Chinese leadership didn’t move fast enough. No one was prepared for this inevitable earthquake in spite of recent history with MERS and SARS and Ebola. And now many are treating the infringement on their personal life with utter disdain. We’re relearning how to live for those around us, or going to die if we fail. Back to the Black Death if the virus is really noxious, too soon to tell. We’ve yet to really mobilize to solve this, our leaders are kleptocrats (https://www.lexico.com/definition/kleptocrat) who can’t see how solving this furthers their personal greed.”</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><em>…  drain my glass and push it gently toward Mechelle …</em></span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">  “So I’ll drink and hunker down and hope. My properties are all under orders to take care of our guests and the staff and be the first to adopt to what their local authorities request. Revenues are dropping like a stone into a bottomless well. Cruise ships aren’t moving, no airplanes landing, cancelled bookings. We’ve offered our hotels to care for normal hospital patients so the hospitals can handle the isolation patients. So far, we’re making payroll but rapidly eroding our ability to do even that. My New York office is all working from home. We’ve decided to do what we always do, focus on our staff and their best interests. And if that pushes us to bankruptcy, so be it. People first, last, and always. I don’t know another way, I guess.”</span></span><br/><br/><span style="text-decoration: overline;">              </span><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">I’m at home in Florida, watching the news of all the college kids who just have to have their spring break and pack the beaches and drink. And take the virus back home to share with friends and family. Authorities afraid to shut down the beaches. Closer to us, cruise lines shut down last weekend and hotels that cater to cruisers are shutting down for lack of guests. I fear for our local restaurants, the folks who serve us are friends. Going to order for takeout, I’m guessing. Grocery stores are recovering but not back from the initial rush earlier this week. All y’all, be well and carry on.<br/><br/>Much love,<br/>  — <em>J</em></span></span><br/>
