    P.S. The U.K. health service estimates they have 5,000 to 10,000 cases... they are experiencing issues getting everyone tested.

    Around 1:00 the FED announced a 500B liquidity injection (aka Repo) volume spiked and the downward trend reversed. Didn't last long as the selling resumes and those that bought the news got their faces ripped off.

    The stock market has been over priced for a decade or longer. However, I have forgotten how money was invested before the stock market became popular.

    It’s hard to believe that a busy doctor takes time out of his schedule (and family life) to post this stuff, and yet, it gets ignored.

    If you think this is “hyped by the media”, you should read this. It’s free analysis, from a Doctor, with no co-pay or insurance required.

    1. Primary lung, ground zero - in 3 phases.

    First phase: Viral reproduction within the 2 classes of lungs cells. mostly killing mucous clearing ciliary ells and t hen flooding the airway with debris and fluids.

    Next phase: immune system activates, but dysregulated, killing healthy lung tissue, now clogging up the airways with even more debris.

    Third phase: lung damage builds, punched out lesions like a honeycomb occur likely secondary to your own immune system's hyperactive response. These will scar and cause lasting lung defects even if you survive.

    2. GI tract - covid19 can enter the GI tract, causing GI sx and allow for fecal route spread.

    3. Blood borne - invades the blood stream, causing cell lines to diminish. Look for decreased white count, decreased platelets. Causes a cytokine storm, a final bid for the body to send immune cells to fight off the ifnected tissue, killing the infected tissue.

    Covid19 causes a hyperresponse from your body, instead of bringing a gun to a gun fight, the body brings it bazookas. Destroying the virus WHILE causing some significant healthy tissue destruction.

    In addition to cytokine storm, the body has diminished o2 carrying capacity/pumping, thereby causing multiorgan failure.

    You might not die, you might survive... but don't be surprised if you're not the same as you were before.

    Unless you are of the top 20% that own 84% of the market all you get is, left holding the bag.

    I wonder if school is going to be canceled this year. It seems many are being closed until the end of March, but the virus is just taking off. By the end of March there will be at least twice as many cases as now.

    Funny how you had to edit your original post so that it made it appear you meant something different. Face it Sally, I'm smarter than you.....😛

    Well, well, well, it appears I struck gold after a trip to two Walmarts, a Hy-Vee, Costco, with no luck finding toilet paper (we actually needed some) I found 1 6 pack of double Charmin last one says 6 rolls = 24 rolls not sure how unless I limit it to 1 square per s..t🤣 I found it at the hippie health food store of all places they had 2 12 packs of some organic unbleached toilet paper at $ 13.99 a pop which I figured the money is on the 6 rolls that equals 24 rolls of Charmin.

    I figured since it is unbleached it might add some extra protection in the nether regions. The rest of this stash is stuff I found that might come in handy from each of the other stores. I cant wait to bust into the spam but will hold off until it's necessary. The wife was surprised I splurged for the Charmin, I was quick to tell her dont get used to it once this scare passes it's back to the Great Value single ply TP. The freezer is full of Venison a couple of Turkeys and lots of Crappie and Walleye filets, plus we got a huge bag of rice we got from Costco a while back that were still working on. As far as I'm Concerned the Gudnoyez"s are Riding The Storm Out good luck to you all.
