It seems the Covid 19 virus is effecting every type of business. The schools in Ontario will shut down for 2 weeks after the March break. Travel, restaurants, health care, etc. are being effected. This is going to trickle down to car sales, Vettes are in that group. Anyone else loose customers as a direct or indirect result of the virus? First 30 minutes after opening today, 5 customers placed a hold on their status. Fingers crossed that this is just a large bump in the road that will be resolved quickly.

It is going to affect everything because they are just about closing everything down...which will affect everything else.
So we are looking at a one to two months of slow times. I have begun to wonder why toilet paper is flying off the shelves when this is a respiratory disease???
Best summary I read was:
Will you get it ? Probably
Will you die from it? If your body is not already compromised with another illness then not likely
Hey guys, looks like it affects older men more than others. Again most likely because of underlying causes. I have taken to drinking Corona beer for it's anti-viral qualities.
Latest from Italy was that all the deaths were people over 60 and the majority were over 80. Gives us a fighting chance.
If you want to read something that is pretty factual then have a read at this. You have to scroll down a bit.
Case Fatality Rate (CFR), Infection Fatality Rate (IFR), and Crude Mortality Rate (CMR) latest estimates for the COVID-19 disease from the SARS-CoV-2 virus originating from Wuhan, China
What they are trying to do is slow it down. It can not be stopped. They just don't want the hospitals overwhelmed with this, as though the hospitals are not already at their limits.
Daughter just got new marching orders yesterday. Any patients scheduling rendezvous' that present themselves with a cough or other symptoms will be triaged first before seeing a doctor. Guess they want to try and keep the doctors healthy.
If you can guys and gals keep on with a more or less normal life so the economy does not completely tank. There will be a lot of hard times for restaurants, theatres, etc if no one is out there. Just take care to wash your hands and note that no one else is coughing around you or falls face down in their soup.
Off to a sugar shack tomorrow
Keep well and healthy guys and gals
P.S. Don't you wish the DON was running Canada. After all he has been asked how come he knows so much about Corona hence the US response to the now declared pandemic. According to their health officials they dropped the ball.
ROFL LMAO except it affects a lot of good people down there as well
