The deadly new coronavirus continued to spread apace on Tuesday, with more than 20,500 cases confirmed worldwide and at least 427 deaths. The vast majority of the infections, and all but two of the deaths, were in mainland China.
Chinese officials have agreed to let American experts into the country as part of a World Health Organization team in the coming days, and senior members of the Communist Party have admitted "shortcomings and deficiencies" in the country's response. President Xi Jinping declared "a people's war of prevention" against the epidemic Tuesday, threatening punishment for anyone deemed to be neglecting their duties as control efforts ramped up.

Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.
The lever in Trump’s leverage just got longer....and the Market is rebounding nicely - probably folks reallocating much of what they took out into areas likely to profit from the virus...
I’m sure we’ve got info on exactly where this virus came from.
And it wasn’t that meat market.
I won’t speak to that but odds are we have way more info than the Chinese wanted and there are “irregularities” that will continue to bite them on their nether-parts...great news our Market is rebounding between yesterday and today as a lead-in to the SOTU tonight.
Bkmk
Something very very weird is going on with TSLA.
I jumped on it a few days ago even though it made no sense...this cant just be a short squeeze.
A wall street guy is theorizing today that Musk is in bed with China and they are putting emergency funds into TSLA.
Whatever is happening...I will take the money..but it is a game of musical chairs because the rug will get pulled.
To show how wild TSLA is..an option that expires on Friday..that is 300 points out of the money..is priced over $9.00
It’s insane. And its traded over 2000 contracts today. Low 1.30. High 19.50
Somebody is making a fortune on TSLA..and CHINA is probably involved
“shortcomings” = failures
Never be caught with your pants down when the government needs to assign blame and find a scapegoat.
