Dow Falls as U.S. Warned of 100,000s of Coronavirus Cases -- almost all gains since Trump's inauguration wiped out

100,000s is idiotic. If 100,000 were to get this, based on its high transmission rate, it would quickly turn into 10s of millions. We don't have the will to quarantine 100,000 people.

I hope you are right about this.


I find the Chinese "lockdowns" more ominous than the virus.

Crypto only works if there's power. That why I don't understand why so many "preppers" even consider thinking about it.

No power = no crypto
No internet = no crypto

Enjoy it while it lasts.

Stop believing all these lies.

Which "lies"?

So now tptb are getting the effect they were going for. This is a bio weapon or total bs.

Last resort to crash economy. They'll say corona is trumps fault

I guess the US should have thought of that BEFORE leaving the borders open to Chinese travelers. But then again, maybe it's not their fault! They were too distracted by all the cries to 'Impeach! Impeach!' to pay attention to what was happening in China. The sad thing is that many may have to die because of the ineptitude of those in charge.

Impeachment was a major distraction for the sheeple, indeed.

Put another way, crypto works as long as there is power. I don't know why do many "preppers" plan only for teotwawki when bills will be due in 30 days.

We have 16 reported confirmed cases of this virus state side.

How many have gone unreported?

A couple other thoughts.

Say an older single person with no real family gets infected and dies. Makes me wonder how many people did they infect.

How soon before we hear a report of someone who works in the food industry. Having the virus and has been bring people virus plates for weeks.

Things can turn south really quickly here state side. Given the right opportunity.

I think we are looking at a perfect storm.

Forex markets are in a landslide towards the dollar for the past 2 weeks.

Rattled markets. Flight to safety. China tries to get their money out. Etc.


US dollar gained 400+ pips

Eur/USD

My paesanos are freaked out.


Worried about recession again.

The DJIA index is nearing 30,000 .... the highest it’s ever been in recorded history. All indices and stocks fluctuate literally every MINUTE of the trading day.

I guarantee the people shouting “the markets are tumbling” have never traded the markets.

While I DO believe the markets WILL in fact pull back (I just closed out ALL my positions early today in anticipation of a big drop), the fact is at this very moment the markets are at full tilt. They most certainly are NOT “tumbling”.

Threads like this are nothing but Doom Candy for the DoomTards.

Yes, REAL DOOM is coming this time, but the markets aren’t feeling it just yet.

Uh Solar power chargers anyone? Car charger ports?? You can get a cold wallet and power it down. Draws less power than a led flash light or wireless game controller.

Now go eat your soup.

Ok People far more intelligent than millennials?

Again, article in op was from CCN, not CNN.

You really need to wake up, they don’t quarantine hundreds of millions of people for the “flu” I’m getting so sick of hearing that brainwashed sheep statement I want to slap the next person who says it, my own kids included! Look at their actions, NOT their words! Do you even comprehend the ramifications of what China is doing? They downplayed it so they had time to get all their ducks in a row and with all of the confirmed cases coming off that cruise ship they can’t hide it any longer. Mark my words, withe “new testing” we will be in the hundreds of cases by the end of next week, if not higher. Then we will shut it all down, no travel. I hope you are ready for that and not mindlessly listening to the dribble from the msm because once it’s announced it will be too late.

How are you going to be able to buy food or essentials with crypto when TSHTF? When it really hits, card readers in checkouts at stores won't even be working, so even if you had a crypto visa card what are you going to do with it? "Paper gold" isn't safe either. What is really safe is what you can hold in your own hands and defend with your own hands.

LMAO, yeah I don't think interest rates are going to be on a lot of people's minds in a couple of months.

Yeah sure...

We already know they can manipulate it down to the penny when you see stocks closing at numbers like 777.77 etc.
Why would you ever trust them?

Futures were down.


Market is down.


29,468.17 -83.25 (0.28%)

Yeah, I get that you can run your laptop off a solar panel. But now that you have your computer up and running, now try hitting the server in some data center that is without power. Or how about your ISP? How are you going to access the blockchain when you can't get on the internet because DHS cut off everybody from access the web? Blockchain relies on multiple people crunching the numbers. Do you have enough solar cells to run a miner that sucks power in like it's nothing? Go buy your bitcoin, it's about as valuable as a gold certificate when the SHTF. Unless you can put something tangible in someone's hands, you don't have jack shit.

FAIL

So, we are stopping everyone coming in from China and placing them into quarantine which is a good step but that will not stop the virus from coming into the country.

Think about it, flying to the US from China is a long-ass flight. There are not many non-stops From China to the US. That means if you're flying from China to say NYC,NY, you'd be lucky if you only had one stop. But let's just say that you do only have one-stop you get off of your flight out of China and get onto a different plane. Guess what that flight also has people on board coming maybe Hawaii, Guam, the PI. Now imagine you get the passenger from China, sitting next to the passenger from Hawaii. The passenger from China passes the virus to the Hawaii passenger. The passenger from China gets stopped by Customs and sent to self-quarantine like a good little dubby. The passenger from Hawaii is now patient Zero for bringing the virus into the local population.

In other words, it's not going to start spreading in the US. It is already spreading.

TLDR; try finding a flight from China to the US that doesn't transfer flights.

You misspelled "fall"

you're all scarring me, tell me it's just the flu, so I can feel safe

YEap this is just typical flu season. The Chinese are known to shut down there economy when Ho Lee Fuk and Ho Sheet get the sniffles.

And lockdown a third of their country...
