I think the US is finally woke. Pretty much every public school in the country at this point is closed. New York city finally closed its public schools a few hours ago. I think it’s only a matter of days (or hours, maybe) until all bars, restaurants, and gyms will get closed too — an action that…

Well today was interesting. I think today will be remembered as the turning point — the moment that the US went from a pandemic…

I’m starting this journal in case things get real.

I don’t know how bad they’ll get, but China, Italy, Korea, and Iran are not reassuring.

I have a cough that I picked up in Toronto last week on a business trip, unsurprisingly, given that I was…

Can I just pause the world for a few days and have a vacation?

Anyways… what’s new:

• Cuomo tells New York City to brace for a “shelter-in-place” order within 48 hours.
• The ratio of masks to non-masks when I look out the window…

Things are pretty scary out there. But I also, finally, am seeing the world starting to wake up and take this seriously. Unfortunately it’s too late and I believe the US will likely be at least as bad as Wuhan and Italy, and more than likely much worse.

Today was interesting, just like yesterday. The market dropped another 4.5%. I’ve never seen it drop that much in one day before. I’ve given myself a few scares reading some speculative information that the virus could be in your system forever and that nobody ever really recovers and just get…

Another day in the life.

As predicted, we’ve started to see some positive tests and community spread. We saw our first community spread in NYC and one in Raleigh, NC today. It was expected, but it’s terrifying just the same. Lots more in Washington, which seems to be emerging…

Today was the calm before the storm. Or maybe the eye of the storm is a better analogy — they say the wind stops and the blue sky comes out when you’re in the eye of a hurricane, before the second part of the storm finishes.
