    Good to see you've joined the side of Common Sense and not FEAR :)

    Spoke to 2 mates this week who work at Care Homes and ZERO deaths, not heard of any at the Care Home I setup singing kit for before this 2 weekly, not even hitting them hard really.

    You could argue there just dying of normal causes while testing positive for Covid most of the time.

    We-re still in the first wave in the U.S...

    Second wave is predicted to begin near the flu season (sometime in the late fall). Regardless if the market starts to catch up (begins a slow decent)...just be ready.

    I can soon this guy soon doing health commercials / vaccines about the cost of your deductible when you become sick from Covid-19. :D

    Let the good hands reward you for your face mask wearing and social distancing...

    The market is predicting we do not have to shutdown again and I think it’s correct.

    Which will then if they do that, prove didn't have to shut down the first time, which will be good for Trump as he really didn't want to, but going to make a lot of questions asked all over the world and the value of Lockdowns. ( Spoiler, very little )

    So expect they'll put some in for no reason / purpose other than to claim it saved 100K, which everyone will thank them for, everyone will be screaming lock down and save us aswell so expect lockdowns :(

    Florida Too late, over by the time the lock down would of kicked in, peak wise, not there yet from todays data.

    The market is screaming Covid is nowhere near as deadly as abc nightly news has you believe.

    Turn off the political propaganda machine they call news.

    bc there is nothing under the market. There are analogs to be seen if you've been through the CLEC/'net bubble, The Great Recession, etc. It truly doesn't matter how good it looks, this mkt is built on mud. The bids will vanish and we'll see 2500 before you can hit the bid.

    It is all a bit early to say this thing has gone away. The human body has a stronger immune system in the summer months.

    Lets hope there is no mutations and no second wave like 1918:

    "When the Spanish flu first appeared in early March 1918, it had all the hallmarks of a seasonal flu, albeit a highly contagious and virulent strain....

    From September through November of 1918, the death rate from the Spanish flu skyrocketed. In the United States alone, 195,000 Americans died from the Spanish flu in just the month of October"

    The problem with that line of thinking is forgetting that we've had vaccination campaigns now for decades, thrust upon us by the body helthatic because it is good for us. Our immune systems have gotten a lot more good at fighting the thousands of different bugs we're exposed to each day.

    Speaking of Malaria, by the way...

    "One of the most frustrating quests has been for a malaria vaccine. The most common parasites responsible for malaria (plasmodia) have demonstrated an impressive ability to circumvent eradication efforts by becoming drug-resistant. The fact that the WHO recently announced that it was exceedingly pleased with a new vaccine that protects just 30 percent of those immunized indicates the immense difficulty of producing a malaria vaccine. Although this percentage is very low compared with other vaccines, given the severity of malaria worldwide and the fact that it kills more than one million and infects more than 300 million children a year, even such limited coverage could save thousands if not millions of lives in the hardest-hit areas of the globe..."

    COVID-19. The global killer. Uh-huh, yeah.
