SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19

Chinese woman describes virus patients stuffed into body bags and burned alive.

I would hope this is fake news, but knowing China, could imagine it's true.

This data suggests that the situation is improving...

Chinese stats are BS. Every other country is reporting an increase in cases.

I'm not sure you understand why that is the case.

Too much money involved.  If anything they will be even more strict on who they let in the country.  The question is going to be how far will they go.  

Japan to close schools across the country.

83 people in Nassau County in NY being tested for the virus.

Stock markets absolutely tanking. 

Not a good day.

One. Exactly ONE case in the U.S. of coronavirus of unknown transmission origin, and stock futures are plunging tonight.

Another horrible day on Wall Street in store because of one patient in a country of 320 million people.

A bit of an overreaction I would say.

BUY ON THE DIPS

Goldman says the S&P could drop another 7% in the next week, others say there's no way to tell when the bottom will occur. We could see a 20-30% plunge before sanity returns. 

I think I'll wait a while and see what happens with this virus. There's a disturbing report that some people who caught it and recovered have now been re-infected somehow. We do not know much about this virus at all. There is no vaccine and no treatment for it. Even the tests are being rolled out very slowly with the usual bureaucratic holdups.

What I would like to see is one trading day where there's a big drop at the open and then a huge recovery at the end of the day. That's what happened on March 9, 2009 which signaled the bottom and the beginning of the 11-year bull market. There were no more sellers after the indexes had lost almost 50%.

That dummy Kudlow said to buy on the dips on tuesday, about 6% ago.

Since Pence is on the case, I assume the administration plans to pray the virus away, or use leeches.

There's a difference in having the virus than just being monitored. I've read that there are 28 cases in CA though.

Right, but there's only one case of unknown origin, in northern California.

Someone has it who did not travel to China or came in contact with anyone from there, nor did he come into contact with any known infected person. They're trying to find out exactly how he caught it.

[Lhalo]

Yes, I understand that.

You didn't read my post carefully.

One case of unknown origin. Someone who did not travel to/from China and had no contact with anyone from China, or any known infected person for that matter. 

At this point there's only one in California. 8,400 people are being 'monitored' and 33 I believe is the latest number of actual infections in California. But those are of known origins.

If he gets it, how on earth is Pence's prayers going to help?

Like I've said, UCI needs to change their mascot, to anything other than an anteater.    Imagine the teasing they are getting from the opposing school's fans, mascot representing the starting of this crazy virus.

That many?   This is UCR we're talking about, the school Cal Baptist has already passed by in their early D-1 time.

I watched UC Riverside beat Nebraska at Lincoln in November, and thought they may be something special.

Turns out, Nebraska just sucks.

They are usually true Bugaha in basketball, only 3 seasons in the past 21 where they've been at .500 or above in Big-12/Big-10 play.    And in many of those, waaaay under .500
