Coronavirus: New Data Introduces (Some) Hope
Peak Prosperity Youtube Video ^ | 9 Mar 2020 | Chris of Peak Prosperity

What should I do to protect myself from the coronavirus? How long will the threat last? Will it go away when summer gets here? Will we eventually developed 'herd immunity' and, if so, when will it start to kick in?

These are just some of the many questions viewers and readers like you are asking us, and Chris does his best to address these as best he can in today's video.

And while the virus continues its global exponential spread, we are starting to see some positive news begin to trickle in.

For example, it's looking like the majority of folks who get the virus will not be contagious for as long as previously feared.

And, it looks like good ol' hand soap is surprisingly effective at inactivating covid-19. So wash your hands -- a lot!!

While the data continues to show the vast bulk of coronavirus infections lie ahead of us, there is much each of us can do to avoid becoming a victim ourselves, and to help slow the outbreak's rate of spread.

I think we all should mock it and call it the Cornyvirus

That way all the chicken little stock shorters on here can get even more mad at us.

Would you like $4,584.26 using today’s exchange rate... for two weeks of your time.

Easy peasy money.

All you have to do is let researchers inject you with the virus.

Are you going to do it? Easy money. Probably Free Room and board. Might have to pay your own airfare.

Funny thing...look at the logarithmic chart on John’s Hopkins dashboard for the virus. Hasn’t been exponential in weeks.

Don’t forget the martial law in mainland China where people are locked into their buildings. The Chinese government reported that martial law has reduced the spread of the virus (in China except for Wuhan).

The way the media reports deaths from Coronavirus to me is like saying 100 people died in Honda car accidents today, but not saying how many people died in all automobile accidents for the day.

Raw data for the graphic:

Feb 21 Italy has 20 confirmed cases:

https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/blob/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_daily_reports/02-21-2020.csv

Today Italy has 7375 confirmed cases and is under a national quarantine order:

https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/blob/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_daily_reports/03-08-2020.csv

Sounds kind of exponential to me.

John Hopkins is reporting test results, not infections.

I stand corrected...because ...well you know..I didnt read the story

It is a milder version of the coronavirus...but my point is the same

https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2020/03/coronavirus-volunteers-to-be-infected-in-race-to-find-vaccine.htm

The 24 volunteers will be infected with two common strains of coronavirus, 0C43 and 229E, which are similar to COVID-19. However, these two strains only cause a mild respiratory illness.

The infected patients will then be used to test antiviral medications as well as help develop a vaccine for COVID-19.

Medical staff will collect nasal samples, blood and dirty tissues and measure them for the ‘viral load’.

They won’t be allowed to exercise or have physical contact with other people, and their diet will be controlled.

However they will be allowed to spend their time watching TV and playing video games.

Maybe a Honda car is a bad analogy. Think of the Corona virus as a bio-weapon, produced by God knows who, for what purpose we're not sure of. And one that we don't know the long-term affects of, nor the final damage it will do. Then make your preparations accordingly.

Keep in mind it could trigger an already shaky economy into collapse and the world into civil and world war.

If you've prepared, as best you can, you might be one of the lucky few who survive and go on to rebuild the world anew.

If it proves to be "just the flu", you'll have enough food, supplies, and medicines to last for several months without having to go to store quite as often.

What you, or I, do, say, or think, will not alter the outcome of this one iota. We can only effect our well being and the well being of our immediate families by the choices we make.

I'm not trying to fear monger, it's just how I see it based on a novel virus spreading exponentially, a stock-market declining at a record rate, a shaky upcoming election that neither side will likely abide by, and with wars and rumors of wars on the horizon.
