    10 months we are possibly in a depression. 10 years from now a stick of bubblegum may cost $10 due to the amount of money printed to support shit businesses today. No way to know for sure, but these possibilities just as good as any.

    I will always say Corona was overrated and we all should have just kept our distance and wore masks from the start via China and SK.. Economy should be open like China and South Korea are doing now but under these restrictions..

    Corona does spread fast and can kill the old and weak, no doubt about that.. Isolate the old more..

    I would say months from now politicians were starting to be over cautious to say they did the right thing with Corona to get brownie points when it's over rather then taking the chance and re-opening the economy now with Masks and Social distancing..

    Well we can learn from them and we have with social distancing and masks, washing of hands and what not.. South Korea got on that horse quick and back up and running now.. America can do the same.. Italy on the rebound now also.

    We're seeing technological advances that will carry over thru the next decade because of this. Most chit can be done without leaving the house. Silicon valley geniuses gotta be working them brains right now.

    A huge global overreaction that led to the brink of worldwide economic collapse before President Trump took the lead, thereby further solidifying his status as the best President of modern times.

    It's interesting to me that social services can be so expedited with a phone call now. And, medical telehealth video appts is a done deal. No reason to slow roll now. Legal, insurance, purchases, etc..all just a click away.

    It is now being discovered that it's reactivating in ppl who have already had it.

    We are in big trouble if a cure isn't found.

    There won't be a cure, just like there isn't one for the common cold or the flu.

    But there will likely be a vaccine.

    Let's hope there is and soon

    If it is remaining and reactivating in ppl, that could mean it's possible that everyone who gets it might get quarantined until a vaccine does come along.

    I agree, but it is a long way off. Probably about effective as the current flu vaccine. Hit and miss.
    Any appreciable medical intervention in this is "pie in the sky" and is probably years away.

    It will be remembered as the triggering event that led to the virtual end of capitalism, wide-spread socialism and the beginning of the adaptation of zero percent growth policies which will be standard operating procedure in 30 years.

    If it is reactivating in ppl who have it, and they never truly rid of it or become immune to it, we could see families torn apart if they decide to separate those with & without it.

    Every country's top scientists should be working side by side on this, instead of trying to beat each other to the punch like what is probably going on.

    First off, dont trust china...the numbers were a lie...some evidence claims virus was from a lab in china. We dont have enough time to tell what works andn doesnt. Went to cracker barrell..only doing 15 percent of business, 110 employylees..100 laid off...mindblowing numbers. People who got unemployment wont pay any taxes if this goes on..cant pay it. This is bad bad. 911 was nothing in comparison.

    MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO)*— Some gas stations around Minnesota are selling gas for the lowest prices seen in decades.

    According to GasBuddy.com, the lowest price of gas in the state on Thursday is $0.78 a gallon in Lake City, Minnesota. Red Wing is not too far behind with $0.84 a gallon at one gas station.

    For some perspective, the Minnesota Historical Society has pictures from 1979 showing similar gas prices in West St. Paul.
