Good points. However I believe the share price flu was spread by troops on trains and ships travelling around various places. Made me pause for thought though when I read it killed more soldiers than died in the war.

@GBH2

Who's to know. There is apparently an HIV insertion in the RNA....Which isn't "natural" in nature. Hence the use of HIV drugs on patients to date.

@Poikka

I'd also have him parachuted out when overhead.....
absent parachute of course.

[gbh2] 02/3/2020 10:59

IF recent reports are correct COV-19 acts more like HIV than Influenza.

Rubi - "I'd have Hamzu deported back to his country of origin"

Thought he'd already been deported to the US to face charges?

But, agree, I'd have HAD him deported back to his country of origin. Utter madness to keep him here at our expense, goes against all logic.

Looking to be positive the so called Spanish flu which killed between 20 - 50 + million lasted about 18 months. It then stopped as all those who were going had gone and the rest had developed immunity"

Yep there were three cycles.
Fall 1918
Winter 1918 which was really bad.
Then Winter 1919.

Am expecting Covid-19 to follow same pattern.


"A lot of the deaths occuŕed in hitherto fairly underdeveloped countries. Vaccines were developed in the 1940's as flu along with other diseases became more understood"


KEY for Spanish flu was famine was widespread,malnutrition et al due to WW1.
So populaces were vulnerable.

We are all well fed now(But I'd wager our immune systems arent as strong as they used to be, in say 1960'2-1990's as most kids no longer play outside in the dirt!)

Going against us is that the world is far more global - travel all over the world is so much easier, faster, and cheaper. So that'd be a negative.

Who knows how this pans out.

We could be lucky. We could not be.

But it pays to prepare.

We most certainly are not the same person.

Laughable that you'd even contemplate such.

Pierre, many of these scientists have been unfairly labelled climate change deniers. Pulling holes in the narrative I should imagine is extremely lucrative. The likes of Richard Lidzen (renown atmospheric physicists) are in the pockets of the coal/ oil & gas companies to challenge the claims of the green brigade which leave themselves open to attack with dodgy science.
Imo the climate change due to man is undeniable you only have to plot global warming against world population figures to arrive at that conclusion.

It then stopped as all those who were going had gone and the rest had developed immunity. A lot of the deaths occuŕed in hitherto fairly underdeveloped countries. Vaccines were developed in the 1940's as flu along with other diseases became more understood. In fact I believe the true cause of the share price flu was only discovered in 1990. The media bad as it is at least informa as to hygiene and preventative actions - even though we have a large minority of incurable nobs. So my take is it may get worse but it is unlikely to be anywhere like the worst predictios

...the considerable willingness of governments and central banks to act should not be confused with effectiveness...

DOW futures still looking healthy. Bit confused about what I'm seeing here.But then again I've never seen a market quite like this before and I've beentrading/ investing since the 80's.

Have you seen that Emirates advert, fk me it's got black/ white mixed race, even a chinese baby. No fat Jocks though (the rascist barstewards need hauling before the advertising commission).

Ctr 897 spot on. Germany rely on Russia for virtually all their power needs so cant see the EU backing Turkey. EU are paralysed by bureaucracy as usual & if the migrant flow adversely impacts Italy (which it will) I'd expect them to leave next which will probably be the end of the EU.

My take on novel Coronavirus is that it will become pandemic, if it hasn't already. That creates a serious worldwide demand and supply shock, lowers economic activity, and the stock market will fall further ... until evidence shows that the virus is either under control or is burning out ... and then markets will bounce back strongly. That might be sometime in 2021 as the numbers for quarters 2 will be subdued and future forecasts will be poor. Banks are in a much better position to ride through this than in 2007/8. Not good news by any means but not a disaster for long term holders either.

@Utricky,

Hahaha too funny.
I never realised he was Belgian. Explains alot if true.

CtR Hes quite obviously spent a lot of time in Europe the level of indoctrination is evident. Prior to Brexit I'm sure his introduction went along the lines of:
Minerve, enchante. I'm terribly continental dont you know!!! I've had dogs legs, snail & tapas & will try absolutely anything once followed by a big saucy wink. 😉.

Immigration, the subject every politician lies about


Even commercial advertising has become a form of racial engineering. Advertisers are pressured to show the typical British family are of mixed race. In reality just 3.5% of all children born in Britain are from such families as are my own children.




"Indeed. Every other advert has a black in it if there isn't a mixed race family, and of those mixed race families 8 out of 10 the woman is white/the man black.
Occasionally,just very occasionally you get a white man with a black woman. And even less frequently an Asian with either a white man or white woman.

Why are blacks given such precedence over other races?"


As to "Chain migration" - ban it.
