If the panic continues there's no telling what might happen economically. I get that this is a new unknown virus, but the global panic is ridiculous. This is not an end of the world, killing everybody it touches, "I Am Legend" type of virus. If people would use common sense, wash hands, stop going places if sick, leave their stocks alone, live life, etc, we will get through this like we do the flu every year. I'm not being insensitive here, I really do feel for the people who are dying and losing loved ones and it is truly tragic for them. But the whole world panicking and forcing global economic collapses, etc will accomplish nothing. The flu averages a half million deaths worldwide every year, where is the global panic for that?
The bubble had to pop someday and the coronavirus is the needle. We had a trillion dollar deficit last year with a booming economy, this year could dwarf that.
If I post about the coronavirus effect on the economy in the stock market thread I would probably be told to keep it here. They are connectedA reminder - we have a new stock market thread now:
Stock Market
Since the Coronavirus thread has a lot of stock market discussion, here's a thread dedicated to discussing it!southernwx.com
See the problem here is you're taking a deep breath, slowing your decision process, and using common sense to come up with that. We know the world lost its common sense years ago.
But on a serious note, I do agree. People are reacting emotionally. Panic Selling on the stocks, Panic buying of supplies, and spitting out doomsday prophecies about global economic collapses. China is getting back to work. They are recovering and moving on, and we will too...
There hasn't been much focus on South America, but that continent could become a hotbed of infection - limited healthcare facilities & personnel combined with terrible living conditions for millions of poverty stricken people (on a trip to Recife, Brazil I saw a favela where people were living directly adjacent to raw sewage runoff) could mean that there are many, many cases going undiagnosed.

Actually the only one of those three are semi true at this point is death rate being higher than the flu. The reason it’s semi true is because it is definitely more dangerous for older people than the flu. For healthy people under 50 I’m not sure it is as deadly as the flu or at least provable at this point.
The ember spat out of your fireplace burning underneath the gasoline-soaked dried out Christmas tree in your living room is infinitesimal compared to the fire that destroyed your neighbor's house last year. Think about that!POTUS must be reading SouthernWX ☠

So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!
This has been making the rounds on the internet and I doubt Wilkes County is where this originated from. Clearly this isn't some election year hype. Really wish people would stop spreading things like this.Wilkes County health department showed me this. View attachment 36964
We have a vaccine for the flu. There isn't one for this yet. People have been getting incredibly sick with this virus over a very small amount of time. That's the big difference. A lot of those deaths for the flu would be preventable if people would get the shot.If the panic continues there's no telling what might happen economically.

Mike Adam's seen this coming fyi yes natural news sometimes is far out field just like infowars but they get things right a lot of times. My advice go back and see who rang the bell in January and February and listen take with a grain of salt and use common sense

Did you not read it?
The measure scientists use to determine how easily a virus spreads is known as the "basic reproduction number," or R0 (pronounced R-nought). This is an estimate of the average number of people who catch the virus from a single infected person, Live science previously reported. The flu has an R0 value of about 1.3, according to The New York Times.
Researchers are still working to determine the R0 for COVID-19. Preliminary studies have estimated an R0 value for the new coronavirus to be between 2 and 3, according to the JAMA review study published Feb. 28. This means each infected person has spread the virus to an average of 2 to 3 people.

Yep and many in the US still don’t think it’s a big deal and is just like the flu... UghThey are, allegedly. They have also taken extreme measures to lock down and quarantine vast areas.
