The markets are being artificially propped up, the reality is very different as the Coronavirus is spreading at great pace across the globe, leaving economic carnage and death in its wake.

AVIATION INDUSTRY -- SCREWED
HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY -- SCREWED
TOURIST INDUSTRY -- SCREWED
RETAIL -- SCREWED
MANUFACTURING -- SCREWED
SUPPLY CHAINS -- SCREWED

Make no mistake, this threat is indeed very serious and very real.......

You are little bit behind the times, no?

Crypto currency mining currently consumes enough power to pretty much supply the whole of the US.

And we think the world isn't mad?

The world has gone cuckoo!

Bitcoin using more electricity per transaction than a British household in two months

Around 98 per cent of rigs mining Bitcoin will become obsolete before they achieve anything, experts warn

Just one Bitcoin transaction uses the same amount of electricity as a British household for nearly two months, new figures have shown.

The amount of energy needed to run the cryptocurrency has soared to record annual highs of 77.78 terawatt hours the same as the entire electrical consumption of Chile.

The carbon footprint of a single transaction is the same as 780,650 Visa transactions or spending 52,043 hours watching YouTube, according to calculations by Alex de Vries, a blockchain specialist, at PWC.

“People react with disbelief, but the figures are true,” said Mr de Vries who founded the Digiconomist blog to highlight the impact.

The huge energy footprint of the currency was noted several years ago, but when the Bitcoin bubble burst in 2018, sending prices tumbling from a high of almost $20,000 (£15,600) at the end of 2017 to below $4,000 (£3,135), consumption also crashed and has only recently started soaring again....

3 new cases of C19 reported in Scotland. Public Health Scotland issuing the same advice on preventing contamination by washing hands etc but to the tune of 'Donald where's your troosers'.
Obviously theres no mention of work place prevention in the Scottish draft either.

PO - It will get worse as more and more of the population age. Must be very tiring work too with the lifting.

Don't worry the light will shine in at some time.

It will probably end by the arch loons x5 and stoned being the only posters on here, rattling their feathers. Lol

And surprise, she's a supporter of Bernie Sanders - whose staffers were caught on hidden camera espousing

"Pandemic Proportions": COVID-19 Is Starting To Spiral Out Of Control All Over The Globe




Why this is far far worse than the flu

Officials told the Daily Telegraph up to 70 per cent of Britons could catch the virus and 15 per cent of those could end up in hospital.

R0 is 4 to 7

1 in 5 get hospitalised with serious conditions.

NHS England 15 spare beds, 30 at a real push - implodes every Winter.
So 1 in 5 requiring a hospital stay:


70% of 66 million, then 15% of that require hosipitalisation.
Enough beds?No.

Mortality rate for everyone soars to 18% absent hospital bed/treatment/oxygen etc etc.

Still feel confident it's just a bout of flu that we shouldn't worry about?


Upon A Shaky Foundation... Enter Covid-19
