Three, we’re sitting tight on all of our investments. It might cost you a little to wait, but it might save you a ton on anything nonrefundable if you wait and it turns out that summer travel isn’t advised. Again, it’s not a major issue to wait a little while to lock in travel plans for the spring and summer. Two, we haven’t locked in our summer vacation travel plans yet, something we’ve usually done at this point in the year. It just may mean a few disruptions, like low quantities on a few items at the store and some travel restrictions.

There’s basically no reason to go to extremes even the worst-case outcome of coronavirus doesn’t mean some kind of “Walking Dead” scenario. You should consider the same with household supplies, too - have ample amounts on hand, but there’s no need to fill your entire basement with toilet paper. I think it’s reasonable right now to buy some non-perishable foods in bulk and just stick them in the cupboards with the intent to gradually eat them regardless of what happens over the next few months. Again, this is stuff that we will eventually eat over the next several months it’s not extra stuff purchased that we won’t be able to eat. We know we’ll eventually eat all of this stuff as a normal course of life, but we have a lot of pasta, flour and canned foods. One, we’re definitely on the high end in terms of non-perishable foods in our pantry. What do I suggest doing? I am not a public health expert, so I can’t really suggest what’s right for you, but I can share what our family is doing. On the other hand, two months from now, a lot of American business could be on lockdown with pretty much all public gatherings banned and a lot of people very ill (current data suggests that about 20% of people who get coronavirus get seriously ill, with some small percentage of those being fatal, but the other 80% get either no symptoms at all or only minor illness). Two months from now, it could be essentially forgotten. The problem with something like coronavirus is that the potential directions in which it could go in the next few months are, shall we say, incredibly different. What should a reasonable person do right now?


With the big drop in the stock market and all of the news reports about coronavirus, I am worried about what to do. Let’s start with the big question, one I’ve heard in some form several times in the last week. I’m resting, I’m maybe a bit sore and just a touch tired but still alert, and I’m doing something I enjoy doing in the aftermath of a day well-lived.

I usually feel best near the end of a day where I’ve done a lot of worthwhile things in many areas of my life - good professional work, parenting, social connections, relationship building with my wife, getting a lot of personal tasks done, being fit, eating well, and so on. I was thinking recently about the moments in which I regularly feel best. Click on the number to jump straight down to the question. What’s inside?
