If you do martial law then that's an entirely different situation, to be honest with "predictions" of over a million people passing away from this virus I'm actually very surprised they haven't enacted anything serious to keep people in which means possible martial law!!
this is why short term traders are such a pathetic group... not just here.... I visit some other places the reaction is the same.. fcking $3m is peanuts.... I also have a circle of real estate friends, many of them have portfolios sitting on gains FAR bigger... I am telling you short term trading is mostly for the losers still living in mom's basement... do something productive for the grace of god. what's the point.... how many 401k millionaires are in Fidelity alone.... if you stay invested. have some grand vision for fck sake.. you have never experienced a 'super cycle' that's why these gains look astronomical to you. do you know how many multimillionaires were made in China due to the real estate rise in the past 25 years... you go around telling people about $3m they'd laugh... not to mention prime real estate markets around the world have seen huge gains. I caught a small piece by luck, $25k 20 years ago, now it's worth $1m... now imagine the people living there, catching bigger pieces. THINK BIGGER, PLAY BIGGER!
1 million deaths is not a big deal for a population 330 million (unless its a personal loved one of yours), especially when its mainly old and already sick people. It is the 10million who will require hospital treatment all at once that is problem. We could just ignore them, refuse medical treatment, and let 1 million of them die at home. Although it will probably rise to multiple millions if we do that. No easy solution to this problem. Damned if you do and damned if you dont.
this is what I meant by 'talking to a bunch of deaf and blind people'.... already laid out why it's 200k death tops and you are still throwing around 1 million death. but let me give you that 1 million, I also just made a post that the panic drag on the GDP alone is already equivalent to 1 million death. there is always an 'easy solution'... you put everything in numbers, either a>b or a<b. easy.
Life and the real world isn't like that. Direct deaths always trump indirect deaths. You need to live in the real world.
the locations basically confirm the '40 degrees north latitude theory'.... NY and WA... CA number is big but concentrated in north CA... and them panic camp keep ignoring the fact that the severe outbreaks are all happening in cold climate... summer is just around the corner...
that is true, which is also why I keep saying people are morons. if you are dead you are dead right, what difference does it make if direct or indirect.. that's why we are in the mess right now.
50 million people over the age of 65 in the US. 25 million morbidly obese people in the US as well (BMI>40) Keep dreaming that there will be only 200K deaths if nothing is done.
You are way off the proverbial mile and looking at the worst case scenario painted by extreme liberals to further their agenda. Most Corona Virus victims 81% of them will get mild symptoms and would not require hospitalization. 14% will require some hospitalization but, only 2.5%, the most severe will perish. That is not to discount their lives as every life is precious but, extreme liberal media is inducing panic and hysteria in the population in all countries instead, of sticking to facts. 97.5% of people will be okay. 2.5% will perish. Death rate for the US confirmed cases is 1.80%. The lowest even compared to most European Union countries and China. China figures probably, fake as they moved 10 large incinerators to Wuhan, China during the outbreak. How many bodies did the Chinese burn and hide from their official figures?
I already said even if I give you 1m, the panic is still out of proportion. we had 80000 flu death in 2018, where was 8% of the panic.
