  1. If you want situational reports, please look at the WHO website. They update this daily with official reports: https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/situation-reports/

    Sorry for the double first post. I'm having troubles editing from mobile.
  3. Or, if you waited until after March 6th, when Kudlow was gas lighting investors, you could have bought at an even cheaper rate. I mean, if you're locking in long term, why would you buy at the start of the crisis? The only people saying that things were going to get better were the President and his Cabinet. Everyone else, including investors, knew that things were going to get a whole lot worse.
  4. People tend to panic when there is a leadership failure. So, if the US is panicking now, I'm sure it's because of her emails.
  5. And, I answered it if you could be bothered to read.
  6. Buy whatever you want. If you think it's good policy for a government official to tell everyone to buy stock when he knows things are only going to get worse over the next while, then I don't know what to say.
  7. Hold onto your stock and not lock in the losses? Buying more, as things continue to spiral, seems like a bad idea.
  8. No, it was terrible advice when he knew that the gov't was not taking the threat seriously. He went on national TV and said everything was calming down and to buy the dip, knowing full well that the gov't had zero response and that things were clearly going to get worse. Kudlow is just a snake oil salesman like his boss.
  9. No, his inability to handle this situation has caused investors to lose confidence. The fact that he went out of his way to sign the Friday bump makes it clear that he has zero sense of what's going on. Investors know this and so do most functioning adults. When the largest economy in the world is led by an idiot, you can expect everything to fall apart.

    Nope, Americans are exempt. They are the biggest threat right now and have nothing but a clusterf.... response but they're going to be allowed across the border.

    I will not give up my guns until I know this will not turn into a zombie apocalypse.

    You can still write TB submissions and briefing notes on your laptop though, correct? Then upload them when you have access to VPN?

    Covid-19

    My wife arrived home last night. Flight went through YYC, as planned. Got nothing but a sheet recommending self-monitoring for 14-days. Of course, government is recommending 14 day self-isolation. As of this morning, all international flights will have a questionnaire and will be recommending the 14-day self-isolation. Too slow for this. Anyhow, my wife arrived late and I have had no contact. We're keeping the kids home this week because they want to be around their mother and it's not fair to send them into school after having contact with her. I expect the schools to be closed by tomorrow anyhow. As for me, I'm going to work today in the office and likely from home for the next two weeks. I'm fortunate that I can do this, although it's not an ideal time of the year to be doing it. Stay safe everyone.

  17. And the President can exempt companies under 200. Weak. And, even with that, 40 or Republicans didn't vote for it. Despicable. It will sit on McConnell's desk over the weekend because rich Republicans don't care about the poor or elderly.
  18. Google was surprised to learn that they were creating a website to provide info on Covid-19. Despite the President's lie, they are NOT creating a website.

    "...made more than $100,000..." Um, no. They bought $70k in supplies and sold it for $100k. They made $30k. That being said these are horrible people.
  20. But that big letter? Where did everything go wrong?????
  21. Pathetic coward.
  22. Except, he has done nothing to stop North Korea and only made the matter worse. So, if it's the North Koreans, why hasn't Trump done anything? If this is an attack, why has he not acted?
  23. What a coward. Maybe he'll just resign. When he declared bankruptcy one of his 6 times, he walked out after announcing it and left Ivana to deal with the creditors. He's pathetic.
  24. Just a note, I've seen it on sale for $39.99 recently. It's on for $49.95 at Amazon, if you can wait a couple days. Here's the Metacritic score (79): https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/star-wars-jedi-fallen-order
