What are people saying about coronavirus over on that side of the world? The Japanese media has been reporting it nonstop and is getting people worked up. The government just announced that public schools will be shut down until April. The problem with that is Japan already have a severe shortage of daycare spaces. Who is going to take care of all those kids?
Concern but no panic here. On the news today they were reporting that stores were running out of masks and hand sanitiser. One of the Canadians officials involved with the olympics, was saying that there are concerns that olympics could be cancelled if things get worse.
I'd be very surprised if the Olympics got cancelled. Japan has put/wasted too much money on it.

There is definitely more panic than it deserves so far... with only a few confirmed cases in North America I don't think we need to be freaking out yet.
But I am actually just reading one of my personal finance forums and lots of people are panicking about the impact it's having on the stock market.
There's that as well. I own shares in quite a few companies and they have been taking a pounding this week. I am not all that worried about it because the market always recovers. You just have to hang on and wait it out.
yeah, I'm not that worried... and really, it's not like we are down THAT much overall (over here anyway)
Although the TSX had to be shut down today because of technical issues.... so yeah, people are panic selling for sure

I wouldn't mind some snow. There is none here at all.
Weather has been a roller coaster the past week and a half. bitter cold, to mild, to warm +9, to major snowstorm. today was around 0 this morning and is now -8 with a bone chilling -16 windchill.
Yesterday I could see patches of grass on my front lawn.
