So far all we ever hear from WHO and Trump is advice, (which it's ok) and a lot of blah, blah, blah but nothing from experts about vaccine....Long way to go yet..

Strix (KETL) come out with positive results.

They make kettle controls. Yield 6.5% plus. Market dominant in world regulated controls and massive share in unregulated markets.

Small cost, repeat purchase item with very high volume sales.

Passes pretty much all the Buffett tests and is below intrinsic value which is about c150p on very conservative estimates.

Manufacturing and OEM partners in China which are almost backup to 100% capacity.

Just thought some of you might be interested whilst it is going for good value.

Sir patrick has said 20k would be a very good outcome not a maximum. It will be nearer 10x that i believe

[pierre oreilly] 18/3/2020 16:17

But minny, that makes both of us armchairs bb posters who go against the experts advice to keep shorting a free for all, and Ladeside will be along soon to complain about anyone who thinks for themselves.

China reports new progress in drug, therapies against Covid-19


Researchers working at the drug centre for Covid-19 cure at a company in Wuqing District, north China's Tianjin Municipality. China has completed the clinical research of Favipiravir, an antiviral drug that has shown good clinical efficacy against the Covid-19 (coronavirus) outbreak, according to an official on Tuesday (March 17). - Xinhua/ANN


BEIJING: China has completed the clinical research of Favipiravir, an antiviral

drug that has shown good clinical efficacy against the Covid-19 (coronavirus)

outbreak, according to an official on Tuesday (March 17).


Favipiravir, the influenza drug which was approved for clinical use in Japan in

2014, has shown no obvious adverse reactions in the clinical trial, said Zhang

Xinmin, director of the China National Center for Biotechnology Development under

the Ministry of Science and Technology, at a press conference.


More than 80 patients have participated in the clinical trial in The Third

People's Hospital of Shenzhen, south China's Guangdong Province, including 35

patients taking Favipiravir and 45 patients on a control group.

Results showed that patients receiving Favipiravir treatment turned negative for

the virus in a shorter time compared with patients in the control group.


A multi-centred randomised clinical study led by the Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan

University also suggested that the therapeutic effect of Favipiravir is much

better than that of the control group.

Favipiravir has been recommended to medical treatment teams and should be included

in the diagnosis and treatment plan for Covid-19 as soon as possible, Zhang said.

Ok, we've all lost 100k, 200k 300k - do you think someone hasn't gained the amount we've lost?

Panic suits some very well. If you have billions in stocks, and there's a possible panic, you can both sell lots and short lots and make a low risk few billion. Not everyone is trying to calm everything. Some will be subtly encouraging panic. And the uk gov are disinclined to stop shorting, which would make the instability much less.

Bottom line statistic. A few dozen dead out of 60 million population. Hardly a crisis. No mountains of dead. The Fear Mongers are on control. Death will get boring. At some point people will throw off their Depression. Maybe not tomorrow. But soon. Then there will be the Living, Loving and Partying. Doomsters, End of.

As I heard it, the UK government's CM adviser was looking at 20k extra deaths, hopefully, as a maximum, which is more or less double the usual extra flu deaths.
