So I came back from Florida today. Super long drive. Ugh....
A little tale....
I am probably one of the least germophobic people you will meet. I could care less about toilet seats at gas stations, door handles in public bathrooms, or sniffling fast food clerks.
Today these things raised the hair on my neck. Covid19 is not here in volume yet so I ignored it.
But I can tell you this.....
If Covid19 was here in any volume I would have avoided all of these encounters as much as possible. I would have stayed home and or done whatever I could to minimize any contact.
I am not a germophobe. Most people are.
75 percent of our economy is services.
I am sticking with my thesis that unless this is contained somehow, the global economy is screwed because people will want to minimize contact. Heck some people here won’t open a box from China without gloves even though it has been in transit for weeks.
I think some of what is going on is people are denying it will be a huge problem because they cannot control it. They want to control it so they insist it won’t happen.
