Chicken little post of the day award. This excerpt is from an actual news article that is far less alarming, like a flu-season article in the US. The post is from a web-site of a guy hyping his own technology in the viral field. Do you people bother to question these alarmist posts as much as you question the left-wing media?
By the way, if any of you think there will be a mass pandemic killing 30-40% of the world's population, I'll buy your current assets at 50% on the dollar. Surely the global economic crisis resulting from such a pandemic will destroy asset values regardless of class. Anybody want to take me up on that offer. With fewer people housing demand will crash, property values will crash. I'll buy your house today at 50% of appraised value and lease it back at 75% of your current payment. I'll buy your equities and bonds - think of the economic devestation across industries - at 75% of current valuation.
Now I know you'll all have some good excuses why not to take me up on this offer.
I won't sell you my stuff because:
a. I plan on surviving the pandemic(s).
b. If indeed it/they come to pass, your money won't be worth $hit.
I will, however, make sure to check in with you should these diseases spread to the US - to see if you survive with no preparations. That means no anti-virals or other meds for you unless you want the hypocrite of the year award.
You haven't been following this problem closely have you?
