Nothing says “you’re coming with us” quite like a dude with a gun, especially when you don’t have one yourself....

Which is more likely: that this is a natural mutation of preexisting coronavirus, or that it is an HIV-laced bio weapon ?

I don’t believe Mother Nature did this all on her own so I’m still leaning towards the CCP had an ‘oops, ah shite’ escape of something that they were in the experimental and/or testing stages with, as they’ve had other documented virus escapes. It could go either way on if that’s future health related like a vaccine or a bio weapon in the making but I doubt we ever find any truth on that from China.

“HIV laced” is a dangerous terminology use as it makes it sound like folks are going to catch HIV from this current bug.

IF and/or when multiple global independent scientific sources start reporting on the presence of the entry and binding aspects of HIV being found spliced in to this virus genome profile I think we’d have to seriously consider a possible bio weapon escape.

Shocking moment Instagram pranksters spark panic by pretending to spill 'coronavirus' on NY subway train

People are so stupid

Ummm, mom’s know Kool-Aid because we clean up those spills all the time.

From the article..

They told Insider the liquid was in fact Kool-Aid, but only one woman knew immediately it was a prank.

Morris said: "The first half, people were kinda scared.

"After we were like 'Yo it's a prank,' people were laughing.

"There was one lady with her kids sitting next to me just laughing the whole time.

"I don't know how she knew it was a joke, but she knew it was a joke the whole time."

Changing a fact to this because of TDS in a virus thread is unreal. I think you're past help.

I think it is highly relevant in the PF to note that Trump is so unsophisticated that he would just repeat what Xi said to him, in an effort to make it seem like the risk is about to end. I have no idea whether warmer weather would inhibit the virus -- it may well do so. But, one, I guran-damn-tee you that when Trump said that he had zero clue, either, and two, he has still not learned that as President he ought to be careful before he just blurts out stuff like that.

In fact, I daresay that the reason you framed it the way you did -- pointing out that Trump was told that by XI -- was because you realized what an idiot Trump was for saying that, when he really has no idea what he is talking about. As usual.

I doubt Trump is reporting what Xi told him. I doubt Xi has been truthful with Trump and that Trump is aware of that. I also think Trump and the CDC are trying to keep everyone from panicking as no one fully understands the virus at this point. If investors get spooked, the economy will get hurt. The way China continues to cancel big events, it’s not going to be that much longer before our economy starts to weaken.

So you think that the DJIA meaningfully reacts to Trump saying no worries, warmer weather will take care of it? Please. These are educated and sophisticated people. They, like the rest of us, rolled their eyes at Trump saying that.

Trump is mouthy. Sometimes he says some dumb things. I think he gives responses just to give them. In this case it’s more of trying to paint a positive picture and to move on to other questions.

Not a political commentary or panic post just a post on what I’m seeing from my POV in looking at the larger global picture. Opinions will vary.

Folks, stock up on non perishable things your family needs and uses while they’re available and relatively still low priced. Find the storage space, get creative. We may see shortages and we’ll certainly see price increases if that happens, and not just related to this virus. Seriously, is there such a thing as having to much toilet paper in the house?

Go ahead and look into getting your needed medications in a 90 day supply if you don’t already do this. Do you know who produces most meds or their component parts? Aren’t drug prices high enough right now? Where might they be in a few months? Daily vitamins and supplements should probably be included here as a buy now as well.

Vehicle need parts or maintenance? Might want to address that sooner than later if you look at the automotive sectors impacted.

The markets fell when the virus hit the news and to me it looks artificially propped right now to allow for the profit taking of the major holders. Bezos just liquidated a ton. One would think that folks would stay home and order more online to avoid contagion thus increasing his profits but global supply chains are already damaged, some in the short term and some longer. He knows folks can’t buy if it’s out of stock thus lowering earnings and stock prices. Why large sell for a paper loss if it’s only a small short term one that should be easily recouped.

Anyone notice a cruise line CEO sell a ton of stock recently? How hard is that sector getting hit and how much are they going to have to invest in visible decontamination of all their ships to restore public confidence?

Take a moment and think about other economic sectors that could take a hit even without a virus outbreak here in the US just simply due to the importation supply chain and associated transportation we rely on from around the globe. How would you and your families lives be impacted?

TL:DR- thoughts from the peanut gallery

Also the CDC is now changing their messaging on this. It was the virus was a low risk to the wider American population to now, "it may spread widely through the community."

Not surprised, although this is a week to 10 days earlier than I expected to see it. I figured they’d try to maintain it as more low key to prop the markets for a bit longer. The situation may be progressing more rapidly than first expected for that big of a change in tune.
