    Oil prices are even scarier than the virus. The at the same time barrel war between Russia and the Saudis could put a real hurt on the US oil patch.

    I'm glad I rebalanced my entire portfolio at the start of the downward spiral... today was nuts.
    I am 50% bonds now, I feel about 30% of each market drop.
    This can't go on forever, this is painful.

    I can’t believe the numbers from China showing the infection rate is going down. That makes no sense. China has millions of people, and many live in cities. Until this virus spreads everywhere the infection rate isn’t going down.

    That'll give Polk time to get the L800's there. :#

    I went into town today to do my usual grocery shopping. Plenty of TP, PT and water in both stores. I like living in an area where people exhibit common sense.

    Wikipedia states that it didn’t.

    Not saying that they are in this instance, incorrect, just that articles that can be community edited can still hold misinformation.

    Viruses can die out. SARS for instance.

    10x the admit rate of flu
    40x the icu admit rate
    Even if you don't die... there are many very painful ways of surviving.

    And this is in 2 months.

    I hope they are wrong.
    Otherwise, we are in for a shocker.

    So where do the Flu patients go?

    The same place the new virus patients are going to go?

    That's like 2 high tides at once huh?
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    I have recently heard the FLU season is about over due to warmer weather arriving.

    I've also heard the new virus will be hampered by warmer weather too.

    I hope so.

    @Tony M

    Yes, that's my hope as well.
    Late spring and summer is when these coronoviruses die out... I hope all those little guys burn.

    Crossing my fingers man.

    It's going to be a losing battle for all docs otherwise.

    Joey, even if those numbers are off by 50% we are in a world of trouble.

    I am hoping for the best.

    I think those numbers are probably the highest/worst possible.

    I think the truth will be less. I hope much less.
    Someone look it up, I don't think Italy is doubling every 7 days....

    You're a doctor. You'd have the readiest, most accurate info of all of us.

    Why don't you look it up and tell us?

    I'm not an epidemiologist. My data is not any more accurate than of y'alls. I just have better first hand experience and can interpret it better.

    Fine... because apparently I'm the only one who can look at data...

    Here is Italy.

    And yes, dang it, it looks logarithmic.
