I keep worrying at my young, tender age I haven't saved enough, but since I've lost nearly $20k in the last week, maybe I'm okay, since someone as....... experienced as yourself has lost less......  |

I advised a couple of friends a couple of weeks ago to get out of the stock market and buy gold and silver. Both are very happy right now. The question of when to get back into the market is one I could not advise to do at this point. Then again, I could have been a zillionaire had my foresight been as good as my hindsight. Rams |

What about the outside poor women and children seeking refuge? It's not right to put up barricades and not allow them in. sound familiar? It's ok to do it to stop a virus but not illegal immigration? |

Why this outbreak, why now, accident, maybe, Frank Plummer – Canadian Scientist Key To Coronavirus Investigation Assassinated In Africa? In a very strage turn of events, renowned scientist Frank Plummer who received Saudi SARS Coronavirus sample and was working on Coronavirus (HIV) vaccine in the Winnipeg based Canadian lab from where the virus was smuggled by Chinese Biowarfare agents and weaponized as revealed in GreatGameIndia investigation, has died in mysterious conditions. Frank Plummer was the key to the Chinese Biological Espionage case at Winnipeg’s National Microbiology Laboratory. What is not mentioned in the CBC report however is that Plummer worked in the same National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) in Winnipeg, Canada from where Chinese Biowarfare agent Xiangguo Qiu and her colleagues smuggled SARS Coronavirus to China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology where it is believed to have been weaponized and leaked. https://greatgameindia.com/frank-plummer-canadian-lab-scientist-key-to-coronavirus-investigation-assassinated/Interesting that China's economy has taken a huge hit from this and in fact is still nowhere to be found. Its so bad that even the Iphone is expected to be hit with shortages. But as stated in the previous posts this doesn't seem to be as bad as they predicted. |

a lot of chatter in financial sites that the market drop is due to the chance bernie wins in nov and has nothing to do with the virus. the markets usually project 7-9 months out.

"The government of Iran has been particularly hard hit by the COVID-19 coronavirus, as there are now 23 cases of the illness among parliament members, or nearly 10% of Parliament. The legislative body has been told to stop their contact with public. Also sick are Vice President Masoumeh Ebtekar, and Iraj Harirchi, the head of an Iranian government task force on the coronavirus. And several high ranking Iranian leaders have died, including Expediency Council member Mohammad Mirmohammadi, 71, a close confidant to the supreme leader, and Hadi Khosroshahi, 82, Iran’s former ambassador to the Vatican."

Formidable. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/03/who-says-coronavirus-death-rate-is-3point4percent-globally-higher-than-previously-thought.html“Globally, about 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during a press briefing at the agency’s headquarters in Geneva. In comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1% of those infected, he said. |

This seems like a serious new twist. I don't ever recall a virus being able to last this long outside a living host. In an analysis of 22 studies on other human coronaviruses — such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), and endemic human coronaviruses (HCoV) — researchers found the viruses can “persist on inanimate surfaces like metal, glass or plastic for up to nine days.” More specifically, the viruses can remain infectious on such materials between “two hours up to nine days,” according to the paper published in The Journal of Hospital Infection So you don't just have to be concerned about infected people, but also things imported into the country (like from China)? (or Italian shock absorbers?) (or mail/package delivery?) https://www.foxnews.com/health/human-coronaviruses-live-surfaces-9-days-study |
