What's really going to sting the studios is they are having to suspend filming of movies in production and send everyone home. That is going to eat into the second yacht budget. Tom Hanks and his wife have tested positive so not only is his life in danger considering his age but that movie is as dead as Elvis for the time being. What don’t the media get that the flu kills more people each year!!! So does diarrhea, but SARS-CoV-2 is way more infectious and deadly than the flu. For context, covid19 kills 1 out 10 patients with heart disease, 1 out of 20 patients with high blood pressure, and I can't remember the numbers for people with any kind of respiratory problems but it's high. And 15-20% of people who get the virus require hospitalization so if the virus spreads too quickly it could overwhelm hospitals and treatment will not be possible for some people so the death rate will increase. The quarantines and travel restrictions are measures to slow the spread of the virus to prevent health care from being overwhelmed. I went in for a checkup yesterday and they didn't have anyone to take a blood sample because phlebotomists were all reassigned to do coronavirus checks and my doc didn't want to risk sending me to the testing station.
