The market is responding to the supply chain disruption.
Most everything you buy or consume has china made parts somewhere. Even if it’s just the packaging equipment that boxes up your cheez-its.
The market has finally noticed that China is basically a single point of failure for the modern economy of pretty much every developed nation.
Homophones are of the devil. But you knew what I was saying.
And Puts are a type of option. It’s a financial security. I’m not going to explain them to you. Just understand I bet the market would fall and made money.
And I grew up in the State of Louisiana, home of America’s illiterate in two languages. I claim a lifetime handicap in all matters of spelling, pronunciation and grammar. It’s not that Louisiana is wrong, the rest of the nation is spelling imagination impaired.
Geaux Tigers!!!
617,000 died from the Spanish flu here.
50,000 have already died in China if you believe the insider reports.
So I’ll take the bet that more people will die from this than the Spanish flu.
Once it hits India and Africa, it’ll kill millions.
Looks like training exercise on China. For the flu?
Ir read somewhere that the rate of new cases in China is subsiding and the recovery rate is growing. Good news. No reason to expect different worldwide.
Either community spread or on a box from China.
Take your d3 peeps. You’re all probably low anyways, it’s February. Levels are the lowest in February anyways.
(and ask your doc if you can take vitamin K2 as well...it might interfere with blood thinners and other stuff so ASK if you can take it)
Yup. Derp on a global scale. Let this be a painful lesson.
It’s not “fake”, but it’s clearly a training exercise.
I’m all in favor of show trials for free traitors.
Just wait...I have clients coming home from Vietnam...via Zurich, Germany ....no reason to be concerned.
Thanks :-)
Don’t believe anything out of China. They’re fighting for this not to collapse their economy and power structure.
Looks cumbersome.
And heavy.
And not fashionable at all.
Does the kevlar go under the suit or over?
So many questions.
China’s numbers are no good.
But there is something good going on there!
If they don’t get a bunch of spread from opening their factories, we’ll have a much better outlook for this thing.
I bet that limits the CCW options a bit.
No true.
I have some whisky in the freezer that will be giving me a shot soon.
As for COVID. Yeah..
I am getting ready for Lent. Looks like we all will be going through a Great Lent.
“Today’s current cases”
...after only 426 people nation wide were actually tested.
Will you sweat not to wear a mask until at least Election Day?
Tell us all what the outcome is please
As CDC warns of US COVID-19 spread, labs frustrated over lack of tests
Filed Under:
COVID-19

Currently, only 12 labs outside of the CDC—located in California, Illinois, Nebraska, Nevada, and Tennessee—have the capability to test for the virus. Peter Kyriacopoulos, the chief policy officer for APHL, told CIDRAP News the testing process could be dramatically shortened and expanded if 100 APHL-member labs receive authorization to do their own tests.
He said yesterday that the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) addressed a letter to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) asking for permission for member laboratories to use lab-developed tests between now and when the improved CDC kit is re-sent. Permission has to be granted because the FDA already issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) authority for the CDC’s test.
“We know because of the prevalence of this issue in the media, many of our labs may be called to do testing, and they will want to be responsive,” said Kyriacopoulos. He explained that the labs could do manual extraction of the virus RNA, but testing would be more streamlined if they were allowed to use automated RNA extraction platforms. He said the automatic extraction devices would cost each lab about $200,000.
Joanne Barkus, PhD, the director of the Public Health Laboratory at the Minnesota Department of Health, said she is frustrated by the delay.

White House requests emergency funds
Michael T. Osterholm, MPH, PhD, director of the University of Minnesota’s Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy, which published CIDRAP News, said he has received several calls from the media questioning if the delay in test kits is actually a plot devised by President Donald Trump to hide US case numbers.
“I do not believe that,” Osterholm said. “It’s an unfortunate situation and is something the CDC has stumbled on.”
Yesterday Trump asked Congress for $1.25 billion in new emergency funds for the COVID-19 response, the Washington Post reported. The White House also asked Congress to access to $535 million that had been set aside to fight Ebola.
