All a Bank these days is a Hard Drive in a back street of India
Cynical, me?

The general points EK made look fair to me, whether you agree with
the prices mentioned, or not.

Ekuuleus - thanks for those posts.

Germany's Robert Koch Institute confirmed on Friday that the number of coronavirus cases in the country climbed to 543 as of 7 am CET, rising by 143 from its previous days figure of 400.

The government agency stressed there could be more cases in the country that still haven't been reported to the institute and urged all people who suspect they may be infected to contact health authorities.

According to ear;lier media reports, 17 people in Germany have recovered from the disease, while there have been no COVID-19 related deaths in the country. No data about the number of tests performed in Germany has been available.

The remainers predicted the end of the world if we voted out.


And so it comes to pass...

LLOY is not Lloyds bank...its just another ticker on a screen
LLOY falling 3% a day and posters cheering a div payout in 3 months time?
Yesterday USA's Pence said they hope to have 75,000 test kits available!
They can not even test yet never mind treat or contain.
So today is Friday...what is the good news you are going to hear over the weekend that will boost LLOY share price come Monday morning?
Perhaps you could ask a couple of bank clercs in the pasty queue at Greggs

perhaps mr.elbee

Yesterday lunchtime I was chatting to a couple of LLOY's employees and they were saying it's Bonus time but they're refusing shares and wanting cash.

I told them I'd go for the shares but they said confidence is low in their offices.

You people..
There is no point shouting at your screens... this is silly
You have to accept what is before your very eyes
Do you want to see, it will be a big relief for you when you accept
It is not about how many people are dying, its about things such as China car sales down 80%...do you understand?

[mr.elbee] 06/3/2020 08:46

Dont agree with anything you have said Ekuuleus..It is all factually wrong and very superficial.

Never mind..We'll get on down the pub I am sure.

[mr.elbee] 06/3/2020 08:42

God help this pathetic country if something really serious happened.

Right now?

illogicality rules
ignorance rules
deference to illogical and ill-informed and ignorant experts
rules

and ,statistically, and medically there is hardly a problem...

we are all becoming snowflakes..

This is the southern media's revenge on Northerners for voting Brexit.

cant anyone grow up?

Yup, men have a tendency to confuse a cold with a flu, ask any women!!.

Some major differences. A flu will usually raise temperature, your appetite disappears and if you drink tea, it will leave a metallic taste in your mouth. Aches all over, often with joint pain.

[ekuuleus] 06/3/2020 08:32

You can only record 1 cause of death. Measuring the death rate can be very misleading.

Whilst CV may have a higher rate, it is generally people that already have serious conditions. About 2% of people die every year. At 2% for corona virus, it sounds scary but death rates from other conditions, e.g. cancer, copd, diabeties, will substantially reduce.

[gaffer73] 06/3/2020 08:27

That's why the precautions have been taken.

[mikemichael2] 06/3/2020 08:26

'30 times more deadly than flu'

Think you are wrong there, everyone i know who has had proper flu, and not just a cold, are usually bed bound for a few days and weak as hell. We are told CV in most cases is mild, and in many you won't even know you have had it !!!

However, doubled up on the bog rolls.Not because of the virus, but the Lloyds Share price.

[essentialinvestor] 06/3/2020 08:23

That's the reported death rate, likely very different from the death rate.
However even at 1% it would be 10x more virulent than seasonal flu.

[spandy83] 06/3/2020 08:21

That's exactly why there is panic. This Coronavirus is 30 times more deadly than Flu. Death rate of 3% vs 0.1%. If it became as widespread as flu there'd be substantial annual deaths from it; and it'll likely mutate (possibly get worse, possibly better like swine flu eventually did). It may seem like sensationalism but these people do know what they're talking about.

[ignoble] 06/3/2020 08:18

Well put Gaffer...

The worst virus is every tw*t and his brother flooding Social Media with their opinion that everyone believes.
Imho

[pal44] 06/3/2020 08:16

put it in context about 2000 people die on uk roads thats about 40 a week or 8 per day now why dont we report on this ..

[smartypants] 06/3/2020 08:16

So far....
The United Kingdom spent at least £4.4 billion on preparations for the country's withdrawal from the European Union, the National Audit Office said in a report published on Friday.

Most money was spent on staffing, infrastructure building and external consulting according to the independent watchdog responsible for auditing the government.
The amount of money makes up approximately 70% of the total amount allocated for the planning purposes.

[mikemichael2] 06/3/2020 08:04

Flu has a 'peak', we are a fair way off the peak.

[gaffer73] 06/3/2020 07:55

87000 death's from flu and no one bat's an eye. 3500 from coronavirus and the world is in a blind panic.

[ekuuleus] 06/3/2020 07:52

yes pugugly, especially the corporate loans and corporate culture issues.
