Well, we're on the map. COVID-19 patient identified in Lexington. I figured the first case would be here in Louisville - international airport, UPS world shipping hub.
Italy is going all-in on containment, effectively quarantining about a quarter of its entire population, including Milan. That's going to be a hard hit, as Milan's the nation's economic capital. I figure that'll be a global effect, an economic slump.
