I asked him about masks and reality
His strongest advice is wash your hand constantly and never use your hands/fingers to touch common objects, push elevator buttons with your knuckle. push open doors with your elbow. If you shake hands or open a door knob immediately wash your hands.
You may not stop getting something but you can at least make germs work harder to make you sick
I agree wholeheartedly with your brothers recommendations, I have been doing exactly what he is recommending for years now, it's nothing new for us germaphobes.

I think it is time to run the razor wire across the Florida / Georgia border. Just use it as an excuse to stop the virus, but in reality, to stop the immigration of the Brain Dead Libiturds that ruined their Yankee states and now want to leave the disasters they created and are infesting us.
Ah that's one thing about our Flame, doesn't play any favorites! Flame hates everybody!

And they have started to push us to move all instruction (including labs) to on-line only.
Hopefully they will not force us to do so. Next week is Spring break, so at least wait to see what happens over the next week or so.

Big declines often have 2 or 3 legs downward. Think we're seeing the start of the 2nd leg, so now is probably not the best time to buy, although you could try picking up some values (banks, oil) if you have the stomach to hold them through a deeper decline. Can't predict the future but given Monday's steep drop, we surely have not seen the last of this decline yet . . . .
