I don't think this is going to be limited to Chase for very long.

Seems like banking should be considered an "essential service" that should remain open to serve people during this crisis.
People's money is... kind of important.

When I made a rare (no more than 2-3 times a year) trip to my bank yesterday morning there was a notice on the door saying that starting today they'd be putting in new procedures starting today. Then, later in the day, when I was logged into our organization's different bank there was a huge notice on the top saying that they'd already instituted new procedures.

I'm pretty sure the Texas Bullion Depository will remain open.

Well, they've already closed down a multitude of other businesses "for the public good." What if banks were closed down to prevent bank runs?

That's an example of why diversification is important in more dimensions than "stocks vs. bonds".
Too bad the boglehead philosophy is so over-simplified, at least as most of the boglehead website participants seem to practice it.

I've long advised people to diversify away from "digital risk" by holding a modicum of physical assets for instance. Gold, silver, maybe some cash. Nobody thinks it will happen till it does.

I've often recommended the same thing, but nobody gets it. I like your phrase "digital risk". Very pithy. I will borrow that if you don't mind. I think that might help convey the idea better than my previous long-winded method.

Too late! My bank suspended lobby service! Well... it's safe at least. I'm nowhere close to a rebalance band, years away.
Re: Get your PMs out of Safe Deposit NOW!
My credit unions closed their lobbies a couple days ago so some of my my PM's are inaccessible. Should have cleaned out the safe deposit boxes last week.
