Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

If this congress stuff is true, F them all. My portfolio took a hit, as did almost everybody else’s. This is BS.

I ve been lucky so far. My financial guy had advised me a few months back to make some adjustments. He thought the market was setting up for a slide he just didnt see it coming from a virus.

I've lost but not near what some have.

We already know that and we will still take each opportunity to point out your idiocy to you if for no other reason than sheer enjoyment

United States Coronavirus: 14,265 Cases and 218 Deaths - Worldometer

I found this to be encouraging. Death rate of .01 in the US. Critical rate of only .004 (of active cases). You know there are greater numbers still out there that haven’t been diagnosed as well which would also bring those numbers down.

I also find it interesting that even though there have been strict guidelines and limited testing, there is still under a 25% positive test result for the >45k people tested.

That is 1.5% mortality.

But I still find it encouraging. I think infected is 3 to 10 fold what is reported.

Might need an extra roll depending on the mix.

I’m guessing that is part of the issue.... everyone with a cold thinks they are dying with the Chinese virus.

China's numbers have been lowered too...here's my take..under 40 most are asymptomatic so they probably don't go to the Dr...the older more symptomatic patients get tested and skew the rate....I think the true rate will be under 1% still deadly than the normal flu season but not enough to destroy the world economy imo

Will be interesting to see which Congress members avoid the press going forward.

 

[BP4Prez]

Ah yes. Forgot some basic math. That 1.5 percent is obviously much greater than the .01

I kinda want to see what Pelosi, Aunty Maxiene , Schumer and Schiff’s recent stock sell offs look like . I’ll bet the farm it’s not just Republicans that got ahead of the game .

It’s public record. You can go see who did and don’t trade their stock. If they did Fox News will find out.

He have to publicly disclose their transactions, so all this should be available

China has been instituting some hardcore containment measures, though. Our measures don't really compare, ,at this point.

I know people say "we're not China" and "we're not Italy", but that doesn't do much to stop the pandemic.

I wonder how many people on this forum would hold a stock, not sell it, and ride it to the bottom if they got information that would lead them to think it was going to tank.

Considering Pelosi has been taken to task for using info from her position to leverage preferential stock positions in the past I'd say you're right.

They've been doing this for years.

You're the small and narrow-minded fool.

Just the ones that coordinated the impeachment, right?

Speaking of which I received a piece of mail today that said "Community Survey" on the outside but was actually a solicitation for cremation Lol.

About the same amount that would have criminal exposure, if it met the standard of insider trading, or some equivalent.

But that wasn't your question... I'd be smarter about it.

Only if you drink the blended worm mix.
