DOW rallied to just 1.3% down actually. As far as I know the North Pole isn't a continent as it's an ice flow. No land underneath. Antarctica is a continent however.... More Geography lessons tomorrow :-)

How people were affected by sar
In how many countries

Jeez to compare the 2 is ridiculous. Thus damn virus is growing every day it's now in every single continent apart from the north pole.

Some thing doesn't feel right about this virus. Lots of lies.

The market is telling you the truth. Dow to collapse in last 5mins

Next week is going to be far worse than the last.

Reason

Death rates start to jump outside China.

Look for heaps more deaths from the cruise ship to show up

5 out of 600; so far.

geees more scare mongering .......can we just give it a rest please.

[watfordhornet] 28/2/2020 20:15

Not going to help that someone has contracted it U.K. rather then abroad. If that starts multiplying we soon become another Italy

NPP62 .....couldn't agree more.

There won't be a vaccine for at least 12 months. Not a chance. However this is just another strain of flu. SARS had an 8?% mortality rate and we didn't have all this fuss. This has a 1-2% mortality rate. Normal flu kills 100-200 people a year in this country and there's never a sniff of panic! Let's have some perspective! I'm in at 469, and happy to add on the inevitable weakness knowing that this price will look like a bargain in 12 months time!

never ceases to amaze me the number of shorters on this BB who are happy to see IAG shares collapse. Indeed the further they fall, the happier they appear to be.

Guess they won't be happy until they see IAG collapse completely, then they will move on to another company....if they haven't already.

Dont panic, vaccine only 3 months away....thats just 90 days of grounded flights!!!htTps://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://nypost.com/2020/02/28/israeli-scientists-claim-to-be-weeks-away-from-coronavirus-vaccine/amp/&ved=2ahUKEwj-gceh4vTnAhV0t3EKHbGkDiUQFjAAegQIAxAB&usg=AOvVaw1htpMzZvbwnNzvK4bH094H&cf=1

People still not getting it . This is basically a flu virus .
Mild flu symptoms for most people.
This panic is caused by the media and the markets.
Madness.

SmithS2019.......agree entirely.

Yes all abroad right now is for extremely brave people.

What a bloodbath which is just the tip of the iceberg. Next week will see the biggest drops of the decade.

Double digit declines and when you think it's hit the bottom you then start to think again

Map of Italy's regions affected.
Was meant to go to Sorrento tomorrow, cancelled that, will go elsewhere or nowhere.

Tin foil hats, AK47 and a prepper manual NHS?

A large proportion of the British population have the weekend off.

I believe this may be the last few days to prepare for the inevitable before mass panic.

My free simple advice is to do the following.

Draw as much cash out per day from your bank as you can.

Go food shopping for foods that store for two years, and that you would normally eat.

Get long term medication ( not easy on the NHS for more than 3 months.)

Buy heating fuel ( that you normally use ) dry timber / gas bottles f...

The depression will see unemployment jump to near 28% around the globe.

The world has changed.

Mankind has no idea of what’s hitting them on a daily basis.

It’s here and now.

[hamhamham1] 28/2/2020 14:49

Markets are hoping for good news where it is unlikely soon.

[spacedust] 28/2/2020 14:35

Wow dow op3ns almost 700pts decline on open. My 500 prediction is destroyed

[spacedust] 28/2/2020 14:29

Still chance for that.

Watch dow lose 800pts. Open 500pts below mini spike the relentless decline

[hamhamham1] 28/2/2020 14:28

Its the unknowns as much as the new news in coronavirus which may cause more sell offs.
If you got a good profit on an investment then many will be tempted to cash in and have a peaceful sleep over this period.

[montyhedge] 28/2/2020 14:25

Held very well, thought about 425p with the uncertainty going forward.

[watfordhornet] 28/2/2020 14:22

I can see lots wanting to be out b4 weekend but knowing Trump he will come out with something after U.K. hours.I am now pretty much out but would not be surprised if some more positive news comes out over weekend. Cannot have another week like this

[hamhamham1] 28/2/2020 14:20

If the ftse100 loses another 120 points, then thats down 1000 points since Monday morning.
Careless.
