Italy

12% of infections are health workers.

[dround87] 10/3/2020 13:01

Maybe that's why folk read Buffet instead

[loganair] 10/3/2020 12:55

monty - Spain has just over taken France in the number of coronavirus cases it has and now has the 5th largest number of cases in the world, behind, China, Italy, Iran and South Korea.

I don't short, but 2 weeks into the end of an 11 year record bull run is a tad early to even start drip feeding in my book. But you are the professional

[dround87] 10/3/2020 12:51

Yep. Basic stuff ham straight out of the Buffet play book. Drip feed through a crash and you'll make money. Not too hard to figure out why is it? I'm going to set aside the fact that you could be a disingenuous shorter deliberately pushing terrible investing advice and just assume you're new to this and have no idea what you're doing.

Ok buying the shares now

[montyhedge] 10/3/2020 12:46

Just landed in Spain, Gatwick empty, but to be fair BA plane 75% full not to bad.

[hamhamham1] 10/3/2020 12:29

Buy, buy, buy!!!

[loganair] 10/3/2020 12:28

Qantas cutting international flights by 25%.

[1 nhs] 10/3/2020 12:25

You don’t need to be a maths teacher to :

Look up the chart of Italian infections, number to hit for country shutdown (by population)

Times number of countries in the world

Within 2 weeks your looking at a year on year 75% fall in passenger flights

[loganair] 10/3/2020 12:04

American Airlines cutting capacity by a further 7.5% on its domestic routes.

Stobart Air who operated many Flybe routes as a franchise and operate Air Lingus regional routes and own Southend Airport are now reporting they're in financial trouble.

Alitalia has cut capacity by 22%, I would have thought it would have been a lot more considering the whole of Italy is on lock down.


European Airlines are now losing $770mln in revenue per week compared to non-coronavirus times.

[loganair] 10/3/2020 11:46

British Airways taking back 12 remedy Heathrow slots from Flybe.

BA will use A319 5 x Edinburgh, 3 x Aberdeen, 4 x Newquay.

Share some Coronavirus knowledge with you all, apologies if a bit tedious and off topic.

Coronavirus SARS-2 causes the disease we now call Covid-19 which is...


1/ Communicable even in the asymptomatic incubation phase with an
R(0) ie the basic reproduction of around 3.4

2/ Of relatively long duration

3/ Much more likely to have complications. 15% of cases require medical
intervention including breathing support. Most patients in this
group will remain at home.

4/ In 5% of cases critical requiring ventilatory support. This is a
complex task requiring 1-2-1 nursing, multiple daily ward rounds by
doctors specialising in respiratory medicine.

The NHS has 4,048 critical care beds. Occupancy varies but is typically around 70-80% therefore we only ever have 800 to 1200 available critical care beds. So the plan is to cancel many operations and use NHS operating theatres for critical care, logical as surgical staff become available to administer critical care.

TAKE VITAMIN D, please do this even if my paragraph above is tedious.

TAKE VITAMIN D, reduces both infection rates and complications by 70% in patients with low Vitamin D. Most of us are Vitamin D decicient.

[dround87] 10/3/2020 11:30

Would be good advice though

[hamhamham1] 10/3/2020 11:30

So buy, buy, buy!!!
(not meant as advice)

[milliecusto] 10/3/2020 11:25

[loganair] 10/3/2020 11:17

Just to confirm - BA have now stopped all flights to Italy.

Whole of Italy now on lock down.

Air France have just cancelled 3,500 flights.

Also in France, 5 members of their parliament have caught coronavirus.

[toon1966] 10/3/2020 11:13

BA cancels all flights to and from Italy.
