I feel the need to punch the next person that tells me that this is a "buying opportunity."

I think that they are wrong if they are talking to me, personally. It's a buying opp for the 1% for sure. For me, not so much.

Dow’s plunge into a bear market from a recent high is fastest since Great Depression

This is the most progressive virus I've ever seen.  Rich people lose everything and poor got nothin' to lose!

There is also a stunningly bad piece on a local news-radio website about how eating healthy foods can protect you against coronavirus.  I'm not even sure how these people are allowed to continue spreading harmful misinformation.

the doc states that coronavirus is so virulent, the air one exhales contains the virus when one is at their peak viral load - which is unfortunately before they show any symptoms).  so before you get a fever, you're a walking atomizer leaving a virus-cloud everywhere you go.  this is going to get worse before it gets better.

Coronavirus: many infections spread by people yet to show symptoms – scientists
Findings mean that isolating people once they start to feel ill is less effective than hoped

Yes based on what is going on that has to be the case…I really think in the US we should shut it down for a month…self quarantine everyone almost immediately

Will the warming weather help?

Either way we need a massive quarantine


It is obvious it spreads really easily and is very deadly


We should be trying to get ahead of it…setting up automated food delivery systems, having the government pay for food, suspending stock markets and all flights etc

Note: just spitballing

And I just got back from hospital taking kid to therapy

All that sort of stuff should be canceled

I cancelled next three weeks
