> if our idiot president succeeds in closing the Mexican border
Wait, is he trying to do that? Why is that his solution to everything?

He just got given a new excuse to close some borders. It would surprise me if he didn't make use of that.

San Francisco just reported its first cases today, but there's definitely been panic shopping. The city closed down Lowell today as a precautionary measure (but that leaves nearly 200 campuses open).
Even if you don't suffer any health or financial effects (unlikely) you'll still be effected if:
- More schools close, even more if parents have to take time off from work en masse
- Public transit becomes a big vector and BART or Muni try to shut down or reduce service
- People continue to panic shop. NPR had a photo from a Marin Target with shelves bare of disinfectant wipes. Rainbow in the city was almost completely out of canned tomatoes on Monday.
- On a federal level, if our idiot president succeeds in closing the Mexican border you'll definitely feel some pain
