Human beings in general are so stupid. Fukkin sheep. Acting like corona virus is a global catastrophe. Stocks that have nothign to do with it, like biotechs that are still in their phase 2/3 without any products, are getting buried... Ppl just dumb. Shit themselves and cause our whole economy to collapse. Garbage. There's like a 0.001% chance anyone gets corona virus. The media has scared everyone shitless now. Corona virus will guaranteed be back again next year, even if it dies in the weather change. Then what? Gonna be apocalypto 2.0 again? Then year after that, it could mutate again. Vaccine might not do shit.

They will include the corona virus vaccine in with the other slew of shit they stick in your arm every year.

This is the only sport in town to bet on, so for you novice people who aren't normal players it is best to remain liquid on the sidelines. I expect a sharp recovery but it will take awhile to create a bottom. A random day of gains is just profit taking from short players. At this point you can lose a few days of the impending rally and still come out great, but your not gonna be able to time it. Don't try to catch the knife. If you're 401K is hit, and whose isn't, do nothing. You will lose about a year of growth an by 2022 it will probably be back.

Possible good news and an opportunity on the virus.

A Japanese flu drug appears to be effective at combatting coronavirus, Chinese studies show

https://www.yahoo.com/news/japanese-flu-drug-appears-effective-135200194.html

Scientists are working around the clock and around the globe to come up with remedies for the novel coronavirus, and, believe it or not, there's been some good news so far.Chinese medical authorities, for example, have said a Japanese drug called favipiravir, which is normally used to treat new strains of the flu, is "clearly effective" in treating COVID-19 patients, The Guardian reports. And while it would still need government approval for full-scale use, it also has a high degree of safety because it's already been used to treat flu patients. Approval could reportedly happen as early as May, per The Guardian, though that's mostly speculation.The Chinese studies, which tested 340 COVID-19 patients, have shown patients turned negative for the virus after a median of four days compared to 11 for those who were not administered the drug, and X-rays confirmed lung condition improvements in 91 percent of those who received it versus 62 percent of those who didn't.Of course, favipiravir would be a treatment and not a cure, and Japanese clinical trials have so far found that the drug's effectiveness is not as strong in patients with more severe symptoms.It's not the only positive development, either. Another study from China found that three macaque monkeys didn't develop a second COVID-19 infection after recovering from their initial exposure, which suggests people may build up immunity after infection, and also provides some hope for research groups looking to use plasma from recovered patients as a treatment for the disease.Beyond that, companies worldwide are racing to develop faster tests and vaccines, with some clinical trials ready to begin.

Dow doing just fine.... for now

Its tanking on reduced production.

Production is relatively easy to replace.

IF the pandemic is contained.

The IF complicates things.

**Mac4Lyfe** · 03-19-20, 11:34 AM

Like clockwork. Once these doctors start talking, the markets dip down.

Agreed. But what does contained mean, how do we know when it's contained and how do we know if it will become uncontained?

Thanks, I actually do value your thought.

Its contained when production levels of factories in china return to normal.

Or the number of infections begins to decline.

**d2bets** · 03-19-20, 01:14 PM

See how the NASDAQ is outperforming today? Not surprising. Everything has been dumped, but a fair number of tech companies will benefit from this. Tech is going to be more important than ever. If there is any saving grace, we are so much better equipped for this now than ever before.

Meh. Dinosaur company. Probably dead.

**krk1030** · 03-19-20, 02:19 PM

Just made a deposit to etrade takes a few days before you can buy anything though.

So many companies that will bounce back quickly once this is over

Give us some winners.

But when you say "this is over", that's the key. I mean, will this be "over" in a couple months. Short of a vaccine, how will we ever know it's over. Could come in waves until a vaccine.

No way. Maybe maybe maybe the curve can start leveling off by then, but certainly won't be past the threat.

**Shafted69** · 03-19-20, 05:49 PM

I guess tomorrow is another down day. Ping pong back and forth.

I'm totally out. I figure if I'm wrong the world will be way better, and I'll be alive and happy again.
If I'm correct I will have some money for my funeral.

Anyone hear of AYTU?

**CanuckG** · 03-19-20, 10:14 PM

This will be done by Summer 2021

Yeah, I am figuring overall this is a 14-20 month thing. Until we have a vaccine, it's really not over. It will diminish eventually after a large percentage have it, recover and develop herd immunity. But it won't be over. But it's impossible for the lockdown state to survive for that long. I imagine people will start emerging mid-May. Things will get better and then we'll probably see a wave 2 in the fall and at a moment's notice could be told to hunker back down for 2 weeks.

**pavyracer** · 03-20-20, 08:26 AM

They are predicting heat waves for this summer. The virus will die in 90-100 degree weather.

**homie1975** · 03-20-20, 09:01 AM

anyone have empirical evidence that the virus is NOT heat-resistant and will die? or are we all of sudden bio researchers in our pajamas making shitt up as we go?

That's in what, July or August? Yeah, it will probably die down around then and then re-emerge in the fall.

Flu season flares up during winter for a reason.

Heat doesn't 100% kill the virus.

In cold weather the virus might survive on surfaces and infect people for up to 4 days.

In warm weather the virus might survive on surfaces and be infectious for 4 hours.

Et al.

**CanuckG** · 03-20-20, 09:58 AM

Penn up 88% today

**d2bets** · 03-20-20, 09:59 AM

Market holding up somehow. Is it fake?

I'm about to listen a Northern Trust webinar. I imagine they'll say don't panic, it's an opportunity.

**d2bets** · 03-20-20, 10:20 AM

Expert just said peak mid to late April and lower-end of the curve late June or early July.

**Lineman** · 03-20-20, 10:30 AM
