked like in Charleston she said she didn't care if 5 people showed up that's where she wanted it. It was the avenue of oaks that sold her. We're both in our mid 30's so she wanted her one shot at a beautiful wedding.

There was only going to be about 35 people but we had to pay for the venue, catering, housing etc.. All told, I'm a little embarrassed to admit what it cost. We've decided that if they don't cancel for us then we'll drive down there and have dinner for 35 our selves. If they do, we'll have a small reception here in CT some other time.
 
Big family trip the in-laws take to Maine for 2 weeks every year may be hacked. That’s mid-July.
 
Earlier this week, I canceled my trip to St. Louis sceduled in early April after Pearl Jam postponed their dates through the end of April.

I have a near $300 Southwest credit to use by February. Hopefully SW still exists.
