    And it's not math, it's basic arithmetic.

    Are the subways still running in NYC? Are they social distancing on them? No? Then the numbers are going to be staggering.

    Or actually 0.12 (with 327 million) doing it in my head.

    Hey maybe I'm wrong, need an excuse to stop yammering here anyway.

    Well it is the 1st of April.

    Man I have not traded in eight days, promised myself I would stop and read some books instead once my net worth went over a threshold.. I'm barely half way through a book called "The tent, the bucket and me" and already forgetting what day of the week it is..

  6. You are correct. I still hold to the point I am making, it's a statistically insignificant number, not even a rounding error. You don't destroy a country trying to save such a small number of people, most of whom are on their death beds to begin with. What happened to the steely nerves of the cold calculating traders here who now can't make the most straightforward decision we'll ever be faced with? The ROI of this choice being economic suicide is beyond terrible.

    explain post 9/11 armed conflicts then. Most traders that understood what was coming are either in cash or short.

    No surprise he can't connect this to everything else he thinks he knows but does not.

    Hey, spotted this and think I could really do with licking a yellow frog and not have to live with these dumbasses. Fool fool first of April! we just call them freedom frogs, keep repeating that and all the idiots will be gone! That would be nice.

    It is amazing how Limbaugh and co have managed to convinced the boomers they should sacrafice themselves for the corporations.

    Finally, something good from him.

    This is too obvious but, a doctor on You Tube said that one way to reduce transmission is to open windows in your house. It makes the viruses dissipate faster with the wind scattering it. Huge concentrations of the Corona Virus cause infections. That is why hospitals are big incubators. Maybe, hospitals should open their windows or put windows if necessary?
