It’s all interconnected. The panic itself is another form of social media virus.

Possibly. We can call it the “Pearl Clutcher’s Rout”

Sadly, Free Republic is not a “kingmaker” platform.

We have no impact.

I don’t think there’s any question the plunge in the DJIA is due to the virus. Media legitimately deserves some blame for worsening the problem, but even if all they reported was what government was doing, people would still panic.

I’m not even going to say they’re overreacting anymore. Instead, I will try to say that governments are exercising “an abundance of caution.” It might last until there is a viable vaccine that has been approved and is readily available, which won’t be for goodness knows how many months.

The DOW tumble is entirely related to the corona virus. The drop in oil is also entirely related to the corona virus, as the quarantines in China, and now South Korea and Italy crushed oil demand. Oil won't recover until the corona virus dies off.
