Corona virus

Friend of mine works for CDC and is currently on assignment @ WHO HQ in Switzerland - she sent the following link which contains daily situation reports provided directly to WHO through official channels from WHO member nations:

Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Situation Reports

The Weekly Epidemiological Update provides an overview of the global, regional and country-level COVID-19 cases and deaths, highlighting key data and trends; as well as other pertinent epidemiological information concerning the COVID-19 pandemic.

The bottom line is if you haven't refreshed your skills and preparedness by closely studying World War Z recently, you're putting yourself and your family in mortal danger!

All I know is Costco stopped handing out food samples as a precautionary measure. They are dead to me.

Police-enforced quarantine hits Calif. residential block after man’s coronavirus death

Sacramento County Sheriff deputies and Rocklin Police, some wearing protective gloves, converged on a residential street as a sheriff’s helicopter circled overhead , ordering people to get inside.

Here's government in action. Dude died days ago, infected a passenger ship.

Now some genius in city hall says "hey, we haven't created enough of a panic, let's send the cops"

1 million people cross our border daily. But we are going to send armed police to shut down a neighborhood?

This will end VERY badly.

Not to mention, what did/does it accomplish?

It was nearly 2 months from China announcing to now. Since they ANNOUNCED. Meaning it was prevalent long before then.

Quarantine works to slow infection. But you don't slow something that was around a month or so by quarantining where it was 2 weeks ago.

There ain't enough cops or national guard to pull off what some idiot in government thinks is good cuz we got an influx of $$$ from the feds and need to spend it.

Old folks and sick folks are susceptible.

Perhaps increased security around old folks homes and rehab centers would be a waaayyy better use of cops?.


Not enough that TP is on a run. Now Ammo shortages will start.

If you were really worried, you would shut the border.

And for what? A disease that does what the flu does, except it doesn't affect kids.

so much media coverage hyping people up, even rational people are getting paranoid.

with that said, I am happy I do not live in a big city

The school board for the school district where my son goes to kindergarten just closed all schools for a week in the district due to a parent testing positive for CORVID 19.

Interesting to read some of the comments here and on some of the other platforms I have. When I am tasked with sorting out what is hyperbole or fact on topics I don't know much about, I look to the markets. The markets are the best assessment of risks we have. They employ the best risk assessment professionals in the world. If they think this is a big deal, enough to create serious market disruptions, it gets my attention.

I'll leave the spin doctoring to FOX or CNN, knowing they have their biases for framing the discussion the way they do.

Talking to a friend who makes his living advising large portfolios on risk factors, he says the experts they are relying on as specialists for assessing the risk to this virus have issued a big alarm, to a degree he has not seen in a while. I will take his assessment as valid. I won't discount it and it appears the markets have taken it seriously, also.

When I told him I was going to the petri dish known as Las Vegas, he laughed and asked if it was really that important to go. I went.

Might be a whole lot smarter and more fun to try and find some Walleyes in the middle of the biggest reservoir you know.

That makes perfect sense, since this virus surfaced I think another factor is the amount of TP left on the shelves

I can't help but ask, are they assessing risk to people, or risk that we will crash the economy acting like fools.?

Has anyone asked them if they are closing down each time there is a positive test? Seems like school is permanently cancelled forever if that is the case

Crazy, 16 million quarantined in Italy.

Antonio Pesenti, head of the Lombardy regional crisis response unit, told the Corriere della Sera newspaper the health system in Lombardy was “a step away from collapse” as intensive care facilities came under growing strain from the new cases.

“We’re now being forced to set up intensive care treatment in corridors, in operating theaters, in recovery rooms. We’ve emptied entire hospital sections to make space for seriously sick people,” he said.

Italy locks down millions as its coronavirus deaths jump

Italy ordered a virtual lockdown across much of its wealthy north, including the financial capital Milan, in a drastic new attempt to try to contain a outbreak of coronavirus that saw the number of deaths leap again sharply on Sunday.

In May I'm supposed to attend a Union event in Las Vegas. I've declined this year's *festivities.

I'm enjoying the $ playing swing trades and having moved my TSP to G & F a week into this crap, I'm making a good chunk considering I'm not losing that chunk in C & S.
It's a simple single minute to re-allocate your funds yet, well, to each his/her own. If your interested though not familiar, pm and I'll share a step by step... Basically 3 steps and it's changed overnight.

Inovio, Gildean, Moderna, etc... When the market's losing money, that means there is money made within... Inovio releases human trials April, Moderna in March. Wish I jumped on Inovio when it was a fraction it's current value.

Risk to the economy/companies because of the the high risk to the populations.

Today we had the first positive test for Corvid 19 here in the state of Iowa. Three people tested positive after returning from a cruise based out of Egypt.

Let's face it, we're all going to die. Dump your preference/bonus points now!
