Just went down to get some coffee. They’ve closed down serving breakfast and coffee altogether because of the virus although I’m not even aware of any cases in Phoenix where I am.
without massive blow ups in related derivative mkts , that price off treasury rates……some people somewhere are destroyed and it will be in the Multi billions, maybe in the Trillions of dollars….it’s all been far too calm so far.
They should start putting up UVC lights in public places and hospitals which will kill the virus but not harmful or so they say to humans or their eyes like UV light.
Just don’t go out less you have to and take precautions.
Italy suggesting to put a age limit on who they help and literally kicking out all people even if not Coronavirus over a certain age out of ICU.
Italy announces all shops except pharmacies and food outlets will be CLOSED as coronavirus death toll climbs by 31% to 827 in 24 hours and intensive care units are advise to stop treating the elderly
* All non-essential shops except pharmacies and food outlets will be closed in Italy as cases of coronavirus soar
* Cases in Italy jumped in the last 24 hours by 196 to 827 as intensive care units face acute shortage of beds
* As a result medics should stop treating elderly and focus on those with better survival chances, doctors warn
* Comes as coronavirus cases in Italy topped 12,000 with more than 800 deaths and Europe went over 22,000
* Denmark has announced it will close all kindergartens, schools and universities for two weeks over the virus
Italy has said all shops except pharmacies and food outlets will be closed in response to the country’s coronavirus outbreak as the death toll from the disease in the country jumped sharply in the last 24 hours.
A top Italian doctor said intensive care wards should place an age limit on beds as a way of prioritising medical resources amid the deepening crisis that has seen cases in Italy rise by 196 to 827 today.
Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte announced the latest wave of restrictions in a dramatic appeal to the nation that came as the country of 60 million battles its biggest crisis in generations.
In another development top doctors suggested that rather than admit patients on a ‘first come first served’ basis, hospitals should swap to ‘catastrophe medicine’ guidelines – typically used in war zones and during natural disasters – where those with the greatest chance of survival are given priority.
If a limit on beds is implemented it could mean elderly patients with no signs of coronavirus being turfed off ICU wards to make space for younger patients who have longer left to live.
The guidelines should apply to all patients needing intensive care treatment and not just those suffering from coronavrius, according to guidance published this week by the Society of Anesthesia, Analgesia, Resuscitation and Intensive Care (SAARI).
Elsewhere, Ireland, Belgium, Bulgaria and Albania reported their first virus-related deaths earlier on Wednesday. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8101135/Intensive-care-units-stop-treating-elderly-coronavirus-outbreak-worsens.html?ito=facebook_share_article-facebook_preferred-top&fbclid=IwAR02kqPxtsTUkLR2KbKNZZ5_0CCot3R62S1dnv4tQC4JxWgIimVgTuiid0E
passenger rail travel in Caracoli , Colombia…some with very, very low carbon footprint !
(unless the guy with the pole had and extra serving of frijoles the night before)
Thanks for the reminder! I forgot to mention that I picked up an Ozone generator recently also. They are under $100 and sterilize the air and surfaces. Hawaii is humid, and mold and mildew grows easily in this environment, so the ozone generator is great for killing mold and odors… and bacteria and viruses. One more prepper thing to have.
Thanks for the Wheaton Post I missed that ..its my biggest single stock holding ,I have others ..also hold Tocqueville Gold Fund and Gabelli Gold Fund..(Tocqueville )recently merged into Sprott family of Gold Holdings ..
for me to get the OZONE generator out of the closet and turn it on ..They say it kills Corona Virus ..I used it in my business 20 some years ago to clear cigarette smoke !…..yeah baby, I was ahead of my time ! I think I got TWO of them… I can put one upstairs and one downstairs ..made by Alpine ….
Tks for yr comments…yup am on a multi vitamin supplement….plenty of fruit as well daily and keeping a low profile socially, with minimal travel. Plus exercise out doors.
Happy Birthday, a day to celebrate not worry about what the market is doing. It can get moods up so timing does help when you talk about it going down after the fact. Think it is some only see you when you say it’s going down never up so some may think your not sincere. I don’t pay much mind although open minded to what others think as it just clouds your own common sense.
You can make money both ways anyways up or down. So far anyways.
Just heard something not sure what they were talking about cuz I didn’t catch all of it but China is threatening to stop sending medicine to the US.
These idiot politicians who let it happen where are they now, hiding?
Hope they get a clue and work in partisan to get them back SAP or your theory of those over 60 who needs medicine may come true. Along with anyone else.
The torrential rain has begun, and all those that have been making such easy money selling flood insurance have begun to panic. And I don’t think the prospect for zero rates and massive QE is about to instill calm and confidence. Indeed, the entire notion of open-ended QE and fiscal deficits creates acute market uncertainty. How does this melt-up in Treasury prices impact “carry trade” speculation in corporate Credit? Could dollar prospects (and currency market stability) be murkier in such a policy backdrop? How does such uncertainty play for global leveraged speculation? It is difficult to envisage a scenario where myriad global risks (i.e. coronavirus, financial, economic, policy, geopolitical) don’t incite a momentous de-risking/deleveraging dynamic. The odds of the dreadful global “seizing up” scenario are rising. The Modern-Day Bank Run.
Not everyone here thinks you are a bad dude just sometimes lacking in clarity of ideas. Don’t give up on God. He is your salvation. When we leave our mortal coil behind, we move to the spiritual realm. Have Faith in Jesus Christ. He is the only way to the Father. In the bigger scheme of things, money and life’s frivolities are meaningless(but not totally unimportant for survival, sadly). Keep the Faith. Better days are ahead for those who have it(whether in this world or the next and the next one is not for a mere 100 years or less). God bless you and all the Tenters.
Bubbles and resulting manias take on lives of their own. They cannot, however, escape harsh realities: Fragilities only build up over time, and Bubbles don’t work in reverse. Collapse becomes unavoidable, with any serious de-risking/deleveraging dynamic leading to a contraction of marketplace liquidity, a spike in risk premiums, illiquidity, panic and dislocation. It’s the modern form of the old-fashioned Bank Run. That’s where we are today.
Duffy is protecting his 150 floor traders from the Coronavirus – according to him anyway.
Might as well shut down the whole G-Damn corrupt thing IMHO
This whole Coronavirus thing is a great big farce, just used as cover for the ongoing financial collapse which is being orchestrated now.
CoinGuy – Maybe if you’d spent more time speaking as clearly as you’ve done in your last post, you wouldn’t now be blaming everyone else for your departure. You rail about your “calls” as if they are prophetic, but the truth is that most of your posts have always been unintelligible. Not even close to being clear, and intentionally so.
I’m sorry your heart is broken but it has nothing to do with this forum.
