Suck it, Liechtenstein!

And, no, our CDC budget is only higher than about 40 countries' GDP. It used to be more (by about 7), but Trump has asked for a $1B reduction from 7.6B to 6.5B since he took office.

Guess we might find out how the US would respond to China-like containment efforts.

My wife already asked if I could stop flying each month.

Did you respond with, "Well, that depends. Do you enjoy eating food and living in a house?"

Lol. Nah, my work would probably be cool with it. I didn't fly out for a few months last year when my MIL had some health issues and my wife was helping out.

But I don't think we're at that point yet.

Our CEO just emailed: the company has cancelled an R&D-org-wide (like, 1000+ people) event. Other external events (like Mobile World Congress in Barcelona) have been cancelled.

Not sure if cats and dogs are living together yet, but they're definitely hooking up on Tinder.

Well, now everyone else has to pile on. I wonder if enough people will stay home that I get to be upgraded to 1st class again?

I'd like it if this kept the elderly out of the YMCA swimming pool's lap lanes.

Well, except they won't give $$$ to the Y, so they'll have to close the pool.

Told my wife the worst case scenario for DTW 2020 is they cancel, and then re-book Mumford and Sons for 2021.
