I know it's not fair, and I shouldn't, but I checked out at "A Chinese scientist has claimed 100% success..."

And it appears to be showing up in younger people in their 20's and 30's.

There were some reports out of DFW last night that a handful of young adults were in critical condition because of it.

They need to suspend the market until further notice. No good can come from leaving it open right now.

Speaking of the market a analyst on CNBC made a good point and we should actually hear from people who are recovered from the virus, so far all we hear (for most part) is about new cases, new deaths, food shortages and the spread of the disease, etc we should have some public announcement of some type

Someone like a Tom Hanks and his wife Rita who had the corona virus come and give a quick note to everyone and how they recovered , this would help calm things down a little bit imo

well.... our Prime Minister had an address to the nation today... thought for sure we were going to end up with a much more strict lock down or get a curfew at least... no such luck... just an update on the financial easing they are going to do through our central bank and getting the commercial banks to do....


on another note a friend shared this link with me..... kinda mind blowing how China really screwed the pooch with getting a handle on this damn virus... you'd think they would have really learnt something with the Bird and Swine flu outbreaks....

That might not be a bad play. Wal-Mart will likely be the last thing standing. Along with cockroaches...

harder, waaaaaaaaaaaaay harder. but they are safer loans for the bank. in my opinion we had been making a lot of loans we should not have but the argument was hey they are all paying so lets keep doing it. we didn't take any of the bail out money in 08-09 and probably have some of the highest ROI in the country.
