A forever thread is getting long. Perhaps a weekly thread?

This Chicken Little talk can be bad for the market. Knock it off!

So, let's see:

We have a contagion with an indeterminable incubation period, that can spread and/or linger in aerosol form and in sewer systems through urine and feces, that infects others from carriers that aren't showing symptoms, and re-infects those that have already been infected and recovered.

We don't know the kill rate and we don't know the long term damage if recovered?

This is looking grim.

I’ll freak out when the corona dramabug reaches 5 Million Cases Worldwide and 650,000 Deaths Annually that the flu bug causes.

I hate to be pessimistic and I was, initially, optimistic, this could be contained. I don't see this being controlled at this point.

Just a quick glance, there are 4 flights daily from Incheon Airport, South Korea to LAX.


I said yesterday we need to stop flights out of South Korea..but it was a Friday and not much usually happens over the weekend

The china stuff blew up on a Friday and that Sunday night the Pilot Union finally had to take its own action...but it wasn’t until early the next week the flight finally stopped


All government bodies so far get an F in this outbreak..

they are days behind “real time”

maybe they should start following these threads

I hear you. I was optimistic that this would be a no big deal. After seeing what is going on in South Korea I am not to sure.

Some companies profits were hurt last year by the trade war. I wonder how they will do this year.

So, the COLA could go up, & it could go down. SS may give us an increase or it may not.
Guess we’ll have to wait & see

Good point. The last pandemic was 100 years ago.the Spanish Flu . It is unknown how many died bot it was size able. The average flu is deadly to people but it has been so common we pay little attention.

As I understand it, China is ordering its factory workers in Hubei back to work, while not allowing them to leave the province.

Sounds like they’re getting sealed into a work gulag they won’t come out of alive.

On some level it doesn’t seem moral for us to keep taking their products—if it ever was.

As Steve Bannon puts it, one-tenth of humanity is now in some sort of quarantine/lockdown situation.

For those who want additional info updated constantly, I highly suggest going to Reddit. The Coronavirus community is over 90,000 members now worldwide.

r/Coronavirus

The blog that I follow daily is TheFurai.com, his site is dedicated to the virus, he’s a FReeper, and he reads this thread. He allows comments on his site, and its growing.

I cannot reccomend this gent enough- Dr. John Campbell is a teacher in UK and I listen to him every day. He’s been doing corona for weeks.

His one from this morning is must listening- his contacts in Iran are telling him it’s MUCH worse there. Dreadful.

Please take time to listen.

Iran took WHOs advice and didn’t ban air travel from China
