<snip, BBM> NYSE suspends floor trading

The New York Stock Exchange will move temporarily to fully electronic trading on Monday, March 23. Floor trading will be suspended because of the coronavirus.

"NYSE's trading floors provide unique value to issuers and investors, but our markets are fully capable of operating in an all-electronic fashion to serve all participants, and we will proceed in that manner until we can re-open our trading floors to our members," said Stacey Cunningham, president of the New York Stock Exchange, in a statement. "While we are taking the precautionary step of closing the trading floors, we continue to firmly believe the markets should remain open and accessible to investors. All NYSE markets will continue to operate under normal trading hours despite the closure of the trading floors."

I hope the President takes the bull by the horns and get these people who are not taking this seriously to shelter in place. FAST! They are killing not just the elderly, but their peers and all medical personnel.

Election will be in November - cannot be cancelled. Constitution mandated. Even martial law cannot cancel it.

Unfortunately, none of that matters if the powers-that-be decide to cancel the election. Who will stop them and how? History would suggest that no one can. I’m not making a prediction, however. Time will tell in these unprecedented times.

I bet he’d like to take a bull by the horns, the Wall Street bull, lol.
I’m wondering, is it not child abuse when a parent blatantly defies direct orders? Our governor said again “don’t try to be the exception”, in regards to isolating. Our chief public health doctor said his daughter isn’t happy about staying in, but she must.

To everyone who has sent condolences, lifted up prayers, sent positive thoughts & even to those who haven’t outwardly said anything, thank you. I know that Jimmy’s family greatly appreciates any & all good vibes & prayers/condolences.

My uncle is taking it pretty bad. He sent an email to the family saying that Jimmy had contracted the virus approximately 12 days before his passing. That he developed multi-lobe pneumonia. And that his wife was able to be with him his last 12 hours of life and that he passed away peacefully.

And yes Jim was elderly, 80 years young. But was healthy as a horse.
 
Just a quick “hi all” to my very appreciated pandemic support group. I’m trying to catch up on the thread and on today’s news. Didn’t get to watch any of the pressers live today.

Busy day as I try to navigate a bunch of kids who are now home- with very unorganized school assignments being provided (or not provided as the case may be).

What a world this has become. I’m still trying to process.
 
One of the Beaufort County residents who tested positive for coronavirus lives in Sun City Hilton Head.

An email from the community’s Board of Directors to residents on Tuesday acknowledged the case of COVID-19 but did not name the person or offer identifying details.

Sun City Hilton Head is a 55-and-older community with more than 16,000 residents. It’s located in the Okatie area with about 8,500 homes in Beaufort and Jasper counties.

(This article was filed prior to the two new cases reported today.)
 
What day is this? Seriously. Where in the week are we?

Even when I stood in front of my kitchen calendar, I struggled to figure out the day, until I remembered yesterday was St. Patrick's Day...so today must be March 18.

Today is Wednesday.

Aww. That is so sad. We are losing our elders and it saddens me. I feel so bad for his family. I am glad his wife was with him though.
