      I hope this all blows over...But it seems to get worse/spread every day. No big deal if it's just like the flu. But if you see government reactions it's anything but the common flu...That's for dang sure.
      I vacillate back and forth on this. One minute I think this is just a big scare and no big deal. Then I look at how world governments are responding and wonder “hmm what do they know that they aren’t telling us?”

      Wuhan is a polluted crap hole with minimal medical care in the modern sense. I expect high infection and mortality rates. Italy’s financial sector isn’t any of those things. It makes pause wondering how bad this is going to get

        But of course, like 100% of the time, financial advisors swear one can never time a top... That and I was suckered by DOW,SPY hitting new highs day after day after day right in the face of this virus.

        Oh well. I have plenty to buy lots in a week or two... For now I'll have to fend off my advisor who will be calling any minute with the "stocks are on sale" pitch and can't time a bottom speech LOL The bottom will be obvious IMO with a drastic flash drop..capitulation

        This is IF this virus trend continues to worsen.. which I can't see it getting better. No way to stop the spread now.
        I'm already a little stock-heavy for my age, or I'd be more interested in cherry picking a few equities in the near future. Market fundamentals are still good, for the most part. I can't see this crash lasting for many months unless the virus proves far more deadly than to date. But hey...I'm no doctor or Wall Street guru.

          If a nation releases a biochemical that kills thousands of it own and then begins killing thousands of other people all across the world....what should be the consequences for their actions?

            I read novel several years ago along this subject. May have been a Tom Clancy.

            Basically a terrorist state develops a bio weapon, then makes the travel arrangements, student visas etc for dozens of "agents". Knowing the incubation rate of their new virus, they send off the now voluntarily infected hosts to several different high population states in the US and UK to attend large events and venues in order to contaminate as many people as possible. It was the "nightmare scenario" considering the exponential spread from airborne re contamination and spreading.

            100's of thousands killed, millions dying before they even knew what was going on

              Not sure how much has changed...but I recall our policy during the Gulf War was basically retaliation against an enemy using chem or bio against the US would be "absolutely overwhelming and devastating."

                  Might have been... seems there was even a chapter where they had released in into the HV/AC systems at a large movie theater.

                    The Jack Ryan story was, terrorist held doctors with out borders hostage and infected them with a virus. One of the hostages was friends with the President. The hostages were rescued and brought back to American. The terrorist also plotted to release the virus into the HVAC system in a hospital.

                      And to think, all the idiots on stage tonight for the Dumbocrats debat want open borders.
                      This Coronavirus could easily be spread through illegal entries on our southern border.

                        And a high likelihood it already has crossed our Southern border... When I hunted along the border, the BP caught a LOT of Chinese that paid high dollar amounts to the mesican Coyote's to get across and inland... the coyote's loved the Chinese because they all carried lots of cash and were easy marks...

                          Any chance tin foil can be used as a protector from this cornhole virus?

                              The thing about the flu is it’s un-contained and world wide. Right now the coronavirus is half arsed isolated. With a death rate of 2% which is much higher that of the flu.

                                Officials at the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention say spread of the coronavirus in the U.S. is not a question of "if," but "when."

                                Dr. Nancy Messonnier, the CDC's director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases said the virus, called COVID-19, is "rapidly evolving and spreading" and that "successful containment at U.S. borders is becoming problematic."

                                Community spread of the virus, which began its spread in China, have been reported in Hong Kong, Iran, Italy, Japan, Singapore, Korea, Taiwan and Thailand, Messonnier said in a Tuesday press conference. The behavior of the virus spread outside of China has raised concern in the U.S.

                                There is currently no vaccine to prevent the virus nor medication to treat it, but Messonnier said individuals and local communities should prepare for the possibility of an outbreak by implementing methods of "non-pharmaceutical intervention," or NPIs. She warned U.S citizens and local communities to prepare for "disruption to everyday life" in the case of a pandemic.

                                "We are asking the American public to work with us to prepare for the expectation that this is going to be bad," she said. Messonnier recounted a conversation she had with her children over breakfast, in which she discussed how her family would prepare for an outbreak. She said she called her local school superintendent with questions about schools' plans for dismissals, closures and teleschool.

                                Messonnier encouraged parents to do the same and prepare for how to handle childcare services if schools begin to close. She also recommended schools divide students into smaller groups or provide teleschooling services.

                                Other businesses can also prepare for an escalated outbreak of the coronavirus by replacing in-person meetings with teleconferences and increasing teleworking options, Messonnier said. Employees should also contact their supervisors for more information on those policies.
