All our campsites for the summer have already been reserved and paid for so we're going. We won't be leaving Michigan for the eight or so trips we have planned. If sickness comes around, I might as well be sick around the campfire.

I'm down in a Miami RV resort and have a 4 day cruise to the Bahamas Monday.

I mentioned that cruise while in the resorts 10 person, crowded hot tub.

One asked if I'm concerned about being close to other travelers on the cruise.

I looked around and said " I'm here with you, so I guess not ".

I just had my annual physical on Tuesday. Doctor gave the usual advice, Wash hands often and don’t share a bong with anyone until about June. When you think about it you are better off to be camping somewhere away from everyone else.

As for the stock market I’ll let the 10 cent millionaires give you their expert advice

A bit. We may delay our return to the Dominican Republic late April and we did put off a new Jeep purchase due to the stock market.

We still plan on traveling. The regular flu virus kills many more each flu season here in the USA than what has killed people in China. Millions of Americans get the flu every year. Yet no hype about that.

Nope, I'll be cautious, like any time. This might get worse, but regular flu is killing lots of folks and no panic from that.

The market- IMO the big money managers decided it was a good excuse to pull lots of profit out to reinvest after it crashes worse. It's called concentration of wealth. The companies are still the same as they were before. Those folks are sure a jittery bunch. Oh I might have a sneeze coming, time to sell....

Did you happen to notice the riots in Hong Kong and the unrest in China have been replaced by empty streets?

this! people don't pay attn to the flu cuz it's "just the flu". if the media would announce daily the running death toll from flu people might..might sit up and take notice. as a wise man once said..."this, too, shall pass".

Couldn't Agree More- Knee jerk reaction to a Negative Event--Those that Dumped made some $$ and will Buy back in as Low as it goes.
Virus?- More people have the Flu and Deaths from the Flu are much higher than from this virus Scare !
Stop watching the opinionated News !
