Asian Coronavirus Outbreak

Food shortages in China, factories closed, shipping reduced/stopped, rising food prices, dry baltic index hits lowest ever, impacts on Western manufacturing already being felt, not looking good for Q1 results.

Circular motion with the right hand.

Fundamentals lag Price by 1.2 - 1.8 years usually 1.618 years, the golden ratio.

Kapiche? This is basic-basic.

Lol. Horse before cart. Price lags fundamentals.

Apply logic n re-appraise...
 
Not quite a pandemic yet (says WHO) but one notes:


NVP said "Interesting that gold hasn’t gone ballistic......yet... "

It has now :LOL:

Stock Markets saw their biggest fall in 4 years (Milan's plunged nearly 6%) and
Gold surged to 7 year highs, soaring 2% today alone.

Who were those companies making face masks again ???

;)

Alternatively, muse that;

It will soon be inadvisable to break out coughing in aisles at peak shopping hour in local hypermarket (which will likely clear the place faster than screaming 'Fire') and trigger armed emergency response teams in hasmat suits to your aid.

Corona-panic enters hysterical phase.

Italy has the military enforcing 'red-zones' quarantine areas.

Canary Wharf shuts and evacuates Westferry Offices for fear of exposure to virus.

The Dow Jones fell more than 3% overnight.

Iran's cyber-thought-police force has arrested dozens of bloggers for 'spreading rumours'

Samsung donates $19 million to relief efforts as 1 employee at phone factory complex in Gumi, South Korea tests positive.

Even the Boring Broadcasting Company now has a Corona-outbreak live feed.

And Virgin Galactic is selling a new wave of tickets so the infection can be launched into space :)

While Luftwaffenkaserne Wahn air base in Cologne is in a lockdown after a service member came into contact with a patient suspected of having coronavirus.


& So the madness continues.

I think this is the best update source on Corona virus developments for those interested. (y)
Really - CNN the 'best source' come on, this is fear monger central.

The best source is the WHO and they provide daily updates.
You can see the mortality rate for China is around 3.5% of those infected and the Rest Of The World which is under 1.5%.
Not only that, you can see a classic histogram curve from China which shows this flu virus is almost over.
The 'season' for flu viruses is coming to an end, and the warmer weather will further reduce deaths in the rest of the world.
BTFD !

And you think Chinese stats are believable!?

Apparently eating lots of garlic can ward off the virus.

Prancing naked to broadway tunes while waving a feather boa and sunflowers and speaking in tongues also wards off virus.

:D

(notes the protective effect may be due to this behavior resulting in complete isolation from contact with anybody for an extended period, rather than the act itself)

:unsure:
 
More interestingly, Brent Crude Oil price continues to nosedive.

Currently plunging towards the $52 dollars mark.

:unsure:
 
& the latest burst of insanity:

Anyone with a beard is now probably infected :ROFLMAO:

In the UK, the NHS has sent a panic email to all it's staff asking them to shave their beards.

This based on an infographic published by America's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in a 2017, showing different sorts of beards and whether they are compatible with respirators.

We live in a Twitter age where any amount of twits can spread the lunacy worldwide faster than light.

:)
 
Very true, MoC. I see there’s now 15 infected in UK. Wow!

It’s only flu for Goodness sake, maybe a touch more nasty than other kinds of flu but not more lethal. Anybody’d think the plague was amongst us.

Well today is the 27th and last update they have is the 26th.

84% will only get mild symptoms
15% will get major
6% very serious
2%+ will give up the ghost

I wouldn't be too alarmed unless one has underlying illness or low immunity or is a smoker.


Also, CNBC has nice pictures to look at. :love:
 
Its not the individual direct affect that we need to be worried about, but the unintended consequences, no transport, curfew enforced by military, no food on the shelves, starving food rioters, widespread looting eventually decending into anarchy.

If it's only flu, then why are govts taking drastic action to try and stop its spread? Oh hang on UKGov is almost doing f*ck all, now you're not going to tell me UKGov is taking the common sense approach for a change?
 
Eat some kimchi, drink some ginseng, blow your nose, and get on with it.

this Corona flu is nothing
