I don't think the markets received the budget well. I think there is a general concern over affordability.

Seems some good advice there but I question some of the facts based on other facts we already know. In China about 20% of those who had bad symptoms needed hospital treatment and most recovered. If coughing and fever always meant 50% fibrosis and death then the recovery rates and mortality shown in China would be much much higher.

It could be the case that the elder generation who have died in California didn't react initially on first symptoms - because they thought it was something else - which made the 50% fibrosis figure more common.

Nevertheless, some generally sensible advice it seems.

Thanks for posting. :)

Youve got a lot to go at !

[spcecks] 12/3/2020 09:51

I will just keep calm and add on weakness.

[bbalanjones] 12/3/2020 09:36

Cheers gnr! That's the advice needed. Shared with a couple of fellow heart patients' support sites.

~GNR good info .. I had a good night sleep after some one said that if when the recovery comes it will be 'V' shaped

Yes it has, unfortunately 99.9999% of the worlds population can’t yet see it yet.

Eventually they will.

Mankind is facing a pandemic of unimaginable magnitude and suffering, combined with a world drowning in debt, that has zero chance of being repaid.

It is absolutely vital that you put family first , particular children

We are not far off, forced sellers of ALL ASSETS, (bar Gold , for immediate delivery)

Paper gold, might as well be flushed down the toilet.

I have no predictions on the outcome of this terrible virus.

I do have some predictions on the likely financial outcomes

1/ Most shares are not far off worthless as profits will be extinguished for years, even then, investors might pay a pe of 3 for the the best growth stocks.

2/ Most bonds ( company and government ) worthless as everyone defaults.

3/ House Tiny values after banks go bust and stop lending. No one has a job.

4/ Land for food production has some value but needs to be protected.

Trust in business goes down the pan in a straight line, world trade dries up as everyone wants to be paid up front.

The only medium of exchange for goods and services that CAN BE TRUSTED BY ALL is, GOLD.

No one wants printed sheets of toilet paper. ( money

It’s about to turn on a sixpence.

Governments will furnish the world with yet more, free cash, but they can’t control the mindset of the people, or the virus.

From now on, it’s about staying alive and doing your bit for others

With regard to Lloyds dividend actually being paid, is it safe or could Lloyds withhold it due to this s..t storm?

From member of the Stanford hospital board. This is their feedback for now on Corona virus: The new Coronavirus may not show sign of infection for many days. How can one know if he/she is infected? By the time they have fever and/or cough and go to the hospital, the lung is usually 50% Fibrosis and it's too late. Taiwan experts provide a simple self-check that we can do every morning. Take a deep breath and hold your breath for more than 10 seconds. If you complete it successfully without coughing, without discomfort, stiffness or tightness, etc., it proves there is no Fibrosis in the lungs, basically indicates no infection. In critical time, please self-check every morning in an environment with clean air. Serious excellent advice by Japanese doctors treating COVID-19 cases: Everyone should ensure your mouth & throat are moist, never dry. Take a few sips of water every 15 minutes at least. Why? Even if the virus gets into your mouth, drinking water or other liquids will wash them down through your throat and into the stomach. Once there, your stomach acid will kill all the virus. If you don't drink enough water more regularly, the virus can enter your windpipe and into the lungs. That's very dangerous. Please send and share this with family and friends. Take care everyone and may the world recover from this Coronavirus soon. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - CORONAVIRUS 1. If you have a runny nose and sputum, you have a common cold 2. Coronavirus pneumonia is a dry cough with no runny nose. 3. This new virus is not heat-resistant and will be killed by a temperature of just 26/27 degrees. It hates the Sun. 4. If someone sneezes with it, it takes about 10 feet before it drops to the ground and is no longer airborne. 5. If it drops on a metal surface it will live for at least 12 hours - so if you come into contact with any metal surface - wash your hands as soon as you can with a bacterial soap. 6. On fabric it can survive for 6-12 hours. normal laundry detergent will kill it. 7. Drinking warm water is effective for all viruses. Try not to drink liquids with ice. 8. Wash your hands frequently as the virus can only live on your hands for 5-10 minutes, but - a lot can happen during that time - you can rub your eyes, pick your nose unwittingly and so on. 9. You should also gargle as a prevention. A simple solution of salt in warm water will suffice. 10. Can't emphasis enough - drink plenty of water! THE SYMPTOMS 1. It will first infect the throat, so you'll have a sore throat lasting 3/4 days 2. The virus then blends into a nasal fluid that enters the trachea and then the lungs, causing pneumonia. This takes about 5/6 days further. 3. With the pneumonia comes high fever and difficulty in breathing. 4. The nasal congestion is not like the normal kind. You feel like you're drowning. It's imperative you then seek immediate attention.

Still no bottom in sight for the ftse or Lloyd's sp!

Have to decide what is more important: wealth or health. PM is elected to make tough decisions. Good luck on this one, Boris.

Theresa May had it tough with Brexit, Gordon Brown had foot & mouth (well not him personally). Neither was as tough as this!

Boris' chance to be truly Churchillian. But he has to be guided by Health and Medical experts/advisers, and don't pressure them. Possibly send Cummings on holiday til its over.

Fangorn, or whatever your handle was before CtR and WBecki has become increasingly bitter over the years. It has addled your judgement.

"Joe Say12 Mar '20 - 08:02 - 296098 of 296108
we need to stop flights to and from Europe now given the US's actions
Where would you hazard a guess they'll transit through - LHR per chance?"


Indeed. We are still receiving flights from Italy, and infected zone, and have no health checks of any sort on their arrival at LHR / Gatwick and co.

Very sinister.

The excuse. They get checked at the port of embarkation so we do not have to.

Farcical.

Alp is holed by Remoanerdom. Not worth listening to ensconced as he is, over in Switzerland.

We are an island, if we had earlier brought the shutters down for 30days it would have maybe protected us better but the economy would have taken an all mighty hit so I suppose that's why it wasnt done.
