Activities? You surely mean activation and no, it's not covered in "microbiology 101". There is no such thing as winter "climate", but rather winter weather. Finally, vitamin D is primarily responsible for calcium metabolism (*)and it is certainly not the primary reason for seasonal colds (hint - what vitamin did they suggest to take during the winter?). PS. Seems like everyone wants to play doctor on the internet, especially today. PPS. Calcitriol, which is metabolite of vitamine D is involved in immunomodulation but it's not it's primary purpose
Technically yes. However, Bear markets kill everything, even stocks with good earnings. Investors just want out and institutions want to lock in profits and preserve cash. Ive seen it many times before. Stocks fall to levels that are unimaginable. As far as temperature and the virus, higher humidity slows the airborne transmission. When its humid, the airborne droplets cant travel as far. That helps but it doesnt kill the virus.
There are currently a LOT fewer cases in South America and Africa compared to Europe and North America. That's due to a lot of factors, but we can't rule out that temperature is reducing the spread of the virus. How many cases would Africa and SA have if the climate there was similar to New York? No way to answer that.

Looking at the trendlines, we're just at resistance that we broke down from 3 weeks ago as support. Expecting the next leg down in the upcoming weeks/months.
My D1 YM chart* is still play longs only ( obviously crazy in this market ), only 400pts area before break down, so good risk to reward potential here aswell. * I can't and don't trade of D1 charts, amusement only. Virtual Long here 21,000 allowing for gap open, SL 19,950, expect mid 23K nearing 24K so good risk to reward.
Most likely none, but can't you see the Republicans doing anything they can to prop the market up? The year is not going to end in a bear market. Regardless, whoever wins, the market is going to rally November/December.
There will be lots of rallies. Most of them dead cat bounces. Until the bottom is in. Maybe the final bottom will be sometime this year. But it seems unlikely given how bad things are.
