Coronavirus ...

[Elberoth]

Ours have dropped back down to around $2 each. If you need...

There is a healthy supply on Aliexpress, but delivery is after April 15th. Same on Amazon.

I have around 40 3M masks and my whole family is staying home, so I'm all good.

But maybe other WBF members will be interested - provided UPS still works.

Can we just admit that, when it comes to this new pandemic, governments worldwide are guessing at the best course of action. More authoritarian ones power moves are expected, those more geared to personal liberty strong actions will have detractors. Politics aught not to be part of it but inevitable. Those promoting the-sky-is-falling mentality end up promoting fear and anxiety, others argue for a more reasoned response yet hard to know which is right if you know someone directly affected. And directly affected is all of us now with shut-downs in place.

For a time, our ways of moving in the world are vastly changed. But as always, this too will pass.

And, as always, live, love, laugh, enjoy good music, hug your wife (with hazmat suit!), pet your dog or cat. Do those things that give you comfort/joy.

If you're virus free, stop by for a glass of wine and some tunes! I promise to limit the crowd size!

Yes and no. I think countries who have been lucky enough to not yet feel the full impact of this disease would do well to look at what has happened in those places where the disease has swung through. Like you said, no magic bullet but still plenty of things to be getting on with.

True, but let’s all stop throwing feces in public, it’s contagious A privat thread could be the solution, and would give participants a place
to vent.

I should of course have written private message instead of private thread

It wouldn't because it would reopen after more information was available.

no, since you can't tell me when it would reopen

bonds have been rallying since Dec. Buffett has been warning about credit leverage for a year. Gold has rallied for six months. speculation gone rampant - see TLRY, BYND, TSLA, SPCE. options open interest was at ATH. this isn't all coronavirus.

its what happens when bull markets go bust.

 

[andromedaaudio]

IMO the market was overbought and looking for a reason for a correction

H1N1 is a strain of influenza virus which is a different virus from coronavirus. Both are respiratory and contagious. One has a relatively low mortality rate (H1N1) compared to the other.

Interesting. The US VP has just asked construction companies to donate their N95 respirators to the health services. There must be a huge shortfall.

The us market was on steroids pumped up by the fed.
You know how it goes with bodybuilders ,short term greatness.
