    I listened to it again, he mentioned these restrictions will also apply to cargo and trade as they get "approval".

    They better not do that.......include goods. The virus doesn't live very long on most surfaces or remain stable......has something to do with hydrogen bonds:

    https://www.marketwatch.com/story/deadly-viruses-are-no-match-for-plain-old-soap-heres-the-science-behind-it-2020-03-08

    "Now it is time to introduce a powerful supramolecular chemistry concept that effectively says: Similar molecules appear to interact more strongly with each other than dissimilar ones. Wood, fabric and skin interact fairly strongly with viruses.

    Contrast this with steel, porcelain and at least some plastics, such as Teflon. The surface structure also matters. The flatter the surface, the less the virus will “stick” to the surface. Rougher surfaces can actually pull the virus apart.

    So why are surfaces different? The virus is held together by a combination of hydrogen bonds (like those in water) and hydrophilic, or “fat-like,” interactions. The surface of fibers or wood, for instance, can form a lot of hydrogen bonds with the virus.

    In contrast, steel, porcelain or Teflon do not form much of a hydrogen bond with the virus. So the virus is not strongly bound to those surfaces and is quite stable.

    For how long does the virus stay active? It depends. The novel coronavirus is thought to stay active on favorable surfaces for hours, possibly a day. What makes the virus less stable? Moisture (“dissolves”), sunlight (UV light) and heat (molecular motions).

    The skin is an ideal surface for a virus. It is organic, of course, and the proteins and fatty acids in the dead cells on the surface interact with the virus through both hydrogen bonds and the “fat-like” hydrophilic interactions.

    So when you touch a steel surface with a virus particle on it, it will stick to your skin and, hence, get transferred on to your hands. But you are not (yet) infected. If you touch your face, though, the virus can get transferred."

    This is really starting to look like a bloodbath in the markets. The possibility of us testing the late 2018 lows doesn't seem to farfetched, which would be about another 10% drop from here.

    China is now sending supplies and providing technical assistance to Italy to get their epidemic leveled out. That includes sending experts, massive amounts of protective gear, and ventilators, and helps explain why the Italian government has finally locked down in a specific manner what they should have locked down a couple weeks ago.

    I find it interesting that ebola and malaria kill more people but those people tend to live in places that don't really affect the stock market. Mosquitos are one of if not the deadliest things on earth but no big deal, we still go outside, we don't hoard bug spray, sporting events still take place outside, we go camping, fishing, hunting, take dumps in the woods and fornicate outdoors and we get bit.

    Nahh. the coronavirus didn't do that. That was painfully obvious over 100 years ago. It's just nobody wanted to believe it, and some still don't.

    Tom

    I noticed TB was at the top of this list. Recently in Texas, a man came across the border, arrested for the obvious, but tested positive for TB. Not any TB, a different strain that all modern treatments failed to beat. Took a few months but finally got it under control.

    Is this not a good enough reason to have better security/controls at the borders ? TB has been making a comeback because of poor border security/controls....and according to this chart, is the no.1 killer. Nobody says a peep about it though.

    I'd imagine many are just pulling money to sit on the sidelines until a vaccine comes out. When that happens, it'll be blazing back up in no time. Even during the great depression, there's always a new beginning.

    ^^you must not have much at stake. A vaccine is at least a year away, as I understand.

    Anyway we are fast approaching March 2017 levels. Nearly 3 years of gains wiped out.
