    Apologies Organ, I haven't spent years immersing myself in these crackpot theories so I don't grasp them straight away. So when you said China had passed a vaccine law about eight months ago, you meant they were 'administering bad vaccines' and released the virus to cover this (somehow). Maybe I need the dots joined up for me, or then again, maybe I really don't.

    I saw mentioned elsewhere that Israel has its first coronavirus case. It's mutated from an Asian only virus to an anti-Semitic one too.
    Has it mutated? Was it ever an Asian only virus? Or was that one of your smart theories? If a virus that was almost entirely in China was only killing Chinese people, then it must be Asian only. Luckily you're quick on your feet with amendments!

    My dear fellow, I'm just speculating. I've referenced twice in this thread that the consensus figure is 60 million that the Chinese Communist Party deliberately culled its population of in the 1950s. You appear to believe the same Communist Party is above murdering its citizens today via compulsory vaccine shots. Its vassal state next door in North Korea is its major rival in the inhumanity stakes. Perhaps that's just a coincidence in your world? The anti-Semitic remark was an attempt at humour. Although as far as I'm aware those of Asian origin are those particularly susceptible to death from CV infection.

    You and some others here seem determined to ignore the gathering and imminent economic crap storm that's about to envelop the globe. Pay little attention of the danger to your health to concentrate on mitigating the effects of the assault on your wealth otherwise you'll regret being gripped by crippling inertia.

    A lot of assumptions there, organ. A lot of assumptions.

    As I said earlier in the thread, it's wrong to suggest that just because I think it's a dumbass suggestion/speculation that China made and released the virus themselves that I'm in some kind of thrall to their government. And also you may be interested to learn that the coronavirus is directly affecting my own job. I expect it to get a lot worse before it gets better. But thanks for your lessons on the economic impact.

    Tricky switching employment in anticipation of a downturn, I'll give in there.

    I was however suggesting other precautions such as stocking up on grub and other essentials, having enough cash on hand to last for several weeks and only having sufficient dough in bank accounts to cover bills.

    Who's switching employment? I assumed you were retired with a lot of time on your hands.

    I was referring to you, not me. Yes, I called it quits at 50.

    I'm not switching employment.

    Should you have a change of heart then for a lucrative new career path I'd recommend a switch to insolvency services, debt collecting, the funeral business, or care home industry.

    It seems that stock market participants have begun to get cold feet this morning. When the WHO declare a global pandemic then the rush to the exits will be something to behold.

    There's so many economic doom indicators flashing red presently that it's difficult to keep up. The biggest warning is probably the US government debt markets where both their 10 and 30-year treasury yields reached all-time lows yesterday. Additionally their major stock market dropped 2,000 points (or 6%) during the past two days. Britain's FTSE 100 has also been clobbered and is minus 10% over the past month.

    Is the herd beginning to stir?

    On the virus front, Brazil has reported its first case. Coronavirus: Outbreak spreads in Europe from Italy - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-51638095

    In more detailed reports about the Brazil infection, they say it's a 61-year-old who returned from Italy on February 14. We can only guess how many people he had contact with before he was diagnosed yesterday.

    A series of posts by someone who claimed to have insider contacts appeared at a 4chan messageboard late last month. They've since gained a great deal of interest because s/he accurately predicted Italy, by design, would see many infections and stated to watch Brazil carefully because if a major outbreak takes hold there then it would be time to panic. Someone collated those posts into an image file which is here https://imgur.com/wQIpudN for those who care to read them.

    BREAKING: President Trump calls a press conference to assure the American people that the #Coronavirus has been completely contained, and that there is no legitimate threat to any Americans.

    The White House said President Trump was referring to the Ebola virus — not the deadly coronavirus — when he claimed that “we’re very close to a vaccine.”

    The Food and Drug Administration announced in December that it had approved a vaccine for the prevention of the Ebola virus.

    One of the third party inspection agencies who visits our place has grounded all their inspectors who have visited Italy on inspection duties in recent weeks, North Italy is a massive hub for engineering, especially forged components.

    As a leading proponent of the "Buck stops anywhere but here" School of Presidential Responsibility I think Trump just pointed Pence towards the under-chassis of the Coronavirus Bus should Trump's nonchalance prove to be misplaced.

    The FTSE 100 finished slightly up yesterday after falling 1.5% intraday. The Yank Dow Jones was also up and appeared on course to break a four-day losing streak... then Trump showed up with a bumbling display at a press conference he had called and the Dow reversed. Selling resumed in Japan overnight and the FTSE 100 is back to struggling again, down 2.4% currently.
