How about 2 young chinese doctors?

The coronavirus just killed a 29-year-old doctor who postponed his wedding to fight the disease

A Chinese news agency said Peng Yinhua, a doctor who delayed his wedding to fight the coronavirus, never even sent out his wedding invitations.

It it doesn’t say if they had any underlining heath issues. That the point I was trying to make. He was also exposed to this virus more then the average person. Longer exposure weakens the immune system. Maybe I missed it ready the article fast. Again I’m not poop pooping this as a non event. I’m just making observations.

And the DOW needed a market correction. We are over due so I wouldn’t worry to much about that unless you are planning on retiring soon. The market freaks out over the smallest worry and then rebounds even higher soon after. It’s a good strategy the suites do to make more money long term. Mine took a big hit the past few days but it’s normal and it calculated in my portfolio. I had a stress test a few weeks ago.

Kind of my point earlier, the spread of information is far more detrimental then the spread of most viruses.
 
I'm stocked up with 2+ weeks of freeze dried food so even if there is a run on grocery stores and they can't restock for a few days or something else unexpected comes up I will be prepared and adding more to my inventory just in case.
 
Has there been any mention of how this affects children? I've seen mostly articles dealing with people who are 20+ but not much regarding children.
 
coronavirus itself is not to bad, it’s the pneumonia that’s bad and really increases the mortality rate, but Pnuemonia is quite unlikely unless you don’t get treatment and your older/have a compromised immune system or you just get unlucky with a immune response that’s to crazy (cytokine storm)
Anyways I wanna bet that the mortality rate will drop, but like I said this virus can spread really quick

It’s all due to exposer, kids always touch and put stuff in there mouth. Same thing as the stomach bug or flu. Wash your hands before eating and stay away from sick people. Don’t drink heavy and don’t smoke PERIOD. This is why I don’t shake hands but pound fist. I’m OCD about germs.

If you believe the Chinese numbers the mortality rate for under 9 is zero, yes zero. But I haven’t heard of one case outside China yet.

There's no doubt seeing these reports coming out of Italy is reason for concern.

I wouldn’t read too much into Italy just yet and this is why. Goes back to the case that this could be everywhere.

“The peak in Italy is partly due to all the tests being done,” said Roberta Siliquini, a former president of Italy’s higher health council. “We have found positive cases in people who probably had few or no symptoms and who may have overcome the virus without even knowing it.”

Yeah I've never smoked or taken a bit of alcohol in my life and don't plan to. It's just surprising to me that if the numbers are to be believed, not a single child under 10 has gotten it so far. With the way children are you'd think they would have a high number of cases.

Well have they not gotten it or are there just no fatalities?

I wouldn't read too much in my comment lol... basically seeing other countries start to show cases is concerning and not so much from "it's spreading and we're in trouble" perspective either but more from an economic strain perspective. It's the spread of fear from instant information that drives the economy and is the most concerning to me. From a health or concern standpoint I fear drunk driver's on the road and my 2 college kids out later than they should be, far more than any flu, virus, corona or otherwise potential pandemic

Well I'm not sure how they got their numbers. I mean i.doubt China has been truthful so how worldometer knows.underlying conditions of deaths not reported correctly is a head scratcher.

. You can’t trust the numbers at all. You also cant trust the heath charts. I am interested on seeing the numbers from Europe where they track patients charts.

Well kids in China are too busy making Nike Shoes and are treated like tools. One breaks you replace it.

I’m in a 100% agreement with you there. As I said before what bothers me is the panic. The Swine flu only had a week or two to fester before it was here so the media didn’t get the chance to create complete panic before it was realized it wasn’t causing the 20% death rate they were saying in Mexico. After it hit, it disappeared from the big news media in a hurry. This on the other hand has had months to fester.

I will probably buy extra myself just to make it less annoying for me should everyone panic.

Market is -2.8%ish for the day after -4% yesterday, lost all my gains for the year, everything is fine! *sweats*

Needless to say I don't want to look at my actual account until it rebounds...it has to soon doesn't it.

Those stocks that are on sale...some of us already have money in them and we can't really do a thing other then watch and hope. At least with one case I did get in at a great price, which happens to be google, and that is definitely still in the green on gains for me, but even that one is plummeting.
