    We should be prepared for a revisit to 10K Dow before 30K Dow, because people are sheeple. I have ZERO faith in the proactivity of people when it comes to the markets, only reactivity.
    And they will keep selling, selling selling based on fear and panic. Talk about a long squeeze.

    Too many RobinHood types out there, lol!

    I just hope that the real folks that matter keep this market from hitting the 66% level that 10K Dow would imply.

    It sounds BAD don't get me wrong, but the Total cases are wrong, I've had it, barely knew I had it ( GF brought it back from Singapore, all my mates have it currently 2 weeks after me sorry!), none of them will need or get tested so there not going to be in the cases column.

    The Real cases are likely 10x's the reported cases, which means the death rate is actually 0.3% or 3x's as bad as regular flu.

    Obviously there is Zero chance you can calculate, who has had it, but it's higher much higher.

    Wow...

    In many cases, the young and so called healthy (barely any symptoms) are passing the virus to the Old & Sick.

    Seriously, the last time I was in the hospital...most of the nurses and medical people were in their late 20's to 40's.

    My massage therapist is 35 years old whom I have not had a session with for 4 months. She's Covid-19 positive and didn't know it. Recently while not isolated...passed it to another young family member in his 20's (barely even a cough) that then accidentally passed it to his mom in her late 40's when she already had an existing respiratory illness.

    She's now in intensive care fighting for her life.

    My point, maybe the young idiots are screwing people over and ruining lives.

    By the way, recently I saw footage of spring breakers partying and having a good time on Florida beaches. I think every parent that knows their young adult child is partying in Florida...forced them into self isolation for 14 days prior to allowing them back into their home considering their college campus is already closed.

    Personally, if I knew my child went to Florida or any beach for a good time while on spring break...when that child returns home...he/she will have a tent put up in the back yard with a shovel, bucket and food supplies.

    They will get blood tested at the end of their 14 day self isolation before being allowed back into my home. Seriously, gotta protect the Old or Sick from the young idiots.

    Grandma...I got your back. :cool:
