I think diet is a bigger factor than they are letting on.
Nobody wants to acknowledge the elephant in the room, that race is a factor in who gets the symptoms of this and those who don’t.
I figured India would have been in big trouble by now. Hasn’t happened.
So many of these conversations sound like Sat, Dec 6, 1941. Before that fateful Sunday morning, informed, knowledgeable people were engaged in reasoned, measured debate. Then, Pearl happened and it all became entirely moot.
Same too your comment; Trump's address last night was tantamount to Pearl or 9/11. That's a pretty bold claim, so why is it so? Because, Trump gave the green light to a global economic/social shut down order. Today, managers don't have to debate whether to implement work-from-home policies; school districts don't have to make decisions regarding closures; public events don't have to decide whether to continue/suspend.
You see, Trump was the first wildebeest to make that plunge into the crocodile infested river to cross it on the yearly migration. Afterward, everyone goes. Trump's address took all decision making responsibility out of the hands of managers, and gave them cover for any economic/social hits that are going to subsequently occur.
So, I would suggest we move these types of conversations on how it all goes down, not whether it should. Because it already happened.
This was all triggered by WHO declaring it a ‘pandemic’.
I’ve been to India a few times. It’s a pretty disorganized third-world place, running in controlled chaos.
I have no idea what’s going on there, but either the warm weather is inhibiting the infection and/or the infection is undercover and spreading, with little or no testing (I’m guessing).
But I can't find if they are still closed or what. But India I see has made a new announcement (See 3rd link).
It’s still late summer/fall in Australia, and still hot. That WuFlu should not be that bad a problem there, yet, maybe never. Except for the open border policy that these one world order worship.
First up (really no different than the cessation of domestic auto/consumer goods production right after Pearl), are supply chain orders pertaining to critical national/medical security logistics.
Next, look to Italy for guidance. We're somewhere between them and Korea. We're behind the curve, but with drastic measures (green lit last night), we can aim for Korea. So, what happens next? Well, we already have a roadmap, so people shouldn't be surprised by the journey.
And there were plenty of Chinese in Australia who travelled to China and back during the recent Chinese New Year, so you would think that Australia would have been extremely hard hit, like Italy, hasn’t happened.
Do they know the incubation period for the virus?
Markets hate uncertainty.
Even if things are bad, if at least there is some predictability to it, then markets start to recover, once the light at the end of the tunnel becomes visible. (Provided that light isn’t an oncoming car)

I wouldn’t count on weather being a savior, the virus hasn’t been around long enough to see if that assumption will bear out. You already have cases in Australia and Africa.

Anything that can fan out as quickly as increasing lines of falling dominoes, can cause lung damage and once treated can be reacquired, deserves attention and prudent behavior at the individual level.
Having said that, it is obvious Covid19 has and will pose a damaging financial burden on many and presents what could be a sizeable impact to the global economy.
“can cause lung damage and once treated can be reacquired”

Yeah, that’s a whole nother thing. The number-news is pretty much about people who got it, who survived it and who died. Those who come through it with some permanent damage (e.g. lungs, heart) aren’t in those figures. Reading how some actually get it again after being cured, is obviously bad news also.
Vitamin D3, at least 5,000 units a day.
Trump is/was on the right side of history. Controlling borders, bringing production back and focusing on domestic employment are the recipe for explosive economic growth.
In the big scheme of things, who cares if everyone goes on vacation for the next two months? How does that in any way effect the fundamental elements of the US economy? If anything, it will simply result in massive production expansion to re-fill supply lines.
That's why the market can't figure out whether to get out now, wait for a low (taking a risk on timing it perectly), or just stick to it, knowing what's going to happen by June/July.
LOL, they’ll be complaining again about Over Tourism in Venice soon enough.

I take a multivitamin & minerals tab and call it day. I mean, a decent one, not like One-a-day.
