Coronavirus

jope said:
last I had read there were no confirmed cases of children under 9, so that it something to keep an eye on for sure. Doesn’t necessarily mean they are immune, perhaps just experience more mild symptoms, therefore not prompting a dr visit/diagnosis.

Thats good to hear for my 3 year old.
Im most worried that i wont be able to go on my cruise that i booked for a few months from now.

Yeah, I’m starting to think this is much ado about nothing. I guess a huge part of the scare though is not knowing exactly how it can be transmitted and how long it incubates amongst other things.

Agreed. The scariest thing about the corona virus to me isnt what it does but what it might do. Its the unknown about it. If it keeps doing what its currently doing and then fades away when the cold and flu season fades away then its not a big deal. But we just dont know enough about it to predict what will happen.

Not too worried about any virus but I do think this will cause a global recession till the fall or longer. I manage some investments (not mine) and I took a total speculative buy in this israeli company working on a vaccine already: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/VXLLF?

I'm long precious metal equities and short the general market. And way more in Cash than normal anticipating lower prices in mining stocks. This same strategy did amazing well in 2008/2009.
 
New reports are popping up of patients now confirmed to have the virus. It seems the virus has been incubating during the past 1-2 weeks in the U.S., and now the symptoms are starting to appear.

It appears that there is a cluster of patients in the Seattle area.

The San Francisco Bay Area is reporting multiple confirmed cases.

Florida is reporting multiple cases.

Rhode Island reportedly has a confirmed case.

It also appears that the CDC testing process is clunky and sometimes requires multiple attempts--e.g., someone tests negative, gets released, then tests positive.

Is this a joke? Yeah, taking a sea cruise isn't a good idea rn.

Good thing it isn't right now. It's a few months from now.
If you think I'm going to just not go and miss out on all the fun and lose out on thousands of dollars then you are a fool.

I have friends that just got home from a cruise yesterday. (It's actually the same cruise I will be going on). They had a great time.

Besides, Trump told me this is a fake news hoax perpetrated by "The Dems."

Then there's this https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnn.com/travel/amp/cruise-safety-coronavirus/index.html

And finally, I'm personally just not that afraid of this virus.

30 million people are expected to go on cruises this year. Good idea or not, as of now it's happening and happening a lot.

As of this morning, 3 cases, all connected to a recent high school class trip to Italy. School in question closed for at least this week.

As of this morning, cases in 12 states...
 
Someone made a point the other day that this Corona freak out will likely save lives because the actual flu is far more common and kills way more people and this newfound common sense awareness of staying home when you're sick, hand sanitizer, washing hands, not touching everyone and everything will work wonders for the regular flu.
 
Some assholes raided the entire South Jordan Costco yesterday of all the bottled water (4800 cases) and most of the toilet paper. Preparing for the end times.

Not to mention virtually everyone dying are old and/or have some pre-existing medical conditions and you’re a model of health.
 
CNN is reporting 6 deaths in Washington state. Which is weird because didn’t Donald tell us just last week that everything was “under control?” This is some hoax. I hope Donald tells those families dealing with the death of their loved ones that this is all just a hoax.
 
Thrilled.. stop my man. Love your posts, but we gotta stop making a virus a political item. Yes this goes for Republicans and bernieites as well. Just stay healthy.

It’s absolutely a political item. This administration has reacted slowly and deceitfully in order to avoid market panic and hurt re-election. We need to keep the pressure on so this administration does everything it can to contain this virus. Even if that means being painfully honest.

misinforming and lying to the public doesn’t help. Nor does appointing anti science morons like pence in charge. Or muzzling scientists.

Just like sharpiegate, Trump’s lies can hurt people. Maybe this admin should stop politicizing hurricanes and viruses?

As much as I agree with most aspects of your post, I do think we are overreacting with the coronavirus given certain data that compares it to the flu.

My gut tells me, this **** will be much ado about nothing in a few more weeks, the stock market will soar (it went up 1,300 points today), Trump (and his followers) will claim his leadership as the reason, and he’ll win in November in a landslide.
