Good buying opportunity. It may correct, but it will eventually recover. Many other fundamentals are pretty sound.

---

You might want to factor President Sanders into your equation about when the stock market will recover.

The democratic presidential chances went up significantly this week. And wait till people start dying and the Dems and MSM blame it all on Trump. Vote for Bernie in Operation Chaos only if you are willing to play Russian roulette.

---

From what percentage to what percentage?

I'd gladly bet that Trump still wins. All day.

---

Will you stay with that bet if we start seeing massive layoffs in the oil and gas sector?

---

Let's assume that massive layoffs do happen in O&G, do you think a person that gets laid off really thinks Bernie or the bunch is going to give them a new job? Or are you saying they think that welfare/redistribution will be better than putting Trump back in the WH?

---

I think Biden is the nominee, and if it's Biden vs Trump going into a recession Biden wins 9 times out of 10. It's the economy that makes Trump popular with swing voters.

Yeah, democrats don't want to turn this political. It's about the people...while #TrumpVirus is trending on twitter now.

---

Anyone trying to attribute this to Trump (or any political origin) is a jackass. Those dip****s are just throwing everything they can and praying something sticks before Election Day. Ridiculous.

Are we really blaming Trump about this dude is handling properly? Whats the point of freaking out nothing you can do about it.

What do you mean we can't do anything about it? That's not true.

First we need to fully fund the NIH and the CDC and give it back to the money POTUS cut.

We also need to put a ton of money in developing a vaccine against the Chrono 19. Contrary to the lies POTUS made, our scientists have stated that it will probably take 12 to 18 months to develop a solid vaccine against Chrono 19 not two months like our POTUS falsely claimed. If this ******* subsides when we get warm weather in our Northern Hemisphere which I hope, it could still return next winter in some form when we start having runny noses again.

We need to allocate money to start producing effective mask to try to prevent the spread of the virus more strongly educate people how to prevent contamination effectively washing their hands with soap and water including the wrists, thumbs, and in between their fingers.

Every organization such as schools and businesses need to have somebody or somebodies learn the proper way to wash hands and instruct other people how to do this and watch them actually do it. And they have them repeat the technique until they get it down pat. This is the single best way to prevent the spread.

If we could only get people to take enough antihistamine pills so that they did not have a runny nose we would not have these types of viruses.

Lot of wrong on this post Mr know-it-all. This Covid-19 is spread in 3 different ways mostly by fine droplets released from coughing, no runny nose required, and sneezing. Earlier reports have it living on surfaces for up to 9 days. Its rather hardy. Be prepared to wash those hands 50 times a day. And be prepared to hold your breath for up to 30 minutes, if you are in crowded conditions. You dont want to breath those itty bitty droplets.

Dems are experts on viruses, that is for sure.

See: the state of Dem cities.

Wait I thought they were a virus

I don't trust numbers from China, but I believe South Korea has been aggressive in monitoring this and are reporting accurate numbers.

South Korea reported its 13th death today. If we assume a 7 day delay between symptoms and death (as has been reported), the number of cases in SK 7 days ago is 51.

13/51 = 25% Case Fatality Rate

I hope this washes out as more trustworthy data comes in (maybe the delay between symptoms and death is shoorter), but that's not good.

Pandemic simulation game Plague Inc. pulled from iOS App Store in China

Plague Inc. maker Ndemic Creations says the game has been removed from sale on the iOS App Store in China because the relevant authorities say it "includes content that is illegal in China as determined by the Cyberspace Administration of China."

The popular gamewhich asks players to shepherd a virus' deadly spread around the worldhas been available on the Chinese App Store for years without issue. Ndemic says it's "not clear to us if this removal is linked to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak that China is facing," but it certainly seems like the most likely proximate cause.

"This situation is completely out of our control," Ndemic writes. "We are working very hard to try and find a way to get the game back in the hands of Chinese playerswe don't want to give up on youhowever, as a tiny independent games studio in the UK, the odds are stacked against us. Our immediate priority is to try and make contact with the Cyberspace Administration of China to understand their concerns and work with them to find a resolution."

That's a good game. It's amusing to watch the headlines. Like a festival of love going on in one of the infected countries.

I can imagine one of the headlines might be "Pope shakes hands of thousands of people, later appears ill". Just not something you do when this virus is going around.

Sneezing and a Running nose are not really reported as symptoms of this virus. Sorry

Interesting graphical representation of this pandemic versus others from history.

You sir are an idiot. Next time you went to lecture people on a topic, you might want to educate yourself first.

May not have anything to report.

And unlike some countries, Russia will not hesitate to go full Soviet on people to keep it contained.

Hawaii is urging residents to prepare for a potential breakout of Covid-19 amid new warnings earlier this week from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that the deadly virus quickly spreading across the world could cause a "significant disruption" to American life.

Although there are no confirmed virus cases in Hawaii (the state Health Department says 80 people are self-monitoring for the coronavirus in Hawaii after recent travel to China), the CDC's warning sparked a buying frenzy among residents this week as they emptied store shelves of food and supplies.

Twitter handle @zoeywoeyzoey said, "Hawaii Sam's club is sold out of toilet paper hand sanitizer alcohol


Hawaii Foodbank told KHON that residents are panic buying non-perishable foods and medical masks. They said the same fear that is seen in Asia has now spread to Hawaii.

"If there's no inventory at the store, then there's very little for stores to donate to the Foodbank and also at home if you're stocking up and hoarding for your family, the last thing you're thinking about is making a donation. It impacts us in a very great way," said Hawaii Foodbank President Ron Mizutani.

Honolulu Star-Advertiser said retailers across the state are experiencing shortages of 3M N95 masks. We noted last month that masks were selling out across the US. Prices of the masks have doubled or tripled since mid-January. "

For what it's worth, Zoey might not be the best news source.....


I'm torn on wether or not riding this out in Hawaii and/or Alaska would be a good or bad thing.


Distance and isolation can be a blessing or a curse depending on how you look at it.

But great weather....

What's the deal with hand sanitizer?

You can clean your hands every time you touch a door knob, light switch, toilet handle

Medal of Freedom recipient Rush Limbaugh says the coronavirus is actually the common cold and a conspiracy to hurt Trump.

I'm not minimizing this at all, but growth in countries with modern medical systems starts off with a seemingly exponential bang that quickly flattens out in a linear fashion (Singapore, South Korea, Italy).

The panic is unfounded. This is a major health threat, but the prospect of mass disruption seems overblown.

Sounds like a good way to develop an autoimmune disease

washing yourself and sanitizing yourself too much can cause imbalances and autoimmune issues.
