Gecko, oh sorry and all that I was stuck on thread view by mistake and did not see it..
Counter view and pure conspiracy. Perhaps it's a man made disease by the Americans to finally mute the chinese.
One of the fastest growing economy and their mass export which Trump has been relentlessly trying to stifle via embargo since he came into power. Since COVID-19 chinese exports have frozen and without a doubt this is destroying their GDP .
For long I have believed we're overdue a recession and imho this is the perfect scenario.
Just for something to think about, remove the spaces inbetween www

Sorry TDT, who was your last post aimed at? I see no poster here posted that line?
Hi Pete, you are biased then ha ha
All the best
Ian
Ian, as a former prefect myself I completely refute those slanderous allegations. As the school will tell you we were the bastions of society ;-))))). ATB Pete
Gecko, I totally agree with your post, and can say at my school if you returned from the sweet shop down the road at lunch time with sweets in hand you were, shall we say, encouraged to hand some over or face thrashing with stingingnettals and this was by the perfects...
TDT that 80000 figure has been used for 4 days... do you not think China are down playing the number a little? And Iran? Lol. The amount of people who have this is far greater making the death ratio far lower more in line with the Flu.
Thing is I don’t understand why people are taking this seriously enough to f everything up? People too gullible these days? Don’t have a mind of their own? Most probably don't look into the facts much. If they did they find out the virus is like having a bad cold for two days. Even some have it so mild they didn’t realise they had it. People dying from it already had health complications before catching it. Just like some with normal flu.
Rmr1969, hi I totally agree with your last paragraph about washing your hands, some parents do not instil this rule enough, but then you hear of some parents not even potty training their kids and expect the school to do this, so no hope..
We all live in a nanbypamby word now where playing conkers at school is outlawed and playing sport can cause distress and uncomfort for the loosing team and so is also on the list to go, competivenes is to be discouraged at all cost to stop children having stress attacks, you could not make it up, how are kids supposed to survive out in the real world, so because of this softly softly touch governments must be seen to be doing something, whether right or wrong, if little Johnny caught this at school the parents would probably be suing so they have to over react as is the norm nowadays, just my thoughts..
How ever frustrating it is to be locked in ( and I’ve thrown the kitchen sink at this) the timing is perfect and all the other shares I have my eye on are going down- hopefully they stay there for now ready for the big pay out.
Give covid19 a chance to prove it’s worth lol
Yes agree. This is blown all out of proportion by the media. Could be the end of the free press by the looks of what damage they can do when they keep banging on and scaremongering.
...not only kids :-(
Gecko. Sounds a bit paranoid...Mayt...
and let's not forget circa 650,000 people die from flu every year, every year......!
TDT - you can't really say that, no one has any idea how many people actually have the virus and do not present, many (most) have mild symptoms and likely never realise they had it, the mortality rate you are working out is based only on confirmed cases..........
I agree with the posters believing this is massively over hyped - close schools...? perhaps just spend a little more time teaching kids how to wash their hands and blow their noses properly, that would help now and in the future........
Remember that it's the run up to the USA election and the media are pushing the narrative, if the stock markets fall Trump is a gonna.
The mortality rate is basically aligned to where it is in the world.
The rate in China is high, in Iran it's high ( neither country would be a first choice healthwise.
If you look at the morality rate elsewhere it's in line with flu.
"The common flu causes up to 5 million cases of severe illness worldwide and kills up to 650,000 people every year, according to the World Health Organization
In the US:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that so far this season, there have been at least 15 million flu illnesses for the 2019-2020 season, 140,000 hospitalizations and 8,200 deaths in the U.S. The CDC reports there have been 54 reported flu-related pediatric deaths this season from Influenza B viruses.

As an aside, banking stocks used to be the ones to hold (going back some years) they just printed money, then they got greedy and took risks that exposed them for what they were and had to be bailed out at taxpayer expense, then the PPI scandal, it all took its toll and still today most are fighting to find a way to make enough profit, interest rates are so low and will soon go even lower, the only way banks can make a saving to bolster the earnings is to close branches and reduce the most expensive overhead, the staff, take Lloyds it is continuing to close its branches by using the excuse that many of its customers don't use them and prefer online banking, (weren't we forced into that by the banks themselves) so when all the bank branches close where are we left to obtain cash, ( of course they say we can use the ATM) yes this ATM that we have been told to use is free to use, now they want to charge us for the privalige of that ATM, we will all soon be charged just for the privalege of having a bank account that pays no intrest on savings, I think banks have had their day and can not see how they can continue to make any serious money, take Metro accounting errors and its stock crashes, investors have piled in thinking it is now undervalued and from some sort of rumour thought it would be brought up by Lloyds Bank of all, as previousey stated all banks seem to be wanting to cut costs and have no retail outlets if at all posible and rely on cash machines, banking is not what it was any more...
A 3 weeks long bender? AA services may well be required!
Morning TDT, unfortunately, this correction is pointing more towards a global crash, it has been on the cards for some time and is most unfortunate, the debt worldwide is unsustainable and one can only hope that if it comes it is short and sweet, prolonged would be a real disaster with no quick recovery, we are existing by being propped up all the time, one sticking plaster over another, as in a house of cards if one card fails the rest collapse all around if people are in employment they can by view of taxation help the economy pay off its debt pile and survive, if on the other hand, they are unemployed, less tax is received and people have less money to spend on manufactured things, a death spiral with colossal inflation, take Venezuela as an extreme example of what it could look like but not for the same reason. Interesting times ahead unfortunately...
they are that deep they cant reach the money!!!!!!!!
They may delay a bit longer in the wake of the market turmoil. In a strange way i hope they don't relist until we know how stocks will fare over the next week. It does look grim and being locked in for now could be our saving grace. DOW took a hsmmering today and could get worse. Even Donald Duck tried to calm the nerves of investors by declaring the Big C-Virus is just like a cold.
Some frigging virus...
. ...Some frigging cold !
