So did far too many FREEPERS!

OTOH, markets are now mainly run with programs, taking the human element completely out of it. Certain "triggers" kick in, which IF the humans were still doing all of the bidding, would NOT occur. The same is also true for upswings.

Wall Street and Big Government are playing a deadly game. This is all about making money and the next level in attack against the President. The institutions are mentally sick.

New Corona is a Black Swan event in that we are beginning to realize how stupidly dependent we are on our bitter enemy, China. We need to bring drug manufacturing back to this hemisphere. How about setting plants up in Mexico and the other Central and South American countries. It would be like USMCA 2.0. We have millions of smart, educated illegals here who could go back home and make a decent living.

The U.S. response has been exceptionally good. There have only been 16 cases thus far, none deadly.

Stupid.

What the actual number is we don't know because we haven't been testing people.

If Joel really thinks this is a reason not to worry he's an idiot.

I don't think he's an idiot so I can only conclude he's trying to blow smoke up your ass.

China was in a tough corner. They couldn’t stop the Hong Kong protests, even by withdrawing the extradition law. They couldn’t go Tienanmen square again. In 1989 they could flip the finger to the world. Today, they would pay a heavy price.
The protests even were showing potential to hop on over into other Chinese cities.

A flu breaks out, they go full retard and authoritarian.
The protests are dead and gone. The rest of China is distracted and on lockdown.

Side benefit, the people who think in terms of 50 years shut the factories for a few months. Dow tanks and the only possible anti-Trump weapon does it’s damage.

This Y2k virus is a farce. All hype.

One day people will reflect on the COVID-19 panic and how political correctness and the intential obfuscation of facts in the self censored media and public pronouncements of “experts” contributed to the fear. The fact is that in the epicenter of Wusan there were many Caucasians and Africans living and working. They did not become ill or die at the same rate as native Chinese. This has not been reported. The region in Italy where the outbreak occurred is heavily populated with Chinese immigrants and guest workers. The race of those afflicted and who died is never reported. Iran has a large Asian component to its population. The Silk Road transversed it with numerous Chinese living and staying in Iran.as well as the Mongols once conquering Iran. Its modern population has a big Asian genetic component. From Dec15 through Jan 23 thousands of people travelled from Wusan and entered multiple points in the United States. Hence the virus is already here. Yet there have been no China or Korea style outbreaks here.

It is obvious that thus far this particular pathogen seems to infect and causes serious illness much more often in Asiatics than Caucasians and Africans. Yet this does not fit the globalist political narrative. No reporter or politician is willing to note this fact lest they be labeled racist. Sadly even scientists don’t state facts or politically incorrect observations.

Ironically seems to me Breitbart is always putting forth hyperbolic articles...Not inaccurate, but they are not known for spreading calm...

Why did it kill significantly more people than SARs, in about a quarter the time.

Where do these people get their information?

"Wall Street sure panicked."

Because Wall Street isn't drinking the koolaid that Pollak is guzzling.

They are already seeing a dramatic falloff in Chinese production because plants over there are unable to function.

And contra the happy talk served up by Pollak, Covid-19 can indeed destroy your organs, your lungs primarily but not limited to them.

Here’s what coronavirus does to the body

Wall Street never needs much before it quivers and shakes. Anything that would affect their investments can create what we’re seeing now.....it’s a slippery beast!

I think it’s amusing that the author thinks he has any influence on the subject at all.

This is like earthquakes in California. Yes, u take seriously a quake that is not the “big one”. Not to freak out about, but to learn from and prepare for the “big one”. This Coronavirus does not seem to be Ebola level, but it is a valuable practice run for the big one.
