If we don't test, how do we know how many cases are in the U.S.?



Can't have an outbreak if you don't test for the virus! *taps heads*

What is the uptick in Flu this year has just been Covid-19 and they haven't been telling us?
There was a strain of the flu which hit hard earlier than normal.

The second strain appeared around the beginning of the year, well before the China virus was anything but a local problem.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

If it is on Twitter, it must be true. That is the rule for this thread.

The Reuters news agency is reporting that the four Chinese provinces Yunnan, Guangdong, Shanxi and Guizhou on Monday lowered their coronavirus emergency response measures.



If the Chinese government were acting like dooms day was approaching, they aren't anymore. This appears to be finally getting under control.

That would be good news, because if corona was widespread here a lot more people would be dying

Read about the cult group that is contributing to a lot of South Korea's issues. Apparently "church members" were texting each other telling each other not to talk to the government. Apparently the government cannot find a lot of those people.

Unbelievable.

Dow futures down 400. Maybe the market is finally going to stop shrugging this off.

And it all happened because one dumb ***** decided to go to church when sick.

The truth is, if people who are sick would just stay home (and not just with this virus, but any virus especially the flu) then there would be far fewer infections and deaths every single year.

What the media isn't telling you is that this church is a death cult and has been intentionally spreading the disease around the world for weeks. It sounds like a plot out of 12 Monkeys but it's actually true. The members purposely got the disease from Wuhan and then spread it around the world.



They had a branch in Wuhan that has since been scrubbed off the website.

From CDC:

Total of 414 tested. First test was prior to Jan. 20, over 31 days ago.

Satisfied?

Nah. Bernie Nevada isn't blipping anything.

More importantly instead of trying analyze the virus.....analyze central banks reaction to the situation.

China, Russia, Brazil, Mexico, Turkey, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines have cut interest rates, while many others are announcing fiscal stimuli to cushion the expected softening in demand from the Coronavirus outbreak.

Virus-hit China set to postpone parliament for first time in decades

Selected snippits
Quote:

China is expected to decide Monday whether to postpone its annual parliament session for the first time since the Cultural Revolution as the country battles the coronavirus outbreak.

Many top officials who would normally attend the meeting are consumed with tackling the virus in their home regions.

And Beijing has imposed quarantine measures on those arriving from other parts of China, a practical challenge for a gathering of nearly 3,000 delegates.

Then there are the bad optics of China's leaders arriving in face masks for a meeting that is highly stage-managed to present the image of a Communist Party in perfect control of the country.

"How could they present the mandatory NPC upbeat accounts of the progress and positive prognosis of the economy and other achievements in the midst of such uncertainty as they're facing now?"

South Korea's planning to test 46K people in the next two weeks, but we're supposed to believe the CDC has been incapable of testing 20 over the last two weeks.

Interesting video "report" - State run propoganda with interesting statistics.

Daily production of medical equipment has ramped up:
- Protective Suits up from 8700 Jan 28 daily to 62,000 feb 22
- N95 medical masks 45,000 daily Feb 2 up to 250k daily Feb 22

Its indicative that the fire is no where close to out in Wuhan give that China still plans to stand up 19 more temporary hospitals compared to the 16 already in operation.

Bernie absolutely is playing a part in the futures tanking right now. To think otherwise Is completely ignoring how spooked Wall St. is at just the thought of a socialist on the ballot in November.

Nah. Trump Wall Street probability meter just went up with Bernie win.

400 point drop on the PRICE weighted Dow Jones 30 stock industrial average is hardly tanking.

Ba makes up 7%ish of Dow
Aapl 7%ish
United health 7% ish
Homedepot 6
Goldman Sachs 5.5
VISA 5
Microsoft 4ish
Mmm 4ish
Utx 3.5ish

Definitely propaganda, there's no way they were sitting on that type of capacity unless they're including imports as production maybe. Or they're slapping together something that's bad enough quality to make Harbor Freight blush.

Regarding Singapore, it is hot and humid here year round as we're 1 degree above the equator. Lee Kuan Yiew, the "founder" of Singapore, attributed the country's success (partially) to the invention of air conditioning.
Houston says 'hi'


Singapore is next level humid 24/7/365 compared to Houston, and I have lived both places.

Not enough gold bond in the world to get me to live in Singapore. Gorgeous place, neat to visit, three days max at a time.
