@GBH2

ACE2 protein right?

Well, it looks like the intervention of the Central Banks is doing nothing to quell the fear.

I'm just waiting on someone very high profile to become seriously ill or Die and then it really will be panic time as the threat will suddenly become real to many, especially those who mock.......

M - most of the posts here have become 'what not to do' etc.

Strange because some of the posters have good comments on other threads (eg Poika and even CtR who may have been Fangorn etc in previous guises - hence they are not filtered despite this thread)!

Positive news on the U.S trade deal.

Are you trying to be more sarcastic than me?

Pound slides as UK may exit trade talks with US.
The British pound traded lower against major currencies on Monday with sterling dropping to its lowest level against the euro since October 17 amid fresh trade uncertainty.
British International Trade Secretary Liz Truss warned that the United Kingdom may walk away from trade negotiations with the United States unless the talks result in the deal UK wants.

Meanwhile

Meanwhile, British health officials announced that 12 people were confirmed positive for coronavirus on Sunday, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 36.
United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson asserted that the infection represents a "significant challenge" for the country, claiming that the government and the NHS are determined to curb the spreading of COVID-19.

They are "determined"..naughty virus...

@Scruff,

Whatever happens the economic impact will be far worse than the virus itself I reckon..

Will take time for that to become apparent.

Plenty to ponder though.

Aren't you the poster who noticed "50p and the sells kick in"??..

So...with out giving away any secret trading strategy you may have...

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.

"scruff12 Mar '20 - 10:34 - 6900 of 6901
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.
