Pips starting to squeak - holding now less than 50% of Jan. value. 75p by Christmas?

[pierre oreilly] 19/3/2020 12:04

OK.

Not sure why, but still.

So if you have an accident whilst partying Pierre, get to the back of the queue.

DavePosted March 19, 2020 at 7:20 am | PermalinkIncredible that we have allowed an extremely mild strain of a flu like illness to paralyse the world. In the six months since this virus appeared about 9000 have allegedly died from it. In the same time a total of 1,437.300 people have died from all communicable diseases. So for every 160 deaths in that period only one was from this particular disease. 30 to 72 times as many die from flu every year. Are we really this stupid?

[pierre oreilly] 19/3/2020 11:53

Yeah, great info. The old are more at risk, the young less at risk, and age doesn't come into it. Thanks.

[gaffer73] 19/3/2020 11:50

Sorry to hear that Chav, hope they get well soon.

CtRI agree. The virus is fight back.. like a boxer who is down, you start counting and ....next round is on.

Don't catch falling knives, no one ever gets the bottom right through judgement , we are living in very uncertain times and markets hate uncertainty. My approach is to wait until we have a proven curve reduction and then start to assess global financial markets and economies

[k38] 19/3/2020 11:40

You are welcome.

[toon1966] 19/3/2020 11:33

Thanks for the ‘reality check’ K38, we need more experts like you...

[crossing_the_rubicon] 19/3/2020 11:29

@Maxk,

Not soon enough imo.

[k38] 19/3/2020 11:29

And phone tracking is officially here to stay.We are experiencing les and less freedom and more government control of our lifes.

China report no new cases apart from new arrivals . And there's the rub. How do China stop getting infected all over again other than by continuing lock down ?"

How do you know they have no new cases?
We are reliant on what a Communist regime is telling us - which is lie upon lie.

They lied about the death numbers. They lied about the number of infections.

And the rest of the world was complacent as a result.

[k38] 19/3/2020 11:22

Reality check The government all over the world give the impression to all of us only over 50s are at risk..The reality is, youths are at risk too. It's true, the virus effects faster older ages and the vulnerable, but..People must realise, age make no difference!

[patientcapital] 19/3/2020 11:13

If a half depression (-5%GDP) comes to pass what effect on earnings? Talk of that here and in Germany. No doubt elsewhere as well.

[maxk] 19/3/2020 11:12

That wasnt the angle Alp.

I used to live there in shared accommodation back in the day.

All young single adults, which was great. Most of them wimmin.

However, no one kept food or anything else in quantity. Buy as you need on a daily basis. Fine as long as the supplies are there for the taking.

Not now, empty shelves, shortages. What are young people to do?

[alphorn] 19/3/2020 11:06

I presume that you would hope not as London pays quite a few bills.

[maxk] 19/3/2020 10:57

re: Lockdown


How long before the wheels come off in Londonistan?

[pierre oreilly] 19/3/2020 10:54

I expect with a virus attacking the lungs, those who smoke are much more at risk. And the frogs smoke a lot. That could be a difference there.

[hhhold2] 19/3/2020 10:52

Far to early to catch this falling knife, only a rest bite to what's coming.

[alphorn] 19/3/2020 10:46

Not only old people - French hospitals are now caring for 3,626 patients with Covid-19 in total; including 931 in intensive care, of which half are people aged under 60.
