No, they probably want a bonus for stopping divi payments.

Is it me or have I missed public sector salaries being cut to share the pain of the private sector!

[milliecusto] 09/4/2020 09:28

This market is wrong or I am missing something, this has to be worst than 2008, so why is market acting as if all is ok

Ladeside, no, the difference is if you see '745 covid deaths today' you seem to think 745 have dies from covid. I think, where the f does that 745 number come from. How do they know if my 95 yo neighbour dies from covid. How do they know those poor people in care homes died? Was it old age, pneumonia due to flu, or due to covid, and who takes the time to find out? And what explains the massive lowering of flu deaths recently? Basically, you are prepared to believe 100% in what you are presented, and can't distinguish between covid deaths in hospital and covid deaths overall, and deaths just put down to covid because it's the most pragmatic way to get the job done. I am or used to be a scientist, and as such I am sceptical of data people put in front of me, especially when i know that data is impossible to know and is a best guess.

And please, not your usual resonse of 'so you're saying covid is a conspiracy are you'. I'm saying data in this situation is unreliable, maybe more maybe less maybe anything. And incredible actions needs incredible evidence.

Ask your oracle this - how many covid deaths are deaths due to covid and how many deaths of people from other underlying causes who just happened to catch covid before they died (which probably hastened their death).

One way or another there is no escaping the humongous debt the world is creating for this extended holiday from work . Either hyper inflation or repayments that we will carry for years to come. Or am I missing something?

[mitchy] 09/4/2020 09:12

Plus if all this money is to be repaid by year end then there will be little money for retail .

[ladeside] 09/4/2020 09:11

Pierre, the big difference between us is that you seem to see everything on a UK level and from a UK perspective, there's even some on here who think this is the EU in cahoots with China to screw Brexit !!

Seriously !!

When I talk about research, I'm talking about various English translated news sites from around not only Europe but the world. I read and research facts as much as I can as bare facts don't have an agenda, only those who present them in such a way to favour a specific outcome.

Ultimately I don't see the virus as some political conspiracy to bring in a new socialist world order. Don't get me wrong, I wish it was, however we all know that the people who end up paying the Economic cost of this will be the poorest and most vulnerable in society as they ALWAYS do........

[mitchy] 09/4/2020 09:09

So the BOE and the government are going to add car loan repayments to mortgage repayments, 80% wage furloughs, increased NHS expenditure etc during the lockdown period. On a temporary basis !To be repaid by year end. Seems like a plan so why am I becoming a tad nervous ? How does this not turn into Zimbabwe inflation when the BOE Stops bankrolling this magic solution....in about a month or two's time ?

[aljm] 09/4/2020 08:54

morning people.

Pierre i agree 100% no way are we gettig TRUE CV19 figures, someone was saying last night that worldwide, Flu deaths are way down , heart condition deaths are way down, why or how ? there is a video doing the rounds that an American Dr had a 7 page document that he had to follow , that he had to put all deaths down to CV19, plainly he was not happy to do so , as it is an offence to lie on a death certificate.

Why is Italy and probably a lot of other Countries reassessing all their CV19 cases that died ? Something is clearly wrong here,

[pierre oreilly] 09/4/2020 08:46

Ladeside, I'm so pleased you have the oracle of truth at your hand.The main question to be asked is how many of covid deaths are due to covid, and how many died with covid but of an underlying condition.The cost of all this (and tbc to people like smarty, costs are not simply financial costs) are unprecedented, including many extra deaths. I hope the benefits outweigh this costs, but my view is they come nowhere near, in fact orders of magnitude less. Just as redwood and others are suggesting. We are on an out of control train with no brakes at the top of a mountain in complete bamboozlement.

Gwen Tan 9 Apr 2020 8:07AMThis week Brussels/ECB will run a coach and horses through the Euro's consitutent democracies such as they are today. Whatever fudge is reached in the comming days, and one will be devised, the reality of debt union done at speed will destroy democracies and  light the fuse of unpredictable, damaging but ultimately liberating events leading to the inevitable split of the Euro and the EU.They can prevent the inevitable split by splitting the Euro in the near future in a semi controlled way with massive devalutions in the southern block. But Germany wont accept the losses or the rapid rise of the Northern Euro. It would destroy their mecantilist trade policy  and create a group of revitalised and competitative economies on their southern border. They know they have been the German's unwilling idiots depressing the Euro and supporting that countries exports to the world.So the bond markets/hedge funds are going to be the way the split will happen as the paralysed politicians and technocrats look on, hoping their gold plated pensions survive while their populations are freed from their oppressive rule.

Redwood asks valid questions, some answers would be nice



How many placed on a ventilator subsequently recover?

What trials have now been completed of existing drugs that might help?

How do doctors work out whether a death was the result of Covid 19 or some other condition the patient suffered from?

Which if any of the named drugs do show potential? Do they have to be administered from first discovering the presence of the virus?

[ladeside] 09/4/2020 08:11

Most of redwoods "questions" have already been answered and are in fact common knowledge to those willing to do a little research.

Treating the virusBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: APRIL 9, 2020I am not a doctor and am not about to propose how to treat this virus. I am however willing to give a day and a blog to inviting comments from those who are or those who think they understand the medical issues sufficiently to comment on what is happening. It would be useful if qualified contributors would mention their qualification.  The true  end of the crisis comes  by finding a cure or a vaccine or both. Nothing on this site is medical advice for any individual and anyone needing treatment should of course seek professional advice.Buying time by restricting the  spread of the virus is a very good strategy if we use that time to find a cure or vaccine. Clearly much resource is going into just that all round the world. Some argue  that there are already treatments and preventative measures that can help.Some say Chloroquine or Remdesivir could play a role. Others favour Ritonavir and lopinavir with or without interferon beta.  Some urge the case of azithromycin.  President Trump recently did more than send best wishes to Boris, by instructing two US companies to contact the PM's doctors to recommend treatments they think could help.Some say bigger doses of Vitamin C help build resistance and fight back against the virus.The official treatment seems to include doses of oxygen when impaired lung functions leave the patients with low oxygen levels in the blood, and the capacity to operate organs as well as the lungs in intensive care if fighting the disease causes too many strains on them. Questions it would be good to have answered includeHow many placed on a ventilator subsequently recover?What trials have now been completed of existing drugs that might help? How do doctors work out whether a death was the result of Covid 19 or some other condition the patient suffered from?Which if any of the named drugs do show potential? Do they have to be administered from first discovering the presence of the virus?

World Trade Organisation (WTO) warns of a 2020 slump of a third

buywell thinks 25%



Also interesting chart of this current Covid drop V 2008 financial crisis indicates very close chart shapes ( trading algorithms )

buywell is of the opinion following that pattern a market drop of another 20% is now imminent

IMO dyor
