I hope India and Africa are bypassed.

For their sakes as well as ours. India because they also make some of our meds and Africa because they don’t need it and we don’t need another reservoir of cases to import.

I’m not going to tell you to go get in the sun...but it might be that sun D3 is best of all.

Our ‘good sun rays’ start around noon her in a few weeks. IF we’re not all dead of coronavirus I plan to get some rays then :) (if the sun will ever actually come out from behind the clouds!)

Gonna be hard to blame Trump when the entire world is affected. And we may see nationalization of assets in the worse case scenario. That is when you want to be Trumps pal politically lol.

The WHO will not declare COVID-19 a Pandemic under any circumstances.

It will cost them too much money,

See:


https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-02-25/catastrophe-bonds-signal-coronavirus-nearing-pandemic-status

The World Bank launched a $425 million 2017 catastrophe bond issue supporting its Pandemic Emergency Financing Facility (PEF). There are two tranches of PEF bonds outstanding, expected to mature in July, and this means investors of the bonds will collect massive profits if the bonds aren’t triggered or will lose everything if the Covid-19 outbreak continues to escalate.

and

Class A bonds were issued in the amount of $225 million, with a payout of 6.9% annually. The bonds default if a pandemic is identified, and deaths reach over 2,500 in one particular country with an additional 20 deaths in another, the prospectus states.

Class B bonds were issued in the amount of $95 million, with a payout of 11.5% annually but had a much lower trigger level of deaths, versus Class A, hence the high yield.

Bloomberg spoke with several investors who own the bonds. The unidentified people said the bonds aren’t quoted on public exchanges.

and

The bonds were issued to support the World Bank’s PEF, and would only be triggered if certain criteria of a pandemic were met. If triggered, the bondholders would lose their money, the funds would be transferred to developing countries to fight the virus. To date, the bonds have yet to be triggered, as it’s increasingly becoming obvious that the WHO may stall calling Covid-19 outbreak a “pandemic” until after the bonds mature in July.

Before moving to Idaho in 2000, I had lived in Chula Vista from 1963 to 1983, then Mira Mesa (1983 to 2001). I did some minor gardening, but there definitely is a "growing season". March to late September is optimal. The soil in Mira Mesa was poor and I really didn't have inclination to purchase something better.

Who said don’t prepare?

Careful, when your agenda is to discredit the person rather than the substance of their comments, your own foolishness will be uncovered.

Did not watch it. The US government only causes problems now. See the testing debacle for an example. Trump has his hands tied by a bunch of incompetent traitors. He can do nothing. I am more concerned with how locals and we all respond. It appears that the US government has given up just like the Iranian government. No testing there too.
