On the bright side it's all the better that I got fired from my job at the airport, such places are high risk I imagine.

Looks like this will be pretty bad for every countries economy. I expect most people will hardly venture out these days. I don't go out often so no big deal for me. However if a majority of people start acting like me and not go to movie theaters, restaurants, etc then goodbye consumer economy. Looks like the poor people in service jobs will be hit hard.

It probably won't be worse than 08 crash but most countries will take awhile to recover from all this.

I'm just glad they cancelled SXSW now Austin won't be flooded with people from all over the country.

I think human ignorance will trump fear, the desire to live life rather than stay safe. There are tons of dangers going outside, I don't think one more to the already massive list will change anything.
