That's less than a fraction of seasonal flu.I really wanted to avoid the back and forth on the subject, whether this whole crisis is justified or not, and focus on the impact, but can't resist... especially living in LA, where we have less than 10 fatalities in this mega city, in 3 months and they still closed everything and sent 30% of the residents to unemployment.

Private money lenders won't be able to resist because their money is insured and secured, unlike the stock market,  and is earning 10% to 12%. 

If you’re not familiar with the area, please resist the temptation to chime in about something you may not know anything about as I can generate paragraphs and paragraphs of reasons why someone should NOT even consider this but would appreciate any potential relevant knowledge.

Sorry Bill, but I couldn't resist. 

For those who travel, I recommend getting some really light, travel-friendly workout gear (resistance bands, etc.) and Youtube search for hotel room workouts.

@Rhonda WilsonThey are not too nice - most of the items chosen were chosen due to quality and indestructability - (from hardwood cabinets with solid boxes (no mdf so much more prone to resist water damage), prehung doors with solid oak jambs to resist damage or if they were damaged they are repairable vs engineered wood most folks put in etc - and I bought all of it for very good prices, sometimes for the same or less than the poor quality products or just mere dollars more - hard woods much more resistant to damage except for my one cabinet door and I know how it broke - I actually hypothesized it may happen when I did the kitchen layout due to how a door opens but did not think I'd find anyone dumb enough to make it happen. 

Real estate became an option for me since I started fanning the flames of a dream to own a lodge in Colorado to host men's leadership retreats.

She is the typical person that resist change, she is terrified of it, it's too much of a risk in her eyes.....so as as result she has been working the same dead end job for 15 years now. 

Market cycles are normal, but 2008 was not normal so people are resistant to claim it can happen again so easily because it's not likely.
