No fear for the virus. Isnt it just old people who gets killed?
I've read a few companies are working on a vaccine. One in the United States is going into the third phase of testing. It will be interesting to see who gets their vaccine to market first, whoever does will make an ungodly amount of money.
I do believe this thread has a point, nobody's freaking out about dying but it's more about how it's affecting the economy and our daily lives. I'm new in the forum and I find the thread kind of amusing, actually.
OK so you are right and institutional investors are wrong?
I guess we should stop turning Hyde Park into a body disposal unit?

Fastest market correction in history.
No offense taken, no offense implied - see you at the Hyde Park Morgue (maybe)Good evening.
The URL literally states "worst case plan".
I wasn't trying to start a discussion here btw, I truly believe you guys aren't panicking about your lives. If you are, then I'm sorry if I offended you. I don't know who's right or wrong mate, I was just sharing my opinion.
Take it easy guys, if dark times are coming, we should all be in the same boat. Not literally though, that could get us all infected.

92% of old people (> 70) survive, 8% die
kids until adults it's like 2% or less
too much panic

As for it's usefulness, I'll try to share here what my reactions have been.
I started panicking at the end of january as I was just starting to get a lot of traction on a website in which I sell stuff from aliexpress. First week of february I marked it all as out of stock/preorder. Again, not because I don't want my prospect costumers to die of coronavirus, what I don't want is chargebacks and customer service chaos (as I would have to respond for it myself and it's a job that doesn't pay much in this kind of situation). It's sad because this situation has kicked just when I could've started to see some results to my work. But I'm always better safe than sorry.
I also cancelled a flight to Berlin. Again, it's not that I'm afraid of catching a cold, but I would hate to be forcedly quarantined far from home and in a worst case escenario, without an internet connection. Also, I always travel with my cat, so it's and added problem if I happen to end up quarantined.
To sum up, not much for your health but more for your sanity, cancel unnecessary traveling, and take down dropshiping from China temporarily.
I don't think it's a 'hoard food and water" kind of situation, but I believe it deserves a bit of common sense, we shouldn't be acting like nothing it's happening. Don't travel like nothing is happening. Don't expect services from China to be like nothing is happening.
It's kind of funny and sad how everyone goes mad. I mean, even if you have prepared yourself if you are infected then you will be infected. the whole thing reminds me of the swine flu 2009.
