A crashed US economy would probably kill many more people than the virus will. Remember the great depression? It would be much uglier now.

The stock market is crashing, that messes us up.

I just read that in Italy if a patient tests positive they are sent to the ICU because they are considered infectious, instead of being sent to a general ward or sent home with drugs like it's normally done with flu and pneumonia, and that is why their ICUs are overflowing. Can anyone verify that?

Ladies and gents. Meet the douche bag of the year Manny Ranga. Amidst the COVID-19 outbreak, him and his wife Violeta Perez hit up every Cosco they can and buy out ALL disinfectant wipes so that nobody ELSE can have them. They turn around and resell on Amazon and Ebay for a huge mark up. Let's make these idiots famous and share their greedy story. Very non Canadian.

Dr. Tara Narula on CBS This Morning, about a week ago, told how to make your own hand sanitizer. One-third cup aloe vera juice, two-thirds cup rubbing alcohol, and a drop or two of lavender essential oil. Is isopropyl alcohol the same as rubbing alcohol? I hope so, 'cuz that was all I could find. I still have plenty of hand sanitizer, both pump size and purse size, but I made a batch anyway just as a test. Seems to work just fine, and I suppose you could make your own wipes with it as well.

I am alive but hate to think of going back to work at my age.

Price gouging is illegal, and they do eventually go after these type of people, and prosecute them. Quite a few were doing things like that here, during hurricane season, when people would try stocking up before a hurricane. Gas stations, and various stores just over the state line would jack their prices up too, gouging people leaving the state. Several months after things got back to normal, the states went after them. They went after quite a few people that were jacking up prices on emergency supplies, on the internet too. Don't worry, many of them will get their just desserts.

That kind of behavior reveals character. It follows a person...
