The real question is, will my losses in the stock market (401k and IRA) be offset by the reduction in mortgage payments (hoping to refinance down to 3.0 or 3.125%).

Also, it's not all bad. Maybe the reduction in pollution will save as many as the virus is killing: https://www.forbes.com/sites/trevor...n-drastically-reduced-pollution/#caa77a02a753

It will go away when the weather warms up.

That's kinda what happened with the Spanish flu, except the following fall/winter it came back with a vengeance.

I read an article the other day; for the life of me I can't remember what journal it was in, but the author was a world renowned virologist who studied pandemics like the 1918 flu. He said that basically a viruses intent is to get what it needs from it's host and be passed on to the next host. They don't intend to kill their hosts because that can be counterproductive to their survival. Obviously, some viruses like Ebola haven't gotten that message and sometimes weaker people can't handle the stress of a simple flu. But for the most part, as a virus "learns" it's host, it will adapt to do the least harm to the host while still getting what it needs. He said that the same flu from 1918 is still around but has mutated to be less severe. We can only hope that however bad this virus gets, it does the same thing because it appears like it may be around for a while.

Any reduction in population will be offset in 9 months. What y’all think quarantined people do for 14 days? Lol

WASHINGTON — The Senate on Thursday approved an $8.3 billion House-passed emergency spending package to combat the coronavirus that has been spreading throughout the United States.

The Senate passed the legislation in a 96-1 vote a day after the House quickly and overwhelmingly passed it in a 415-2 vote and it now goes to President Donald Trump's desk. Appropriators had released details of the bipartisan, bicameral agreement only hours earlier on Wednesday.

The agreement's swift passage through Congress came after several weeks of negotiations and as the virus’s outbreak worsened Thursday with new confirmed cases in the U.S.

Even the Spanish flu (1918) barely had an effect on world population. Hell, WWII can barely be seen on a 200 year graph:

Hopefully a vaccine would be ready by then.

I want to know what asians discovered in the 50s

 

[Elkmagnet]

Guys are going to be bragging about how many cases of tp they have just like they did with 22s during Obama's presidency.

The rest of the world is quarantining to try to control the spread. China restricted movement for 700 million people. Schools are closed in China, Japan, Italy, S Korea and other countries. Hotspots are ghost towns.

The US? We’re having an argument about which political party caused the virus. Very limited testing, schools are open in hotspots with no quarantine. Without testing, we have no idea how bad it is here, and the bug will be completely lose in all states before we do react.

This just in from the Texas Dept of Health:

Wash your hands as if you had just finished slicing your jalapenos for your salsa, and decided you need to take your contacts out.

 

[Red Fox]

Somethings just don't make any sense, I can see the shortage on masks and sanitizer but why do people go over board on TP? How much of this do you need to stay home for a week or two if that is what they are planning. They say it is flu like not all out diarrhea

This just broke on MSNBC. Outbreaks in Colorado and Wyoming. Coronavirus has jumped to Elk, mule deer, and antelope. They can transmit it back to humans for up to 5 years. This is terrible news, but I thought you guys should know.
