Princess just suspended all sailings for next two months.
if you smoke, it has a big impact on you. TIME TO QUIT. Aggiedoc posted about it on the M&W board. I will try to link his facebook page.BREwmaster said:
Realize that the "war zone" that is north Italy -- they have a large elderly population. A very high percentage of the deaths there are elderly. This is not a plague of a virus. 99.5% or more have survived it and beaten it. This is a pneumonia like flu. Many that got it in China never went to a hospital or even reported it (thus skewing the WHO's numbers into making it look like a 3% death rate). It is far from that. I can pull up a recent prelim study or 2 to back that up if you like.
As Irish has said, this started in a poor part of China, where many were already immuno compromised or unwell from air pollution and other environmental factors.
You're right on surfaces, from what I've read, but keep in mind it does not like heat or humidity. I guess just don't order anything on Prime from AMZN

Why is the coronavirus so much different than the swine flu? The swine flu infected 60 million people and 12,000 died in the U.S.
We didn't have a vaccine for the swine flu then and the whole world didn't freak out to this extent.
This evening I spoke with my roommate from A&M who has five or six medical degrees - he's dead set "this is the big one."

Just know that buying into long markets looks ugly and messy. Your balances will go down naturally but the eventual recovery on these key names with plenty of $$$ will be glorious.
After 2008 my balance was down 28% but then up 31% just on the initial recovery.
Oh heck no! My Puts only protect from larger losses. It will be painful but this is getting to the time when you're either investing or in the wrong game.Harkrider 93 said:

So many majors on sale. KO is on sale, AAPL is about to be on sale, AMZN is almost on sale, BA is close to being on sale. It's just nuts.
If you had open orders you may cancel them, adjust them or leave them. They will execute if not touched and price hit.YouBet said:
So, I had a order scheduled to execute on the open. That didn't happen. I assume it sits open until trading resumes and then it will automatically execute?
Unchartered waters here for me.
Did they just cut away from him talking or what?thirdcoast said:

We are locked, this feels different than monday. I doubt hard rebound.
Though I really do have a doctor friend saying it's not that bad, you hit the nail of my post on the head.NRD09 said:GreasenUSA said:Interesting.

Okay but when was the least time either of these friends stayed at a holiday inn Express?
