Coronavirus (Stay on Topic)

I am in no way panicked. Just prepared. Also a 27 yo was one death not reported in China.
This is a number that seems more like the response from China. 100,000 dead will definitely make a government panic

I don't mean to come off as a smart ass and I value the discussion here about this. It's hard to wrap your head around the actions of a number of nations in comparison to what's being done and said in this country. I feel like there are a good number of smart people on this board and it's nice to know what they are thinking.

The best we can do to get a fair short term gauge is watch SK and Italy. Honestly China and Iran are impossible to beleive no matter what we hear from them. Ive been on the fence since Jan monitoring this thing. Am I concerned this is the virus X thats been talked about for years? No Im not. I dont like some early data, that will need re- annalyzing such as how long this can hide out so to speak before symptoms. Also its safe to say this is easier or as easy to spread than the seasonal flu.
On the flip side watching SK,Italy it appears as of today this has a sub 2.0 mortality rate. Now if you use China reprted numbers,its higher than that. Also its a red flag China completely shutting down major cities for a month. Is it for other reasons and coronovirus was being used as a cover? Who knows, highly unlikely you would think,but again its China we are talking about.
No doubt we will pull through this. We really need to dial in our supply Chain managment as a country. Everyone is in China. Need more diversity, better yet independence for a whole host of reasons. We need to promote and discourage importing so many meds (100% penecillin), Steel from other countries. Not wise from a national security standpoint. Heck 95% of ibuprofin in USA comes out of China. The ole line when Nafta and all these global trade deals where being touted and promoted from elected officials the past several decades has turned out to be a false bill of goods. They downplayed these certain scenerios I just mentioned. We've built up a communist country into a superpower, and forefeited our independence of being able to supply our own basic needs like we use to.
We will get a vaccine for this thing. My hunch is it will fade away as we head toward April / May. This wiil buy us a few months. Then come back strong this Fall. I read about the spanish flu and it was season two that really laid the hammer down. Different times.
 

We shall see.
 
Is the medical field treating this the same way they do the flu? I know there is no vaccine yet. Just curious how the survivors have been treated and what increased the death rate.
We just have to be smart as a nation that hasn’t been effected as much as them... a cure or vaccine is coming but to get through tests and ethical obstacles it’s going to take about a year for it to be distributed .. at the earliest with no work arounds .. we just have to be safe vigilant and prepared for that year to keep things under control ... I also don’t know how everyone has been reacting to the US response but I think we are working a lot behind the scenes to stop this and to keep us safe but I can see where people can think were downplaying this but I think for our government it is smart to stay super prepared (which is what we’ve been advocating for for about a month now) and also not create a panic you don’t want the president of a nation going out saying this is extremely dangerous and could spread rapidly within days and 40-70 percent of u could be infected ... like that just causes and will cause too much panic for a nation this big .. there’s no need for that when we’re being protected by quarantined travel and two large oceans protecting us ... it’s much easier for us to control something like this in the homestead that it is over there ...
 
Sitting here at a cafe in Paris (unfortunately missing out on snow just about 20ish miles to the north yesterday) and it's top trending in the news here as well. Some ideas over the discussion of summertime in the northern hemisphere potentially inhibiting the spread of the virus: I'm not sure it'll just go away over June and July. I have a suspicion by winter 2020-2021 it'll come back and hit HARD. And as for the markets... just wow. Can somebody say panic selling????
 
When the engine stops the car will roll to a stop.. Say what you want but watch for the latest news to come from unlikely sources.they have been on top of this better than any news site or government statements. If fake this is the biggest hoax we have ever seen with the whole world in on it
 
You kinda have to wonder have seen the peer studies but this has hit China and Iran hard, all these ppl have more ace2. Not sure about Italians I will dig around this afternoon. I stopped looking into this thought it was disproven. But trends show it spreading worse in certain countries time will tell I suppose. I'm sure Iran's healthcare is terrible
 
Dow Jones futures have been sliding all night currently around -575....will be interesting to see if today there is a rally to try and end the week on a positive....looks like Friday will be off to a rough start though.

Just hit the highest of the AM at -94 now around -169. As the US wakes up let’s see how low of an open we have. I’m hoping it’s flat and we see some drop but some buying later to end the week. Can’t afford a repeat of yesterday.

Not sure where you're getting your figures from but it still looks like we're sitting at -350, in hindsight it must have seriously taken a dip just recently. I noticed CNN's numbers are erroneous...

Big yikes. Been checking it all morning, pretty nuts to see a drop like that in just a few mins
 
I’m watching CNBC so in real time the implied open is as of this moment -384.
