That decline from Oct 2007 until Mar 2009 was about 65% give or take.
The decline from Dec 3, 2018 till now is about 14%. Not nearly as much.

From 2/1/2009 until 3/1/2009 it dropped about 25%.

Don't feel like 3 hours of practice, going to the gym, or cooking for three guests tonight.

Which also means my figures could be way off..
