Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

So would I. But would you bet the under at 25 million or the over at 1 million? Where would you set the line if you were Vegas?
Somewhere between 300,000 and 650,000 people are killed by flu a year.

If I have to pull an line out of thin air, I'll go with 400,000 in 2020 (assuming Chinese statistics released thus far are accurate).
 
Common influenza has ~1% fatality rate. Corona is around ~2%. SARS was closer to 10%, higher depending on where you look. If you notice for instance the Italy fatalities they're all very elderly. Spanish flu was killing at a high rate across all age groups, Coronavirus seems to be mainly killing the elderly. I think the panic is very unwarranted but obviously there is political hay to be made by flailing around saying we're all going to die.

Flu has 1% case fatality rate? I don't know where you got that from. Is that worldwide? And yes, SARS may have had a worse fatality rate, but it was not nearly as infectious. This thing spreads like wildfire. If it doesn't end up mutating itself into a less infectious version of itself, and it doesn't die off with warm weather, then it isn't inconceivable that it could infect nearly every person.
 
11:23 am: Trump sows confusion in discussing vaccine
President Donald Trump told reporters that “we’re very close to a vaccine” while answering questions about the COVID-19 outbreak during a state visit to India, prompting outlets from the Jerusalem Post to the New York Post to write that Trump said the U.S. was close to finding a vaccine for the deadly new coronavirus. The White House later said Trump was referring to the Ebola vaccine— not the coronavirus. —Breuninger

We’re going to take an economic hit over this virus even if the US doesn’t have massive infection numbers.

Have y’all really thought about the supply chain trickle down and how much of your regular purchases for home or work are made in China?

What about businesses? What about construction for example? Where are the nails, screws, sheetrock and other necessary building supplies manufactured? Are those things getting made and shipped out right now?

Do some research on the Port of Los Angeles and how much their % of incoming shipments has already declined and what their 2020 projection currently is. How many ports are going to be in the same or worse shape? How does stuff get shipped across the country from LA and other ports? What happens to those transportation carriers if there’s nothing in the port to ship out? What happens to the folks and businesses depending on the receipt of those goods to have a job and keep their business open?

Bezos liquidated a ton of Amazon stock a week or so ago while the market was being artificially propped up, do ya think he might have an inside track on upcoming supply chain issues?

If it’s essential to the well-being of you and your family, you might want to make sure you’ve already purchased enough of it.

Body condom with its own ventilation system. Be safe.

You and I are on the same wavelength. I was trying to find a good picture without a hand last night - and gave up. Only I was thinking that would be the solution coming out of the secret congressional briefings ... for the rest of us non-essentials and deplorables - but without the ventilation package.
 
They need to be prepared for a fight.

NGB would provide in states policing activities to assist LEO’s along with DOD providing logistical support is how it would go down. Avoids any title 10’s acting as law enforcement so no PC violations.
