COVID-19 2020

[Justin Tonation]

Nooo... now that’s what I hear when I see it

If anything, this makes this near-pandemic seem so much more approachable.

GAWDDAMMIT.  I give talks, updates and presentations on COVID-19 all day.  Now it will come out in song every time....

For extra effect, say “pandemic” like Van Halen in “Panama”.

No we can't talk at all

At what point do we shut shit down and everyone stays in their house for a few weeks until we get a grip on this thing? We all could use a vacation anyway.

If we all get moved to teleworking, just think of the ancillary cost of all the marriages strained by arguments over house cleaning protocols!

Honestly, I wish that's what everyone would do.

Can you imagine the impact on the economy?  Think of all the hourly workers who wouldn't get paychecks.  I don't think the $$ should be our only focus, but I think we need to focus on awareness, detection and help for those infected.  This is not ebola.  I think this is a serious thing and people (and hopefully our government) should take it seriously. But I think closing everything down for a few weeks would have massive unintended consequences

They had one gathering attended by one carrier and are now closing five schools in Bucks County, PA!!

At this rate everything will be shutting down soon...

But don’t we need people to work at grocery stores, hospitals etc?
