No travel to US from Europe for 30 days.  (a bit too late in the game for that now...)   

The travel photo gig I was going on in April (Paris, Southern Provence, Nice and St Tropez) was cancelled last week.   I and the owner of the travel agency that organized and chartered this trip will still get paid (insurance..) but the economic impact for the state of Florida will be significant.  No Transatlantic cruises will be happening, I was at the Ritz Carlton on the beach for lunch today and the manager told me that they are down 78% now.  He said they are going to start offering a local deal of $99 for 2 nights stay.  Keep in mind spring break is going on right now and there should be NO vacancy on the beach, let alone 78% at the Ritz.

Good news is that if fears are correct, it will wipe out the elderly and those with compromised immune systems.  You can expect an abundance of condos to hit the market in six months here in FL since the majority of the state is old farts. 

I have 6-7 months before my trip to Europ

Given that he's a big ChiCom kissass, I hope that Lebron James gets it BAD.   

Fuck the NBA.

We’re just hitting the tip of the iceberg.  These next few weeks are going to be nasty.

Finger pointing and blaming won't change a thing. People in positions of leadership, including Trump, are doing the best they know how with regards to the coronavirus considering it is a situation which is new to everyone and any steps taken to control it are merely guesswork.

If Wuhan hadn't happened a month+ before I'd agree, we were given the blueprints, but we ignored it and dismissed the Chinese reaction as Draconian.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood - like a box of chocolates - but, Houston, we have a problem.

Well now he has more time to stream games on Twitch.


WATCH: Devin Booker Finds Out About NBA Suspended Season Live on Twitch While Playing Call of Duty: Warzone

Following the cancellation of E3, the NBA became the latest organization to take emergency action in face of the coronavirus, suspending its season until further notice. The news is currently dominating social media, but apparently hadn't made its way to Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker, who found out about the news live on Twitch while streaming Call of Duty: Warzone, the new free-to-play battle royale game on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

While he's not busy putting the Phoenix Suns on his back, the 23-year-old shooting guard from Grand Rapids, Michigan sometimes streams himself playing games on Twitch. Tonight's stream was a pretty normal one for Booker, until he found out he won't be playing basketball anytime soon while live on the platform, in the middle of a Warzone match.

Perhaps we’re all going to catch that Virus & all Die

Nope.

Man made. Came from China. It turns out it targets old people and wipes them off the map.

Read the headline articles from 2017 about China.

If it was the US or France no one would believe it. But China? Surely it isn't a leap of faith to believe they were planning small, controlled population control on their mainland and  now by accident it's global and fucking everybody. This is why you don't fuck with germ warefare.

They made it. They know everything about it but didnt say shit to anybody because it's their own virus.  So it makes sense that those who created it, reacted the fastest and in the most draconian manner.

Meanwhile the western world doesnt weld people.shut in their homes. So watchya gunna do?
