> WHO calls on all nations to ‘pull out all the stops’ to fight coronavirus: “This is not a drill.”

They want to tank the markets again tomorrow.

Dr. Siegel on Tucker:

2 strains of the virus - it’s changing all the time..

“L strain” seems to be the more severe - China -

which one is emerging in USA?

do we have surge capacity? can we handle this?

offices closing, not sure where it is coming from..

100,00 ICU beds across the country - will that be enough?

Our hospitals are gearing up..

Makes sense to me, until that came out futures were up big again and now they are only up slightly. We’ll see how they go through the night.

Speaking of Coronavirus, I spoke with my manager at the pool hall this evening. The plan in place calls for, potentially, sequestering all of the power system operations personnel in 2 week intervals (that’s my gig in life). They’re serious, and will be providing washer/dryer equipment, freezers, portable showers, sleeping quarters, etc.

I’ve never been sequestered before, so this would be a first. I volunteered for the first 2 week turn. Get it over with is my thought.

It’s all kind of a “wait and see” kind of thing so far, but it could happen. I suspect that the entire power industry is looking at similar reaction, because the show must go on as they say.

Personally, I think that it will settle down long before that happens, but as we say in the gun world, better to have a plan and not need it, then to need it and not have a plan.
