The Corona virus finally gets to The Horse.

We have been hardly hit by the virus from at least two weeks here in Europe. We stay home, I already stocked food, I do not go outside for the moment. All schools and pre-schools are closed here. Kids are a dangerous vehicle of the virus, they do not figure positive, they have no symptoms but they spread the virus.

The whole economy is slowing down and we all will bear the load sooner or later.

We are also on a lockdown here but it starts Sunday night, after midnight.

I’m sorry, but you are wise to have a backup savings.

I stayed home today but I got to work the racetrack tomorrow, so some red necks still wanna live free.

School here has been suspended for a month. My kids are staying indoors for now. Our city isn't on lockdown, but we're told to limit mobility. Do stay safe.

I believe that no matter who we are, where we are or what we do, all of us, in one way or another are being hit my Corona. That's great that you were able to save. My husband and I do the same. We always try to save for a rainy day. It looks like we're all having a rainy day.

Just nicked so far...but it seems to be affecting everyone to one degree or another.

They closed all schools and universities on Thursday, but we're supposed to be teaching from home so I'm going to spend the weekend quarreling with digital teaching platforms. Financially I suppose I'll benefit from it. I'm not going to lose my job any time soon, petrol is cheap, I drive less and most important: I can't buy lunch in the cantina every day. Which is upsetting, 'cause they make better food than I do.

That was to happen sooner or later. Good that you can manage yourself through your savings. Although it has affected me indirectly, no direct effect as yet hope that time will not come.

I had to scramble to write a "Continuing of Operations Plan" in the event our staff gets wiped out by the virus. Seriously. What our plan would be if we lost 10%, 30% and 50% of our workforce due to the virus. No easy task. And our county and city are shutting down almost every event. I had to present a budget impact report of what the city would lose (or save) if I shut down all of our city pools. We've been instructed to shut down any event that has estimated attendance over 500 people. I have a big swim meet this weekend at one of our pools, probably will have about 600 people, I told them to go ahead and run the event. It was supposed to be just a Saturday event, but I added on Sunday so we can spread out the crowd over two days so I can technically say there were less than 500 people each day. Swim teams from all over the state have traveled here for the meet, so I don't want their efforts to be in vain. I also have a big water polo tournament scheduled for next weekend at one pool, and a big synchronized swimming event at another pool. I have a feeling both of those will be cancelled as this panic over the virus continues to get worse.

You've been working 30 hours a day? Wow, good for you.

Don't forget to file for unemployment. The shelves are empty here too. They should be limiting quantities for these hoarders that show up! Stay safe and healthy!

sorry about that, the economic impact of this is going to be huge.

Everywhere we go offline or online. Shops or online. This site or others, everyone is talking about NCOVID-19. At times, it makes us mentally stressed. What worries people range from - will economic downturn impact our careers and jobs to probable shortage of things. Sometimes I am thinking that I should think less about it, lest it impacts me more in my mind than actually. Yet fear do persists. And well, those wearing masks permanently outdoors make others more fearful. One Indian state's Chief Minister has rightly advised people from stocking up on and wearing face masks unnecessarily.

Every day the number of infected people increases, glad you can handle it.

Good thing that you have savings.

Except empty toilet paper shelves I havent had no difference.

There were many shelves empty this afternoon when I went to the supermarket.

I too work on a hourly basis and paid according to number of hours I work. I am not a full time regular employee there and don't enjoy the benefits of full time employees. So closing down of schools has definitely impacted my earnings. And now they are canceling all summer camps. And my summer camp was a huge hit each year. I earned good in that.
