Paid out of PAST profits, not future.

Don't think I've seen a company cancel a declared dividend, only possible future ones?

Suicide deaths worldwide are 1.5% according to wiki, and the academic paper quoted.

We knw in the uk, suicides are the biggest cause of death to young men. Young women's suicides are rising in those infected with the greta virus. (sad but true).

I'd like to see gov estimates for the increase in suicides due to the depression and anxiety to come in the near future, from the enforced isolation and other measures now being taken.

Add a further dollop of feelings of hopelessness and depression onto young girls to add to their greta virus (where they, in rising numbers, really believe their only future is being warmed to death) and how many will top themselves? Let's see the gov estimates if they have any.

It is reported that the virus had pleaded "No! Stop!"

the beeb and the MSM and Europe are playing the long game.

in 2 years time when this is all over and the books are written about wicked Right wing governments creating panic and depriving people of civil liberties.

the world will go socialist.

The extra parliamentary plan all along ..revenge for Brexit and right wing policies..

The media caused the stock market crash no-one else.

They should stop shorts, these were a strong sell on investing.com so of course they are shorted plus computer generated trades kick in .

A proviso to 677 - the number of cases is far higher than those confirmed cases.

Interesting info on how the virus is being spied upon. From BBC.

"The genetic code is the blueprint for building a virus.

However, that blueprint subtly changes as the virus mutates.

Sequencing the coronavirus's genetic code from different patients allows researchers to build up a picture of how the virus is spreading.

For example, a group of patients with nearly identical coronaviruses infecting them may all be part of the same cluster.

The same techniques, used at a hospital in Cambridge, were able to identify the source of an outbreak of the superbug MRSA.

"Harnessing innovative genome technologies will help us tease apart the complex picture of coronavirus spread in the UK."

Most of the time the coronavirus mutations do not mean anything, but this is also a virus that has only just made the jump from animals to humans.

However, the virus may still be adapting as part of its shift to infecting people and interacting with human immune systems.

It is something scientists will want to keep an eye on as it could affect how the virus is treated in the future.

Viruses will accumulate mutations which allow them, for example, to evade immune responses.

There's lots of information about this for viruses like HIV, hepatitis C and influenza, said Prof Paul Klenerman, from the University of Oxford, who will be part of the project.

He added: "If there is variability in key parts of the virus, it would be incredibly important for vaccine design."

The project - called the Covid-19 Genomics UK Consortium - is a collaboration between the NHS, public health agencies and the Wellcome Sanger Institute universities.

Business Secretary Alok Sharma said: "This new consortium will bring together the UK's brightest and best scientists to build our understanding of this pandemic, tackle the disease and ultimately, save lives."

Samples from patients with confirmed cases of Covid-19 will be sent to a sequencing centres in Belfast, Birmingham, Cambridge, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Exeter, Glasgow, Liverpool, London, Norwich, Nottingham, Oxford and Sheffield."

We live in a nice town, however it is 'well known' that a great deal of the taxi drivers are into delivering drugs, also in the rough area they set off fireworks when they have a delivery!!

I do hope they suffer.

[maxk] 23/3/2020 08:10

We'll get to the booze later...

[patientcapital] 23/3/2020 08:09

That's a dry humour.

[maxk] 23/3/2020 08:09

It's not heart issues the coke heads will be worried about Ladeside...more like delivery.

[ladeside] 23/3/2020 08:07

I was expecting a bit of a market bounce this morning, shows what I know !!

[patientcapital] 23/3/2020 08:07

That must be a typo. You surely meant 20.

[ladeside] 23/3/2020 08:07

All the coke addicts will be worried i'd think and with good reason.

Weakened immune system, potential heart issues, London in particular could see some scary figures.....

As I said last week I cant help feeling the mm's will go for hitting the stops triggering auto sells some time this week which is making me hold off buying.
