With coronavirus death toll in the U.S. rising to 19, people are becoming increasing afraid of contracting the disease. To date, there are 3,803 reported deaths with 109,835 confirmed cases worldwide. Also a total of 60,694 people have recovered from the virus. As the fear of coronavirus continues to spread, there are a growing number of reports of empty shop shelves as people rush to stock up on basic products such as hand soap, sanitizers, tissue papers, and many more. It got so bad that some stores are now limiting purchases of these products, more due to coronavirus fears.
The fears stem from the misleading information coming from mainstream media about the trend of the virus. The media shows the number of fatalities continuously increasing, on a time-based graph. The problem with this is that, the media only uses a cumulative graph to illustrate coronavirus deaths. However, if you look deeper at the raw data provided by John Hopkins on GITHUB, the number of global deaths per day are decreasing worldwide.
Hats off to Evan at TradeGuru, who first noticed the discrepancy in media’s cumulative statistics and created a more accurate chart. According to Evan’s analysis using the raw data provided by John Hopkins University, “the virus is decreasing in hotspots such as South Korea, China and Hong Kong (the first to deal with the novel virus). The press tells us it’s an outbreak, or a pandemic on the precipice. Both situations would suggest exponential growth. The actual data doesn’t suggest exponential growth of fatalities at all. The data suggests decline. In fact, the crude death rate is statistically 0.”
Also, it’s now being estimated that 80% of individuals that contract the coronavirus are asymptomatic or midly-symptomatic. And in this viral video, Rebecca Fraiser says she “never really felt unwell” after contracting the virus, and it “sounds like it is the case for the majority of people.”
ES is the e-mini S&P500 futures contract
Facts matter, indeed!
BINGO!
Math is hard for some. LOL.
I believe they are locked limit down ... no way to tell where they’re really at ...
Italy Lombardy region is on the brink. Retired doctors summoned, nursing students field promoted to graduation. Just under 10% of Lombardy’s #COVID19 cases need ICU. 10% of doctors/nurses have already caught #coronavirus and in quarantine. Jesus.
***************************************************
Well, when these doctors/nurses come out of quarantine WITH THEIR NEWFOUND IMMUNITY TO NOVEL CORONAVIRUS, they’ll be well positioned to take care of Coronavirus patients. THESE HEALTH CARE WORKERS ARE NOT DEAD, folks.
I didn't have any trouble with the site I linked to the map...no registration or pay-wall.
However, if this virus is tougher than the others, it will be Major League SHTF. Only time will tell, hopefully the groundhog's early spring prediction will come true.
Expect to hear from cowboyusa...
“...ES is the e-mini S&P500 futures contract...”

Should I be all scared and stuff?
I heard that too.
But I also heard Fauci say today that the virus would only last "minutes" on a non body part surface.
Nobody is freaking out. Every country, every government, every person that knows anything about this virus has said the same thing: 80% of the people who get this virus have mild symptoms. That means 20% do NOT. Multiple sources have said repeatedly that 10% require ICU treatment. Governments...all of them...have come to the same determination and are doing everything in their power to slow down or stop the spread.
What do you know that all of them do not know?
“Multiple sources have said repeatedly that 10% require ICU treatment.”
Please post that from the CDC or NIH. Please.
It’s so funny to hear all of you fearful panic pushers calling those who see the reality of this, “Snowflakes”. It is to laugh.
Depends on if you are about to have your account blown up with a margin call.
Because it will happen to some tomorrow.
If you think you are immune....Funds could get blown up tomorrow as well
I wait 4 days before bring groceries in from the car.
I’m not buying perishables for the time being.
Reported confirmed cases just topped 110,000. *sigh*
Reported confirmed cases in my county doubled over yesterday’s number...
...OK, now there are only 2, but that really is twice yesterday’s!
The current number of cases in the U.S. is 478. A week ago it was 57.
Those numbers are small. You can look at them and maybe convince yourself that there is nothing to worry about.
But the number of cases went up by a factor of about 8. If that growth continues then we will be approaching 4000 a week from today.
Watch the trends. See if the number of new infections are, hopefully, slowing down. If they aren’t then it will be 30,000 or so in 2 weeks from now.
I read articles that are fact based. I never read MSM aka as Demshevik propaganda.
