    Its a bad flu, that's pretty much it. If we didn't do anything, a bunch of folks would have been home sick for a week or two; others would have succumbed just like with the regular flu. Spanish Flu, Bird Flu, Swine Flu, not all that different.

    That seems to be an oversimplification.

    The number of people have died is with quarantine measures. Think how much higher that number would be, without quarantining. Also, people act as though deaths have dropped off. A lot of people are still dying and will continue to die.

    We have no idea what the long-term health ramifications are. Early concerns are permanent lung damage as well as possible organ damage.

    Let's think about this for a second.

    The flu deaths for this season 2019/2020 (October to February - around 5 months) is about 0.1% and the CDC is estimating the high end at 46,000 deaths and 45,000,000 affected as of 2/22/2020. Now comparing that to Covid-19 (depending on testing) has a death rate anywhere from 0.74% (Germany) to 3.4% (Globally). We already know that the virus is more infectious than the flu. So far Covid-19 has killed over 90,000 (around 4 months) in the United States and that is with social distancing and stay-at-home restrictions. Lets assume for argument sake that we didn't social distance and stay-at-home, since we don't do that for the flu, and we say that the mortality rate for Covid-19 is around 1.5%. At that percentage we would estimate about 4.8 million people could die if everyone in the U.S. got the virus. Even if we use the estimated flu infections for this season (45,000,000) that would be 675,000 deaths. I don't find these numbers an acceptable risk. I also don't see how people can say it's just a bad flu.
    Oh! and we have only tested around 4,000,000.
    May the force be with us.

    My opinion on the pandemic has flip-flopped so many times over the last two months that I’ve now lost count. I’m not even going to try and have an opinion on it right now. Maybe a year from now I’ll know something.

    Oh SEC, have you read this story closely? Please do. Looks like some potentially serious stock market manipulation going on.

    Someday it will come down but when, of course, is the big question.

    No problem, the Fed will just print more money I guess.
