With the mass paranoia and hysteria, who here is looking at taking a hit financially? It seems every hour something else is shutting down. I figure people in sales are in serious trouble.

I figure people who depend on other people to make sales are in bigger trouble.

I work in advertising and I'm a little worried about it. March Madness is a big time for us but now with the tournament getting cancelled we're gonna lose all that revenue for the next month.

I think I am good short term. Long term not sure how the oil industry will be with price of oil so low. My 401K has been hammered.

not too worried yet,


My company sells a wildly popular product that people buy even in deep recessions.

Bought one of those fleshlights. It's pretty legit.

Realistically should only be 2 weeks or so of shutdown. I’d really hope that everything would bounce back pretty damn quick if the underlying financials are healthy.

I sell farmers seed, fertilizer, and chemical; between floods and low commodity prices my job has been shite for the past two years. The Ag sector can’t be abandoned completely and my choice of liquor is cheap, so let come what may.

I custom hand paint truck nuts for a living.


I’m a little concerned, but grown accustomed to the boom/bust cycle of the oil industry.

If things get too tight, I can always go renew my liquor license.

Two absolutely recession-proof fields: medical and bartending. People are always gonna get sick and people are always gonna drink.

a division of the company I work for sells fuel to farmers. Diesel is really cheap right now so maybe they can afford to buy more seed and chemical from you

Im a GC, in the short term, no worries but just concerned how long this will last. If it goes on for months I guess everyone will be hurting and I will just have to figure out what to do about it then. Honestly, I'm less worried about my finances and more worried about my family's safety personally.
