Recent TV news in the UK portrayed a journo in Italy relating that the tourism industry has evaporated. Venice is apparently empty, as are parts of Rome. North of Rome (some distance) is a quarantine area. The journo was driving in it with cameras showing the deserted streets … and then he said “I am going to turn around now and head back before we encounter a police checkpoint”.
Some of the scenes are reminiscent of the current state of Hong Kong and Shanghai, almost completely devoid of people. The total (Italian) death count has now reached something like 360. They are locking down parts of their country and taking this seriously.
Thank you for pointing out a single typo and proclaiming boomer superiority. I hope that sense of superiority will serve you well as the Coronavirus ravages your country. Surely, it will make an aging boomer impervious too such a nasty virus.
After all, it’s that same sense of superiority that created the conditions that we all find ourselves in today. Boomers sold out their countries and their countrymen in the name of globalization. Boomers pushed for third world migration into first world countries. Boomers are now going to reap what they have sown. How fitting.
Yes…but you didn’t do anything to stop it either…and you benefitted from all of it.
lol for the first time since the financial crisis, the E-mini S&P future has hit the limit down band of -5%, something it failed to do even during the May 2010 flash crash.
No one freak out. Most people won’t die from this. It will kill a lot of old people, eliminating the “demographic time bomb” of our aging population - which is probably what it was designed for. Most younger, healthy people are not really at risk.
We are all going to experience a catastrophic, total economic collapse - followed by the imposition of a completely digital money system. The dollar will be successively devalued. XRP will be the bridge currency for all digital value: all the money, all the stocks, all the bonds, all the tokenized assets. It will not devalue but will grow - massively - in value. Check “To the Lifeboats,” “Digital Asset Investor” and “SPQR” on Youtube for confirmation. Therefore have some cash, possibly some junk silver, and all necessary food and supplies to weather the storm.
Not if you read what is actually written there in the statement you quoted.
His chances of being infected are extremely low.
If this wee true we’d be seeing similar numbers of infectees in the US to S. Korea or Italy.
So far due to early implementation of travel restrictions and quarantine it’s still at a very manageable level in the US.
With a total population of 328.8 million people we’ve only had 547 confirmed cases and 22 total deaths.
Compare that to SK with a total of 50 million people 7,382, and 50 dead, or with Italy with very similar numbers of infected in a much shorter period and 366 deaths, but it’s spreading exponentially quickly there.
I’m so fucking ready. This is going to be the tastiest schadenfreude since 2016. We tried to fucking tell everyone and we were repeatedly told it’s nothing.
Well it isn’t. This time around, the apocalypse will not be televised for your convenience. Figure it out on your own, or die.
We are not too fucked, I mean cash will lose all value probably while they quantitatively ease us into hyperinflation and then you can pay off all of your loans and mortgage with the wheelbarrow of fed notes it costs to buy a sandwich, it will be like a debt jubilee but with far more suicides, but its going to be pretty great, dont kill yourself and buy some precious metals.
