    How do you predict years in advance which suppliers are going to be affected by what is nearly a random event?

    I wonder what the death rates will be when this hits the tent cities full of addicts living in garbage and human waste?

    Oh, please. Just one example... He said he wouldn't cut personal taxes for rich people, a promise he made before becoming President and repeated through Fall 2017, then turned around and gave 85% of the tax cut to people making more than $400,000 per year.

    It seems to be.
    Why I kept my estimate low.
    How about a realistic assessment of the situation. Then the Blowhard-in-Chief can stop going to rallies, be seen in COVID-17 meetings, and pretend he's the President.
    No one believes that coming from a guy who is very weak on COVIS-19 details.
    You're whistling past the graveyard.

    Investors are jumpy, believe people they consider to be career experts at the CDC.

    I can predict right now that communist countries cannot be depended on.

    Baloney. The markets are spooked by the hype and fear.

    And, the fed has been pumping in massive amounts of currency into the repo markets and as QE since October. This predates corona virus

    There is more than 130 case in France, but it's spotted case, so probably much more people infected. Italy is the center of the epidemic in France, and I suppose that the whole Europe would be touched.

    More orange man bad theology. In case you hadn't noticed everyone is weak on covit-19. 2-3 months ago we didn't even know it existed. Now everyone is playing catch up.

    That chart shows SARS and MERS having few cases with a high death rate versus 10's of thousands of COVID-19 cases with a low death rate. That's pretty much what the CDC, HHS and the Trump administration have been telling us to expect.

    Lefties like to post graphs and charts that are like bikinis. They reveal alot but hide vital areas.

    What is the point of your post other than to point out that the coronavirus is highly contagious compared to the other diseases on the chart. A smaller death rate of a much larger number is more of a threat than a larger death rate of a very small number

    Then the flu should be considered panic worthy.

    Which would you rather contract: SARS, MERS, or COVID-19? I'll take coronavirus because it's far less likely to kill me. Less threatening.

    But you will have a much higher probability of knowing someone who dies from the coronavirus

    Probably not personally. Most of the elderly people in my life died after extended battles against cancer and/or Alzheimer's.

    In the last 15 days, there have been two deaths from coronavirus and 558 deaths from the ordinary flu.
    Stop panicking and wash your hands.

    I don't mean to criticize style rather than substance, but the punctuation in the above paragraph makes it unintelligible.

    Correction: that's what the CDC and HHS have been telling us. Not what Trump has been telling us. And that made investors a bit uneasy.
