limited... small... more casual... fostering heard immunity is their ambition..apparently. Subject to change with little notice.
From an exchange with a Trump supporter on another forum: 3/13 - People will start spending again when the media finds it's next crisis to bloviate about. Today is Friday the 13th. I predict this will be but a memory by the first week in April. 3/13 - In three weeks I believe they'll move on to something else and it will soon be forgotten. 3/14 - If you think the markets are reacting to [Trump's confusing press conference] you're just being silly. What they're reacting to is the hyped up media coverage that has everyone running for cover. 3/14 - Bottom line for me is I've seen this before...it's 2009 all over again. 3/14 - Any of this sound familiar? This [H1N1] was the last time this type of thing got blown out of proportion. 3/14 - When this covid-19 scare has crashed the world's economies and you've nothing to haul in your truck I hope you can eat your values. 3/15 - This is far bigger than H1N1 and I have my RN wife to help. Yesterday on my way home i started to feel strange...headachey. Nothing like actually getting sick to make even a Trump supporter decide that perhaps it should be taken seriously.
I am actually attempting to avoid getting into Trumpitics at the moment. Mainly because we have a similar version here at home minus the lack of morality and cowardice that Trump displays. oops! Damn hard to avoid.. but also because it invariably leads to the last few words of this post. Problem is much the same with climate change issue. Take it seriously and you are scaring people and are an alarmist. Not take it seriously and you are a denialist who is afraid of the alarmist propaganda... Can't win either way. But as you so rightly stated, this all changes when they finally need to deal with the lack of sound leadership and have to pay a high price for the incompetence they decided to elect. The biggest problem though is that all those level headed so called alarmists have to suffer because of it and all they can do is say: "I told you so".

Italy many patients died on the hospital corridor, not getting chance for treatment, when patient panic, they die easier. is that true?
https://www.yahoo.com/news/president-trump-tried-poach-german-142600445.html <<< Except capitalism doesn't have limits. That's just some bullshit it's ruthlessly dishonest apologists spew. Capitalism is an abomination. One upside of Covid 19 is that Americans have demonstrated that they are actually capable of taking slightly unusual and somewhat drastic measures when necessary. Perhaps they'll someday acknowledge that this so-called "political party," with an army of at least 60 million, poses a genuine existential threat and that similarly drastic measures might be called for in dealing with such. Edit: Better still, perhaps the rest of the planet will acknowledge... Nah. I probably oughn't go there.
ASX has taken another dive and closed 9.5 points down. Almost the biggest fall on record. ( $165 billion wiped.) https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-03...alian-market-slump-to-start-new-week/12058904 Wall Street opens in about 7 hours I think...
It is not thought that it could, no, due to the chemicals used to keep the water fairly bug-free. But in the UK we’re being reminded to shower before you get in, and after you get out.
FTSE currently 6-7% lower, and I would expect the Dow to wipe off all the recoveries made on Friday, possibly with a bit more taken off as well. A c.10% drop would keep it in its general trend relative to other indices. But if the others rally at all between now and opening, who knows.
And as if by magic... the Dow is currently c.12% lower today. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Are there any proven approaches to tackling the disease in people via strengthening their immune system?
