They'll be back at it in 25 days to pass another $2+ trillion package to float the economy for the month of May. So basically, buy gold. The money supply is about to go bananas.

Now that live sports have stopped it wouldn't be a bad idea for bookies to open this up as a betting line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the US didn’t handle it well but I simply just don’t belive that there are no new cases in China. We are a long long long way off from a vaccine. I am lucky to still be a college One of my friends and 2 of my cousins have it. I am now checking my body very carefully because I saw one of them not to long ago Hope your cousins and friend get better soon and your are ok.No doubt a terrible time for everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
action Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 when I did research on my ancestors, from the period 1634-1650, I found that my ancestor used to live in a town that would be completely depopulated, five years after he left there. Curiously, only the pastor survived. I think to those people it was really the end of the world. imagine being a pastor and seeing your entire town depopulated, and you're the only one left. What would have gone on in that man's head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Over a million around the world have the virus and that's just the ones who get tested. If you are not showing signs of the virus no testing done. But they are saying we can have it without signs. This scares me the most. Texas is allergy season now. I take an allergy pill as soon as I feel any symptoms. It's making me crazy. A lot of FDNY and PNY are sick in NYC. Everyone keeps saying the end of April will be much worse. How much worse can it get? Now the news is saying China lied about the virus and how many people got sick and died. North Korea says they don't have any cases. yeah, you know what they are doing to the people who they think are sick. They won't and can't deal with it the medical way. So much outbreak, it amazes that so many of us are still okay. I hope we all stay that way. Stay inside and stay well. Yeah, the US thought it was too far away for us to get this virus. Goes to show you how small the world really is. I don't think any country was ready for something like this to happen. I'm sure China wanted to keep it a secret and thinking they could contain it. Boy everyone was so wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson87 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) The governor of Iowa still hasn't issued a shelter in place order despite heavy pressure from counties, congress and other states.

Boy everyone was so wrong! It's nothing to be amazed for. Most infected don't have any symptoms. Of those who have some - most have very mild. But those with some health issues are in danger.... And it seems that some infected have strange symptoms - losing sense of smell for example... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spunko12345 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Pot noodles are a bit like eating elastic bands in salted boiling water.

Only in modern times have we been able to associate specific pathogens with some of them, with differing levels of confidence. @DieselDaisy What's wrong in the post above?

grouse Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Corona has reared it's ugly head in my family as well, as of yesterday my 15 year old nephew has been taken to hospital.
