Just going to close that gap at 5.55, why should it fall further unless a global slump in travel, but Far East, although fastest growing market, still relatively small in terms of profit!

-------------- CORONAVIRUS and AIRCRAFT FLIGHTS ----------------

The way this new virus transmits from person to person is as yet not fully known.

Thus when a person with it travels on a plane the virus could be present after the person has left the plane.

How long could the plane then pose a virus transmission threat to the passengers next to use it ?


WHO needs to address this

Wuhan Coronavirus Looks Increasingly Like a Pandemic, Experts Say

[dround87] 02/2/2020 19:29

Hmm. Damage already done in China. Already going to hit the figures globally. And we don't know really how much is left to run. ETF shorts for me this week then I'll think about recovery plays.

Good stocks agreed but further to fall yet I think

[watfordhornet] 02/2/2020 18:04

Am I the only buying and thinking we will look back later in the year as this being a great opportunity. The virus is hardly vicious, a vaccine appears found(although testing will take 6 months) and not spreading too quickly. Those 2 UK people must have been in close contact with loads and I do not see them catching it.IAG, BP and HSBC all look good from where I am standing

No one takes any notice on bulletin boards on what posters say, to make investment decisions if they did they should not be investing.

Farrugia

"The problem with airlines is that if there's an outbreak in an European country most airlines will stop flying. Plus the virus frightens people from flying and going on holiday"

With silly statements like that, you're at risk......of being called a comedian!

[m1k3y1] 02/2/2020 14:22

Farrugia.....why are you trying sooooooo hard to persuade people not to buy IAG shares ?

Coronavirus live update: After deadly virus outbreak, China faces H5N1 bird flu.



Cases are also being found in India now

The problem with airlines is that if there's an outbreak in an European country most airlines will stop flying. Plus the virus frightens people from flying and going on holiday.

Indeed, is the world now full of panicking snowflake wimps, get a grip ffs



Get a grippe, America. The flu is a much bigger threat than coronavirus, for now.

Feb. 1, 2020 at 1:00 p.m. GMT
The rapidly spreading virus has closed schools in Knoxville, Tenn., cut blood donations to dangerous levels in Cleveland and prompted limits on hospital visitors in Wilson, N.C. More ominously, it has infected as many as 26 million people in the United States in just four months, killing up to 25,000 so far.

In other words, a difficult but not extraordinary flu season in the United States, the kind most people shrug off each winter or handle with rest, fluids and pain relievers if they contract the illness.

But this year, a new coronavirus from China has focused attention on diseases that can sweep through an entire population, rattling the public despite the current magnitude of the threat. Clearly, the flu poses the bigger and more pressing peril; a handful of cases of the new respiratory illness have been reported in the United States, none of them fatal or apparently even life-threatening.

The Flu does not stop airlines flying The current virus has go figure

[m1k3y1] 02/2/2020 10:04

worraps.......thank you for the perspective and a rational view.

[worraps] 02/2/2020 09:46

A bit of perspective on all the hysteria and scaremongering

[bookbroker] 02/2/2020 07:34

Maybe 400 deceased 03.02 at this rate, numbers will continue rising until cusp in infected tops out! These figures may already be conservative if many cases not reported!

[farrugia] 02/2/2020 06:29

as of today 14,568 infected and 305 dead! its gonna be a bad day tomorrow.

Walsh’s successor trails in pay stakes

[m1k3y1] 01/2/2020 10:28

Farrugia..... talk about spreading panic !!!!!!
your own link only says 100,00 and yet you say millions !!!!
In addition, being infected is not the same as dying.

Currently 11,791 infected and only 259 deaths, which is very low .

Stop spreading fear and panic.

[farrugia] 31/1/2020 23:01

millions of people will be infected before a vaccine can be found - by then the world economy (and transport) will be on their knees! The numbers infected could hit to millions infected by the end of February given the current infection trajectory.



'Getting a handle on the numbers is becoming more urgent as the outbreak spreads beyond China’s borders, prompting the World Health Organization to declare a global health emergency. Neil Ferguson, a public health expert at Imperial College London, said his “best guess” was that 100,000 people could be infected around the world, according a Jan. 26 report in the Guardian.'

There are too many people getting being found infected and circulating around the world for the numbers to be small! This can't be a coincidence.

Phase 1 is a minimum 3 months away, so looking at over a year, SARS took 20 months to get a vaccine back in 2003, difference to SARS that you only became contagious when you where sick, this virus is 2-14 days before symptom showsLike any virus, it will burn itself out as it roots the weak out and the strong become immune after infection, however how long will that take and much damaged Globally will it cause.
