A can you imagine post.

What if this goes wuhan level in Mexico. The first thing they are going to do is run for the border, and I'm not talking taco bell. Consider tens or hundreds of thousands attempting to storm the border for access to medical care or to escape the proliferation.

I just heard on the radio that a tour bus lady caught this TWICE! How scary is that? You can catch this multiple times. Unlike most of these things that you only catch once. How’s a vaccination gonna fight that?
I heard. That you can catch it twice also, and that in china is pretty much 100 percent fatal. Because of the medicine they are use to treat the disease is hard on the heart and going thru the treatment twice leads to heart failure. Not being able to build immunity to it is definatly a man-made bio weapon aspect.

Do you have a source for this as I haven't seen anything like that.

Im using this as a buying opportunity in the Stock Market..... Hell of a lot of 52 week lows.....

I like your thinking. The hard part is knowing which day to put your money to work. Will there be lower lows tomorrow and the next day? Is this the start of the decline? Or just a blip in the radar and a buying opportunity? If I had these answers I guess I wouldn't be a lawn mower jockey. lol

I think it'll follow the spread. As we see the virus pop up in new areas the market will go considerably lower. Then it'll hold a steady low while the pandemic runs it's the course and probably will not start to recover until news of recovery or a reduction in cases is reported. I don't think we'll see large corrections on this and it'll follow a similar curve that the virus does.

I'd have to go back through emails of financial newsletters I read. As memory serves, their charts all showed a dip and pretty well full recovery in a short amount of time. I'm with you. I'm not buying tomorrow. I might put some money in in the near future though. Pretty near impossible to time the exact top or bottom of any market or swing in the markets. Iowa Buckeye and AHoldren have good ideas though. Wait and buy when things go on sale.

What I find interesting is the CDC's insistence around healthy people not wearing masks. Every chance they get they're throwing out how it doesn't protect you and a bunch of other information in an effort to prevent people from stocking up. Yet one of the few manufacturers of masks in the US reported yesterday that he is getting calls from hospitals who for years wouldn't give him the time of day. The reality is anything is better than nothing. If medical staff run out of their fancy high protection masks they will resort to using standard surgical masks, If they run out of surgical masks I guarantee they'll wrap their dirty underwear around their face before they go without a face covering.

It's sort of perturbing really because it's a deliberate spread of misinformation in an effort to maintain dwindling supplies for medical use. I get it, I understand, we need to make sure that we're adequately supporting our caregivers, where I draw the line is misleading the at-risk population to accomplish that.. The reality is ANYTHING covering your face and nose WILL protect you better than nothing at all.
