I'll be buying Philip Morris International (US) if it falls closer to $65.

Of course we can control the virus. It just needs assertive action and recognition of what needs to be done rather than be in a constant state of dither and denial.

Boris is dithering and I thought he didn't like dithering.

I would imagine that blouse manufacturers are doing quite well at the moment, especially for the larger lady. I am thinking of going for a pint later, but not sure if I dare. Hmmmmmm, decisions, decisions.

People will be more depressed looking at their share prices going down down deeper deeper down than Coronavirus...

Well, normally we would have strong leadership and they would 'calm the chimps' but I don't see that coming out of No 10 or The Whitehouse. Equally, the FED and the BofE are looking a little stupid ATM.

This is not over yet.If we want to control the virus here in UK we need and must take Chinese stile actions.

Evening all. I just popped in to see if Min has made this vaccine yet? I have stopped buying loo roll and have started stock pilling pampers, in case this market gets any worse. I see a lot of people are running around thinking the end is nigh. Grow a pair ffs.

Is the world going to end? No.
Will people fly in 12 months time? Yes.
Will life continue as normal in 12 months time? Yes.

Might as well shut the stock exchange...

[minerve 2] 12/3/2020 13:14

All getting a bit Silly Billy.

Data is sketchy, min is correct to take precaution. No point in looking for risk, or putting others at risk unless necessary. Don't touch things whilst out and about, hand rails door handles etc. Pay contactless and don't handle cash. Whatever you cut down on contact points simply reduces your chances of catching it by the same percentage.

the virus will weaken,EI,as it spreads..all viruses do.. Apparently this is so basic a piece of knowledge that our wise authorities choose not to mention it,or the non existent death rate world wide for the under 50's.

summer kills it all off.

"Coronavirus Can Live in Patients for Five Weeks After Contagion"

Patients with the new coronavirus keep the pathogen in their respiratory tract for as long as 37 days, a new study found.



Hmm 14 days quarantine wont be enough then....

"1carus12 Mar '20 - 12:43 - 296160 of 296163
Worldometers.info has some useful CV19 stats. If it is accurate"

Given China accounts for the clear majority of the numbers them lying and falsifying the true numbers means the worldometer is useless.

Better to look at the individual nations
South Lorea/Singapore vs Italy(Iran is as untrustworthy as Chinese numbers side)

"But 500 is not impacting business, but it will when 50000+"

The Impact on Businesses will be due to the Precautionary shut down of life as we know it, which may well kick in this afternoon!

Edit: Or Not :)

Hyper al,the hoax seems the same as the Official Stanford one..what is the difference?

[w1ndjammer] 12/3/2020 12:47

The BBC reported [1]:

"There were around 50,100 excess winter deaths in England and Wales in 2017-18 - the highest since the winter of 1975-76, figures from the Office for National Statistics show

[minerve 2] 12/3/2020 12:44

It should be taken seriously whatever age you are.

This was a slow-motion Katrina and you could see it coming.

The problem with statistics is that you can put whatever spin on it you like. Some youngsters have died but they could have had underlying health issues, delayed seeking medical help or been exposed to a massive viral load.

Best plan of action is to make absolutely sure you don't get it in the first place. I am driving my GF mad with my aggressive plan. She will thank me later. :)

Italy reported 2,000 new cases today. Just in case some are not aware.

[1carus] 12/3/2020 12:43

Worldometers.info has some useful CV19 stats. If it is accurate it could be viewed that cv19 is being blown out of all proportion. 16.5 cases per million in countries reporting incidents. Less than 5000 deaths world wide and most from 3 countries. Statistical reporting is too sketchy to make an informed decision as you only know about the ones you have tested. Nightmare scenario is being taken as the default.
