Outside of the near maniacal daily media fed hysteria, how has the outbreak of the corona virus effected your business? I can tell you where I work, it's negligible. Our customers are talking about it and are concerned, but they're still buying cars, maintenance services for them, plus parts and accessories. We're rockin' and rollin'. Another record month in February!

Just curious if the ongoing hysteria has caused any loss of business for anynone else who needs to earn their living?

Biggest issue at our office has been finding hand sanitizer because it is sold out everywhere.

Business has taken an uptick for us. Some clientelle that opted to move their products to China now find themselves up **** creek, so we're being asked to quote and produce much more work, and at rates that are profitable. We're not gouging them on price though, but we're also not having to discount to get close to Chinese pricing.

My company has eliminated travel which will have a huge impact not only on our business but with other large companies doing the same, it is affecting the travel industry in a big way.. Our stock is down over 10% the past two weeks. That is a ton for our stock price as it is a very high performer.

It finally impacted me today, somewhat. We're not allowed to travel until May. Stoopid.

You only work part time, you don't make much money so I understand why you're more concerned.

His only concern is that continuing good business atmosphere isn't good for the Democrat Socialist party.....doesn't help them to grow their base per Keyster.....

HR and managers are very active to tell employees to go home and work remotely if they see someone cough or sneeze. Talk about over doing it. But they are following corporate policy.

Just wash your hands and don't lick them...stay away from people not smart enough to cover a cough or a sneeze.

Maniacal, "world wide" media! It only seems that way to suckers worried about propping up their fool, lmfao. Is the "media" causing the Stock market uncertainty too? just ignore us and pretend he really is a stable genius with an adept administration of experts he listens too, lmfao. Ya'll project what scares ya daily on here. Only folks acting worried are the ones protecting their boy, the rest of us just washing our hands and looking at Statistics. But hell, if the "media" tells me NJ is going to close their schools you fools call that hysteria, donnies dumbells are happy to be uninformed, most Americans like to make up our own minds, he is a good look on his tribe, grow that base!

Mandatory update meeting Thursday. I'm going to guess they're telling all NEP to work from home.
