I'm an Art major and I attend San Fransico State University and I thought I would share with you market makers how much the virus hype is effecting my area.

As of today UC Berkeley, UC Santa Clara, SFSU, SJSU, Stanford, and several high schools in my area have shut down face to face classes. This will greatly affect my weaving and figure drawing, classes as I won't be able to use the looms at school or draw nude models there.

How do you trade this? What tickers would you use to make a buck off this? 

I'll tell you what I'm buying. I've been loading up on INO, LH, APT, VIR, TVIX, UVXY, TLT, SPY 2022 out of the money Calls. 

I have a feeling there will be a lot more opportunity here. 

After seeing the double-digit run-ups in the Chinese online education stocks I wonder if the same will happen here? I'm not sure the best online education plays?

I believe this will have a negative effect on BTC due to the fact of fewer tech companies working on innovations. 

Although, if this virus continues into next year as the U.S. pentagon was claiming it could last week. Then you could see a complete migration to digital assets. Due to the fact that all the currency would need to be burned to prevent the spread of germs.

Please share in the comments if you have any good Covid-19 plays. 

Here is the official release statement I was emailed from my school a few minutes ago. 

Dear campus community,

The University has been closely monitoring local circumstances surrounding COVID-19. In addition to the increasing number of confirmed cases in San Francisco, we have also seen a growing number of educational institutions move to remote instruction. In the interest of safeguarding the health of our students, faculty and staff, San Francisco State University is taking similar steps to further limit the potential for COVID-19 to spread within our community.

The following are effective Tuesday, March 10, through Sunday, March 15: 

• All face-to-face courses are suspended. Courses currently offered online will continue as usual. 

• University faculty and staff will use these days to prepare for the transition to remote instruction and services and to ensure business continuity.  

• Faculty and staff are expected to be on campus during this preparatory week. Facilities and services remain open and all non-instructional operations will continue as usual. 

The following are effective Monday, March 16, through Sunday, April 5: 

• All instruction will be conducted remotely. 

• The campus is not closing. Some buildings will remain open. Expect reduced operations during this period as some staff will work remotely as determined by operational need and their supervisor and Human Resources. Details will be forthcoming. 

The University will reevaluate remote instruction and services in the context of local public health recommendations and local circumstances on a weekly basis. An announcement will be made by March 30 about the following two-week period, April 6 – 19. Weekly updates will be issued for subsequent two-week periods.

During this time of remote instruction and services, all faculty, staff and student employees will continue to be paid.

As a reminder, the previously announced restrictions about events and non-essential meetings remain in place.

As this situation rapidly evolves, so does guidance from health officials. We will continue to keep you informed as more updates become available. Please check our COVID-19 website for the latest information.

For students who would like additional support at this time, contact Counseling & Psychological Services (415-338-2208) to schedule an appointment. Faculty and Staff should contact Life Matters (1-800-367-7474), the University’s employee assistance program for support.

Take good care of yourself and one another.
