Agreed.....
Easy to "Monday morning quarterback", but this virus came sorta fast and hard and many reliable sources seemed to be downplaying it early on.
Why?, many possible reasons (lack of info from overseas, lack of understanding in other countries, heck, maybe even lack of believing....).
Whatever, here we are.
Some areas can likely sorta carry on with minimum negative impact, others are going to wait it out for a month or more (I am in the NE USofA tri-state area....)...
Chose what you can deal with, keep in mind your choice may be imposed on others that don't agree with you.
Fortunately for most of my family, we can work from home (or retired) so not a major issue. My daughter worked retail, hope she applied for unemployment....
