I think it will be interesting to look back in two or three months on all the prognostications to and see exactly who was right and wrong.

The good/bad news for the car industry is that new sales have been declining steadily so the break in the supply chain won't hurt that much IMO.

Nursing homes and assisted living facilities will adjust how they care for the most vulnerable. Some friends who work at these facilities have said changes are already being made very quickly.

Yep... the online retailers are gonna make a killing on this one.

I don't get the fear by otherwise healthy people to go to a store. I'm considered a germophobe by my wife (RN) and I haven't changed my shopping habits. I just do the same things I would normally do when I leave a place where a lot of people are. I have hand sanitizer in the car and I use it. I don't touch my face at all and it's painful for me when my eyes itch from allergies sometimes but I just won't do it.

My guess... and yep it's only a guess but by mid summer the market is back up to 28K

One more thing: The reason they anticipate the virus diminishing in the summer is because people get outside more often from what I've read. Being outside rather than in confined spaces is supposed to reduce the spread. I don't get it but that's what I've been reading about it.
